Why not try what solved my DAE Error 700 issue?Īll of a sudden, as happened before with my little DAE Error 700 adventure, suddenly everything cleared up immediately when I changed the MBox’s clock source away from from and back to Internal. However, no solution seemed to shake that pesky error screen.įinally, after several reboots, swaps of hard drives, ProTools Preference and Digidesign Database trashings, permission repairs, PRAM and NVRAM resets, the solution came to me. This time around, the Digidesign gods were slightly more helpful, and yielded several articles about H/W Buffer Size Error 6085. Becoming slightly vexed, I ensured that there were no unnecessary devices on the FireWire chain eventually only my MBox 2Pro and a hard drive were daisy chained together in a manner which has been previously described in an earlier post.Īs I had yet to resolve the issue in a satisfactory amount of time, I once again headed to my favorite resources, the Digi User Conference (DUC) and the Digidesign Support Knowledge Base.

However, a larger buffer also did no help. First I decreased the H/W Buffer size, which had no effect, and then I increased the H/W Buffer size since Digidesign’s engineer’s seem to have become confused about whether a smaller or larger buffer is useful. Apparently I wasn’t going to be mixing for a while, so I rolled up my sleeves and began troubleshooting. Seriously? A hardware buffer size error? It’s always unpleasant to be greeted with an error, especially when not a single part of your system has changed since the last use. Eager to get started I fired up ProTools after a quick reboot, built my session, and hit play to hear what I was dealing with when I was greeted with a rather unwelcome surprise.

I’d received a last minute assignment late Saturday and set out to mixing on Sunday. Sometimes, when you’re working in ProTools, it’d be nice to get past the errors and actually get to mixing.

Of course, the next time I forget my iLok, I’ll stick with the frugal choice region consolidation. While I haven’t tried this offering from SSL, it certainly appears to be a cost effective alternative.

For those looking for a more streamlined alternative to the above described solution but still wishing to be thrifty, there’s also the very intriguing SSL Pro Convert. Who would have though it could be so easy to not purchase DigiTranslator? I kid, I kid… Of course, you do have to import your files into your other DAW of choice and drag them to Bar 1, but that’s fairly quick work. I prefer to use the WAV format for interchange, but that’s a personal choice. Right Click on those highlighted files and select Export Regions as Files.


However, a separate session existed in ProTools in which some effects had already been edited. For instance, the other day I was mixing across town for a client and the session had been tracked in Logic. However, I do have occasion to mix in other DAW’s from time to time depending on the needs of clients. All kidding aside, I tend to do most of my work in ProTools. You’re stunned, right? I just knew you would be. I know you’re going to be shocked to learn this, but there actually are DAW’s other than ProTools.
