Bounce to Disk, I solved my problems in this way...

Well it seems that resetting factory defaults of the audio interface solved some other audio problems but not the BTD problems...( the proove is that if you bounce using the mac internal audio interface the problems persist).
So, try the next solution cause for me it worked.
Everytime you load a song, i mean everytime!, go on settings (setup/configure audio system/configure studio settings) and deselect and select "plugin latency compensation" and deselect and select "pre-fill file buffer".
If you go on settings and you see that for example pre-fill was deselected is not a problem, select it, save, quit performer and reload the song, and after deselect and select the 2 fields (plugins compensation and pre-fill).
Now you can bounce.
I did 28-30 bounce in this way and all was perfect..

.
Remember, you don't need to do this operation before every Bounce, just after you load the song.
i hope this will work for you.

Thanks, pistoni. I wonder how MOTU would feel if they knew their users had to go through this method with each song load? I'm sure this is not what they intended, but it's good to know it works. It's just a shame that they can't reproduce the problem.

heh i know...

thx Frodo for your post.
I'm still finding to solve another problem. When i print a score in quickscribe editor the ties between notes are invisibles....
even if i save the score in pdf or preview.
but it seems happens only to me...

Wow! No kidding? I hope everyone with a BTD problem will give this a try and see if it makes any difference in their output. If so, then we've found our bug, and MOTU can finally acknowledge that it exists, is reproducible, and then they can FIX IT!

Try it and let me know..

, i test it with 2408 mkII, with 828 and with mac internal audio interface and i get the same results, every bounce was good.

Is the BTD problem that you are getting clicks and pops?
If so I have had that problem intermittently.
I have a DUAL 1 GHZ G4 with 10.4 an 828mkII and a UltraLite.
My remedy has been remixing back through my board using the 20 outputs that I have available and then going back into a stero channel in DP.
When I do this, no problems.
However, if I want to do a quick in the box refernce mix...no dice.
Not always clean.

Yes a remedy to BTD problems is to record all mix in realtime in a pair of stereo... but i tryed to solve in a faster way.
Anyway i had no clicks and pops, my problems was tracks that randomly went in mute.
CLicks and pops are often problems of clock(internal or external) or buffersize (try to set 1024) or maybe you need to reset to factory default
your 828 mkII(have a look to other topic regarding bounce problem).

Hi All !
I met BTD problem today for the first time after using our new Quad, 8G RAM, WD 1500ADFD, OSX 10.4.7, DP 5.1 system 3 weeks long without problems in 10 projects.
I work for a radio station and it is impossible to check all finished programs realtime, so I am really horrified.
My bounces started with a fade in effect ( of course there was no fade on the soundbite ) and in the first 3 minutes of a 30 minute long program I had 1-3 second long pauses, or dropouts.
I tried now the method with the prefill and latency comp button and it worked !!!!!!
This is an impossible situation, MOTU we like DP, but after years of working without problems this bug has to be repaired as soon as possible.
( If it is a bug and not an operating error on my side. )

I hope someone is contacting motu about all of this

I found this old thread today because I had major problems yesterday
doing BTD with soundbites starting at time 0... The bounces are starting with a short fade ,
no good for tracks starting on the 1st beat with a kick drum etc..
No pops or crackles in the bounced files but it looks like this problem
still isn't completely fixed.. I tried freezing the files but the same thing happened.

Has MOTU even acknowledged this problem? I guess I need to file a support request with them too.

rememebr man, I have discovered ONE fix for crossfade issues. Such as crackling fades, when they are merged etc.

Quite DP, throw out your fades folder, let it rebuild it's fades....
Perhpas this isn't a bad prevetative measure before doing serioud BTD stuff too?..who knows...
