FIX: Pro Tools “Could not create a new document because Assertion in…”.
Buffer overrun pro tools 12 mac series#

If you ever crawl inside an old hollow log and go to sleep, and while you’re in there some guys come and seal up both ends and then put it on a truck and take it to another city, boy, I don’t know what to tell you. If not, then I don’t know what to tell you, which reminds me of a “Deep Thought” by Jack Handey. If the session plays back without stopping, then it worked. Reconnect the audio hard drive and audio interface.Unplug the audio hard drive and Mbox 2 Pro (or the audio interface you’re using).Eject the hard drive used for recording audio.I’ve tried a lot of things and the problem seems to be related to the hard drive and firewire ports. If this happens often, try increasing the “H/W Buffer Size” in the Playback Engine Dialog, or removing some plug-ins. In fact, not only does decreasing the buffer size seems contrary to the suggested way to solve a buffer underrun, but it then sometimes throws this error message:Ī CPU overload occured. Apparently, Pro Tools 9 is a workaholic and doesn’t like taking lunch breaks, at least when running on the particular combination of MacBook Pro, Mbox 2 Pro, and Western Digital hard drive that I’m using.įollowing the directions to decrease the “H/W Buffer Size” in the Playback Engine panel doesn’t seem to help. The session file will only playback audio for 1 second or less and then the error message pops up. Occasionally this error pops up in Pro Tools, usually after I return from a meal in the middle of a long recording or mixing session. If this occurs frequently, try decreasing the “H/W Buffer Size” in the Playback Engine panel or remove other devices from the audio firewire bus.
