Have had some DAW related annoyances this week. First, we were writing new songs for our band, and constantly ran into crackles and pops in Logic. Well, no wonder, my CPU's completely loaded all the time
!
Also, editing a song's worth of drums that's well over 15 minutes long, has loads of time signature changes and tons of triplets, in PT with BD, then finally hitting smooth:
And having this damn error pop up again:
It just stays there and the task manager window seems to "vibrate", since it keeps popping up and setting the focus into that window. I then have to force quit PT and do it all over again, this time doing the song in two halves, smoothing and checking the fades in the first part, then consolidating it and doing it for the end after that. Notice that it had taken PT about 40 minutes to try and draw the fades and fail, so it took me a nice 2 hours of extra work. Also, after force quitting PT, it wouldn't restart and asked me to authorize again, and froze if I clicked authorize, until I tried unplugging my iLok and connecting it in again.
Best part was that it was also an all-nighter, but that's just my own stupidity
getting to sleep for 1 hour at 12:30 and leaving to record guitar for the whole day after that; I guess there's better ideas on how to spend your fridays. Even though we had loads of fun and ended up with having recorded almost all of the other guitarist's parts for that massive song.
Next time however, I'm going to be editing drums in Reaper, at least for this kind of material.
