@jeam25 - A quick side note: I do not face any "CPU overload" errors anymore with the latest Pro Tools version 2020.03
Let's hope they will let it as is ... stable for the moment.
Nice.
Because I've been conditioned to inherently mistrust these updates, I always keep the last 3 or 4 versions of Pro Tools installers around, just in case. I have one spare of 2018.12 that seems to be really stable. I'm staying at Mojave. All of my media SSDs are HFS+.
My intent in my builds is to win the
"Pro Tools 6101-Error War" by using overwhelming CPU brute force, 64GB RAM, SSDs, and a carefully planned layout with a great power supply. My binned 9900KS runs at 4 GHz base, but the turbo is set to peak at 4.8 GHz across all cores. It's much more stable and quiet than the top-spec iMac i9 that I had for a while last year.
I still keep the
Avid Video Engine disabled because Avid has not yet fixed the old clunky and buggy
Quicktime Media Server process. All monitoring (and i/o) is through the UAD Apollo Console's Virtual Channels. I only use plugins in Pro Tools when I mix. Average
System Delay on a 24/44.1 session is ~3 ms –because everyone knows that using
Samples for measuring
System Delay is cheating
. I'm still running Clover, the usual kexts and drivers, and a custom SSDT with USB Inject All, all loaded and running from the EFI.
@KingBfire : How are you using the GTX? Are you on High Sierra or earlier? Is it a patch or spoof?
