  This is a too common bug that frequently hassles HD Native users, sometimes making their new systems unusable.

  ""Audio processing could not complete due to conflicts with other CPU tasks or a potential clocking issue. If this occurs often, verify your sync cables or try changing the HW Buffer Size setting in the Playback Engine dialog. In most cases a larger HW buffer size will prevent the problem. (-9129)"

  DUC forum is crowded of recent reports of this bug, and its source has been difficult to pin point. There are users that don't have any problems and others that are flooded with -9129 bugs. This bug happens both with older or newer Apple/PC , OSX and Win7 platforms. Also the setups of the users varies widely, some being very simplistic and others having DSP cards like the Universal Audio UAD card.

  It seems that this bug is related somehow with a lack of stability of the HD Native card that's always losing sync and triggering the -9129 error. It might be a Firmware our driver bug that doesn't seem to have a clear workaround nor solution, besides a patch from AVID.

  Please AVID take a serious look into this matter because you have lots of clients which spent thousands of bucks on this system and it as revealed to be very unstable yet.

  Hope to hear about AVID soon.

  It would be nice if Boom could send out midi notes for each channel (kick, snare, hihat, et cetera).

  A drop down menu at the bottom of each boom channel for instance would allow you to select the instrument and midi channel that you would like to send the midi notes to. If you could also assign the midi note itself per channel, you have a potentially very powerful tool to create drum patterns.

  This way Pro Tools gains a fantastic midi drum editor and a great feature that allows you to use our own sounds with Boom. You could for instance let Boom send its tracks to Strike, Structure or a third party plugin like Superior drummer or Steven Slate Drums.

  I believe this shouldn't take the the fabulous AIR team much time to implement in Boom.

  This would surely save a lot of zooming/dragging/swearing.

  Edit Jan 26 2012: Did a search before posting. None of the three links in the two comments below covers this proposal. Keying in the values is not confusing at all. Happens all the time in the plug-in windows. Cubase has this feature and it is really a time saver.

  Hi guys...

  I hope that one of you can help me with this annoying problem.

  My problem is... I record a midi file and then quantize it. Then I make a selection and use the shortcut CMD+e to cut my selection. No I have two midi parts (which are perfectly quantized). When I delete the first part it always cuts the first note from my 2nd part??? I don't get it.

  Any ideas? This sucks!

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Greetings from Austria

  AVID users need a WEB page on avid.com with info about backwards compatibility for discontinued AVID products. One example: Music Production Toolkit and Music Production Toolkit 2 has been discontinued. Are they compatible with Pro Tools MP9 (64 tracks, Multi-track Beat Detective and plug-in wise)? There must be a lot of other examples. Although things are discontinued, they still represent considerable value for the user. At the same time, AVID could provide info about relevant upgrade/update possibilities. Other examples are welcome. You are also very welcome to answer the question above. Thanks.

  This is recorded bug number PTSW-157242. When in the playlist view with multiple comp takes, the PT 10 gets extremely slow and sluggish. The more takes, the slower it gets. Can take several seconds to even select track to solo. During this time, the whole program appears to lock up. Apparently a PT 10 problem only in Windows. Really slows up the work flow.

  It would be great if we could do a "relink parent media file" directly from the time-line window instead of first locating it in the project browser. Should be as easy as right-click on an offline clip, select "relink parent media-file" from the context menu which then takes me to the relink window. Skipping the whole browser follows region-list selection hoop jumping.

  When trimming large clip-groups after a re-cut PT10 often beach balls away. This has happened since region-groups were invented an it still does in PT10. No matter how much RAM you have. Setting the undo level to 1 helps but it still happens. Disk-cache on or off doesn´t make a difference as well. There are people who say it´s memory leaking or it happens when you´re out of ram. But this is not the case. On my system it happens when I have 11GB RAM still free (out of 12GB total). It´s been a PITA for years. Please fix this. It´s a very important feature for post.

  plugins writing automation in real time seem to write each new value as a step - two breakpoints.

  the first repeats the current value and then immediately after, a second breakpoint is added with the new value.

  these steps are audible - affecting sound quality.

  a "smoothing" process similar to "thin" might be a stop-gap but the real fix is in writing the breakpoints in the first place.

  So often when I want to crossfade, I hit the clip gain instead by mistake, because both controls are too close. Moving the clip gain control a couple of pixels on the right would avoid such mistake due to the very tight spacing, and not require to hide clip gain control either.

  In the score editor, track names are listed ONLY at the very beginning of the score, so if you are on page 10 or 20 of a large( many instrument score), it is IMPOSSIBLE to know what track you are editing unless you scroll all the way back to the beginning of the score. Putting the track names at the beginning of each page is necessary if professional scorers are going to use this editor.

  when adjusting AVID channel-strip on the Artist Control I wish the LPF and HPF were on the opposite side.

  It´s kind of counter-intuitive to adjust the low end of a channel on the right side of the controls and the high end on the left side. While the graphical representation in the plugin window is vice versa.

  I understand that the word HIGH pass filter is tempting to put on the right side where the high frequencies are put that kind of filter actually filters the LOW end.

  At the moment, when you use TCE tool to stretch a note it renders the file to the exact size of the clip.

  What I am suggesting is a preference 'TCE handle length' as per the new audiosuite handles in PT10. This means you could use TCE on various notes and then crossfade the various clips without invalid crossfade errors, pops and clicks, due to clip constraints.

  You could also go back and drag out the region to the specified handle length at any point.

  As TCE tool is probably based on Audiosuite I can't imagine it being a difficult feature to implement.

  In many 3rd party interfaces (e.g. RME, TC Electronic) Pro Tools is not able to change the buffer size. Pro Tools must be shut down, then changed in the interface's mixer or control panel, and then re-started. Pro Tools takes a long time to re-start (loading plug-ins etc) and so this is a workflow killer for me. I am not sure if this takes collaboration with each third-party interface company or not, it is my understanding that this can be done with some interfaces and not with others.. At the very least a clear list of interfaces where this is supported.

  When creating rulers, there should be the ability for the ruler selection window to stay open while the user selects all the different rulers desired for the session.
