CPU Spikes, stutter starts and audio drop-outs
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 2:32 pm
I have been wrestling with this problem off & on for months. During over dubs on new tracks, I have either CPU spikes where the Spike light glows red, the playback stutters and will consequently drop recording to the over dub tracks. On this current project i am only playing back 3 tracks & recording 3 new ones. I have disabled the message window but the process will still occur randomly. Very difficult to do overdubs when the artist looses the playback signal.
My set up: 896mk3, DP 7.12, Mac os 10.4.11, Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5, 7 GB DDR SDRAM, Graphics card ATI Radeon 9650 256mb Vram, recording to Graid 2Tb, firewire 800.
Settings: Hardware SR 48000, Clock:internal, Buffer size 512, Host Buffer:2, Work Priority:Medium.
Any help or ideas as where I should go to resolve this issue. Thanks!
