Ok, so I recently moved to Samp 8.1. I have to say I absolutly love it, and in general it seems very stable, with some amazing new features.
However, yesterday in the middle of a drum tracking session, weird things started happening during playback. I was tracking drums for 14 songs (over two days) with a young band, and I was generally looking for two 'keeper' takes for each song.
I am using the Fireface 800 and putting down ten tracks at a time. Everything would seem to be fine until I got my first keeper, added ten empty tracks to the multitrak VIP view, muted them all, and moved my keeper tracks down on to the empty ones so I could use the armed tracks to go for another one.
When I hit playback (even though the first keeper was muted) is was ok for a couple of seconds and then seemed to splutter out. I was occasionally getting a 'Disk Usage' >100% as well.
I messed with some buffer settings, but the only way I could stop this happening (and I was under pressure to keep the session going) was to disable 'TrackSpeed', in the Advanced Buffer Settings.
I have a rough idea of what TrackSpeed does, but I'd like to know what it is in my system that is making it not work properly, and what the consequences of disabling it are.
Some system info:
Pent 4 3.2gHz
2 x 7200RPM HD, 80GB & 200GB (Both less than half full)
1GB RAM
2 x UAD-1 PCI ards
1 x Firewire 400 PCI card
Any advice/info much appreciated,
Cheers,
Nathan
