So I don't know if many of you have found yourselves in a similar situation:
750 seat theater, pretty full with all out production of a popular season-themed musical.
I was/am running sound through the establishments Pro Tools TDM rig with an HD card.
running 2 mic busses into pro tools and back out to the 7 time aligned speaker arrays
Also Running the Backing music tracks from Pro Tools.
Well the show is going fine, everything A ok....till right about the end of the show, great big scene with dancers and a choir and the lead female vocalist. .....
right in the middle of a song!!! Pro Tools takes a big Poop.
The music stops, the lead has a deer caught in the headlights look and the dancers are like fish washed up on the beach. and there I am looking at the screen of Pro Tools saying "CPU OVerload!"
Using all TDM plugs with external Glyph hardrive and cpu max set to 90%!!!!!
What I don't understand is why? TDM is all on the card and I wasnt using any RTAS!!
So thanks for letting me Bitch for a minute. I just wish I could have prevented the whole experience.
So this holiday...make sure to be safe!
