ProTools won’t convert songs to wav. Anymore for Mastering purposes..and wth is -6104 error I keep gettin? Can I reinstall ProTools and fix both issues? Please Help! I’m using PT7LE
Another option in the playback engine dialogue box is having "dynamic plug-in processing" activated. It only uses CPU on Plug-ins that have audio actively being processed. For example, if a plug-in is inserted on a track/aux/mstr but there is no audio for any moment, your CPU will kind of stand-by that plug-in's CPU demand. If you don't have dynamic plug-in processing checked, any plug-in loaded will use your CPU.
Thnaks for this! I had mine unchecked because I thought that setting would use more processing power, I never knew what it actually did.
You don’t understand how clutch this video was😂anytime i search up pro tools troubleshoots on youtube, your shit is always the best😂💯
agree
Big same
Google Chrome will cause major CPU issues on Mac with ProTools 2021.3, even when Chrome is not running !!! I just deleted Chrome and instantly solved my Pro Tools freezes and CPU overloads. The buffer size had no effect at all.
All facts. I have chrome on my max and it’s the worst. It’s great on pc but I’m deleting it myself. It slows everything down.
if you disable the video engine in the playback engine that would save a lot of cpu power
You mean LAME TOOLS? or PRO FOOLS? Either way this company and their software is pathetic these days. Try another DAW Lame tools is NOT the industry standard anynore they are falling to the bottom of the list. WORD
I stopped using pro tools after 17 years because of this exact thing. Randomly getting cpu overloads. I’ve tried everything you could think of and it would even mess up while tracking with no plugins and it would do it in random spots while working paid sessions. I finally moved over to logic and never had any issues like that.
Exactly my predicament
@@GregRocs switch to Logic or something else more stable it’s not worth the headache
So fed up of Protools locking up I switched to Studio One using same computer for 2 years not locked up once QED
no way I think im gonna try that out man I guess some computers arent meant for pro tools and some are but fucks me ill be working on a session and it will just freeze for like 10 seconds at a time so if your telling through your experience that theres a better world then I must try see, because I dont wanna know about pro tools anymore!
I'm always watching your vids and never commenting cuz I be so lit and excited bout yo tutorials actually woking. But keep it up bro! i done learned so much from you i feel like an alumni student in the comments lol
Lol. Right on fam. Please don’t ever hesitate to comment or reach out I try to reply to everyone! I’m glad you learning💯💯
Keep getting the AAE -6101
Sign....nothing works
For Pro Tools is a vengeful goddess. One must not taunt Pro Tools. Her DAE error can smite you with the greatest of ease and while in one moment you bask in her glory, the next, she will destroy you and force one reset, to the next. Yay, speak softly in her presence and pray that today, the day of your important drum tracking session with a famous drummer, that she smiles upon thee. For if you forsake her glory, your buffer size shall not save you from the wrath.
I keep getting this error code but I haven't done any processing, i just have recorded tracks in my session
I never had this error problem until I started using EZ keys or EZ bass. And that's with nothing else in the session either. Just 1 singing track. And CPU power says only using 4%. Totally no clue. Anyone else have this problem??
Have you managed to find a fix? I'm literally not using anything kept one plugin and I get the CPU error as well. nothing running in the background either.
System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Results > uncheck every category and uncheck "Allow Spotlight Suggestions in Look up" > Privacy > add Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, and all your hard drives...
Cons: You lose Spotlight functionality.
Pros: Spotlight never sends your system into overload when it starts indexing everything ever again.
wavy wayne a whole G . lol .. nobody wondering about the eye tho lol
how many think it was shorty on the hook
@@richcashhempstead4800 😭
lol Just buy a stronger computer and get a i9 intel computer windows or mac with 16gb of ram and a ssd hard drive and you will kill all that shit. remember yall need to invest money to get that sound you want.
What I have plan of doing, I feel my computer is not powerful enough at all to do the type mixing I want to do. I’m running 8GB Ram, i7 processor 2.3Ghz quad core
Step 1 - Uninstall and download a DAW that isn't garbage.
When I first started mixing a few years back I would put delay and reverb on each track individually. Destroyed my cpu usage. Pro tools would get slow and stop responding on a mix with like 10 tracks lol. Computer wasn't the best but I made it work.
Something else I''ll do is bounce out vocals with the tuning printed on before I start doing things like eq and compression etc. This could be because I'm used to mixing on older computers but I always found auto tune to use up more power than other plugins and having it on 10 tracks was just not possible.
Yea great tip. Commit the auto tune. Pro tools allows you to commit the whole rack now. But I’m afraid of commitment. Lol
Ahaaaaaa Now I know who popped you in da eye-yaey-yaaaeeehh... She was like “ put a ring on it” and you were like “ I have a hard time using the Commit feature”, so she was like “pop” in your eye !!!! (LOLOLOLOL just messing around, how it’s better now.
Gotta make sume changes I Use Eqz on ALL MY TRACKS 😂
4:30
*thanks again* . *i hope your eyes get better soon bro* ✋
I swear I learn something new every time u drop a video bro thanks
💯
You are amazing! I scrolled across you 6 months ago and that was my best move. Thanks for all you do. You are literally a life saver.
The head swings on the intros are just too funny
😂😂
Great stuff
Great video
Dynamic Plug-in Processing only uses plug-ins when they are needed.
Good one.
If anybody is having like audio problems it's bc u have demo plugins so I would just replace them with plugins that are already installed in pro tools
Hey, what happened to your eye, it is red.
Hey yo. I am a Cubase guy, however, I started working in a studio where the main DAW is Protools. Thanks to your videos I have been able to get faster in Protools, and now I want to get a full protools for me. I know, maybe I cam get one license since they sell perperual again. Thanks!
Your left 👁 looks irritated.
Write down all of the installers, and delete them after saving them on chrome or usb flash drive. Update plugins but uninstalled the old ones first one by one, the old driver will cause issues on the update. If you mix videos try to get a second computer just for that , videos and software takes up so much space some software is 900 Meg's.
it's weird because i have an 8 core cpu with 32gb of ram and still got this error. the mystery is beyond frustrating. Thanks for the upload and your input.
I have same issue and was hoping to solve
Did you ever resolve that issue? I’m dealing with that prob as well…
@fivesixspins Also wanted to add; by default AVID Video Engine is enabled. This can take up to 4gb of RAM which can lead to memory issues while using ProTools. To disable go to (in ProTools) Setup > Playback Engine > Video Engine > uncheck this box. I'm sure Windows is in a similar fashion. Found this link to be helpful:
www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2017/6/5/avid-video-engine-if-you-use-pro-tools-then-read-this
Hope this helps someone! Thanks for the video!!!
Cut of your firewall, activity monitor, energy saver, screen timer, which is a monitor when to tell the computer to sleep. Defrag disk, and delete unnecessary files. Change the cache in Protools when getting noise.
Appreciate u picking my question G!
No doubt fam!!
No jokes!!
Defrag your HD... comp doesnt need so much energy lookin for stuff...defragin it keeps the disk neat and tidy. Im runnin PT 1st on a pentium processor...rec as you know is i5 or better...but hey got 6 songs recorded, just have to breakdown the work flow..can only do so much with limited cpu power, and PT intro daw...I got maybe 3 reverbs, 1 comp/limit...
Need to ask questions: First sound playback on a finished song was disabled and none of the multitude of fixes worked, so I decided to start over. Tried to use a previous template that worked and now screen is frozen on the I/O setup window. Ready to pull the plug because I’m frustrated.
Carlos S
Thnx WayneWav - it was indeed dope - fixed me up w science for quicker session compliance. Lessons sound like $$$'s well spent
Thank you so much for this video! Really clear to understand and very presentable! Thank you for your help! :)
No problem!
I got windows and go through this everytime upgrade and reinstall the program and know that my external drive need to be setup in the daw again
When it works it works flawlessly then when it doesn’t nothing works at all when everything worked the day before. And i didn’t change a thing. Very frustrating
Does pro tools power scheme use more CPU or just power consumption? Also do you recommend having it selected during recording and mixing process?
UAD family 👌🏾👌🏾 Great tech tips wavy
🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
Yo does ur pro tools crash when you remove your audio interphase cuz that shit annoying af
Change the disk playback cache size in the playback engine from "normal" to 25% of your RAM.
Great tip...amazing nobody jumped in with a comment or like. I’ll do it right now. That CPU warning box and I are fast becoming greatly acquainted...which sucks.
This helped me today
How to fix CPU error for autotune? My autotune keep making my session crash
My pro tools seized while in set up I/o page .I was trying to designate my interface and advice appreciated. O ya windows 10
Pro Tools can be use with Threadripper 1920X?
what would be happening when i play back my session and my keyboards are changing key in the middle of play back
I open up my pro tools artist and create a session then click open. It starts to open., but then it doesnʻt open. All my other sessions open fine. What am i doing wrong?
Thank you. I usually run everything through the aux. But I'm guilty of that add reverb separately to every single track situation
just get a 8 or 12 core cpu with atleast 16 or 32 gigs thank me later
Wow you are an "A"mazing guy and producer!!! A++ (Just Sub'd+_)
Thanks Issac!
🤦♂️ Only on protools u don’t have this problem with logic hell you don’t have this problem with garage band
Man! I'm really about to just give up on pro tools. It's just slowing me down!!
thats cuz those daws are optimized better for mac since they made by apple
What if setting it to 64, crashes the computer? At 64, is the only way i am not getting latency.
You rock bro thanks and keep waving 👋
💯💯
What’s wrong with your eye bro?
Bro safe okay 🙏🏾💯
Wouldn't Freezing or Committing some tracks help also?
What about when ProToolz won't save in file location 🤷🏾♂️
You may need to change drive permissions in the workspace browser.
I can’t get my pro tools to open I just downloaded it
Disable the video engine if you're not using video!!
💯
bro I don't even use pro tools anymore I have it but its 11 but watching your videos make me wanna upgrade for the simple fact you explain how work and use the daw very good I apprecitae you brotha!!!
Hope everything good bro
TURN OFF VIDEO ENGINE IN THE PLAYBACK ENGINE FOR GOD SAKE
I run to you about everything when it come to pro tools kiss ❤
I run to you about everything when it come to pro tools kiss ❤
my 2cents - I switched to Reaper. Done.
this didn’t do nothing for me, shit still frozen
Bro I really need ur help my mix is not opening even if I hit ctl = pls
why the hell is my buffer only reading one size??
I tried everything but in the end I had to upgrade my 750gb HDD to a 1TB SSD
Good move. Sometimes you are just asking for more than the machine can give.
Wayne.wav exactly Ima video director too so it was stalling my workflow for a bit. Now I’m back at it.
@@waynewav speaking of this ....i have an installed RAM: 32GB....i7 -7700k 4.20GHz processor....and 222 hard drive space ...running Pro-Tools 10 on a windows 10 home.....let me know what you think might be causing protools to be sticking disgustingly PLEEEEAAASE!!!!
How to stop protools from crashing- stop using protools 🤘🏾
What happened to your eye brodie?
G O A T I tell you major goat🐐
Thanks Fam!1
Running PT studio 2022.5.0 on a 15-inch MacBook Pro mid 2012 8GB ram core i7 2.3 GHz 1TB 5400 RPM HDD non retina
(the 83 cutlass of Macs)I have NOT had anymore PLAYBACK ISSUES with this combo in the playback engine.
H/W buffer size: 64 samples
OPTIMIZATIONS: Ignore errors during playback, dynamic plugin processing, limit number of real time threads
DISK PLAYBACK CACHE: 1GB
(this IS the most important step)
currently writing this while, watching your video....playing pro tools on another screen....NO PLAYBACK ISSUES!! No errors no nothing. I solved the issue. Test it out and see if it works for you.
Wayne you got a UAD template ? 👀
CPU be going all the way up
Why does my play button glow green and pause button glow blue and it never plays. its Not the buffer and its not latency and also its not using an output for mic somewhere else
mn what happen in you eye
The best method Is buy best pc,sorry bros
what happened to your left eye brother?
Nice video bro, I had got one of your templates and I have a few questions about it. What would be the best way to get them answered?
Email. Or join the Wavy seals group.

@@waynewav What's your email or should I provide mine?
Hey,
I have the problem that, i put ma Hardware Buffer Size to 64 samples, i record and everything but when i will Start to mix and change the playback enginr i have just the selection 64 samples....
I’m having trouble with trap tune plug-in that I purchased. When I turn it on for a plug-in certain parts of the vocal will cut out or make a humming sound instead of processing the plug-in correctly. Do you have any idea what could cause that?
check out waves impact servers its like uad but can use way more plugins like around 400 plugins at once and they are more affordable. i use uad and waves impact c server and my system works great now...if i knew about the waves server before uad i would of just got the waves setup only..
Can't find the buffer size
Have you experienced opening a plugin (instrument or effect) that would appear white blank? and PT just hangs up? DO you know a fix on that?
first (i think)! really enjoyed the vid
Yes You win!! LOL
Terminator lol jk all love 100
I have an auto fix shellcommand for windows which allows pro tools and windows to separate the processors they use. If anyone wants it let me know. I don't know how to make it work with mac though
My pro tools crashes and shows the blue screen after like 15 minutes and causes my computer to restart...how can I fix this? I’m running pro tool le 8.0.5 on Windows 7 #HelpMe
Why not add more cpu power like a 8 core or 16 core processor, hell overclock it if u have too
Dollar bills
u got a red eye in the intro of the vid
So what happens to me quite a lot is that the CPU box pops up, I hit OK and play again get weird “distorted “Cyclon” (BattleStar Galactica) digital fart sound”. I figured out that unplugging my headphones and plugging them back in fixed it (but that would eventually ruin that input)...but now I just change the buffer size to anything else and that does it. That’s a good hack for any stall, freezing, won’t play issues.
I think Commit and Freeze are probably the best ideas for the “Battle of the CPU”.
Thanks for another great “eye popping” video (ouch)
Optimize pc, clean disk delete unnecessary files. Shut down unused programs.. disable usb drives from sleeping for interface.. screensavers off.. animations pc off. Disk de frag for orginizing files on pc and freeing up disk. Space. Delete all duplicate files.. if i think of anything else ill post..
Biggest problem these days is either poor or non existent compatibility with the computer's operating system. ProTools just doesn't seem to keep up any more, haven't been any updates to the app for almost a whole year, while Mac OS has in that time done one major update and four or five minor ones, and Windows 10 has updated several times too. It won't work at all on Mac because the Mac OS is now Catalina, which doesn't support 32 bit apps like ProTools and Yellow Tools Independence. Windows 10 is too advanced for ProTools to run well inside it and it freezes after a few seconds of use, like it is about to produce the black screen of death.
How can it be that my computer CPU is around 6 - 13, while Pro Tools CPU goes from 40 - 100 within seconds..,.and crash ,,,?
Do you (or anybody) know (for sure) if UAD plugins take any CPU to run as DAW inserts? I know they for sure don’t in console, but just wondering about In the DAW. Thanks.
HI bro< i have one question to ask. i am using pro tools 12. and when i duplicate the drums track to make it 2 and i want to keep only hi hat on the other track. But when i deleted the kick or something else on track it was deleted on the other tract as well. please help how to fix this
Ran into this myself! Midi clips tend to share the same “reference” performance. Update the clip name of the one you want to change and then you should be good to go!
Whats the disk cache feature about under playback engine? I hear the settings may affect CPU Power in some capacity, but I could be wrong.
Yes sir! Subscribed 😊
