Every time I do a realtime bounce in Pro Tools and I reimport the bounced file into Pro Tools, I notice that Pro Tools has inserted this, approx. 900 samples time gap in the beginning of my audio file. What is wrong with my Pro Tools?

When I output an audio track to a bus and I record that signal in Pro Tools there is no delay. The new waveform lines up with the original waveform perfectly.

I'm doing some sound design these days for a computer game, and it's impossible for me to bounce audio without getting this extra silence time gap in the beginning of my audio files. Why is that?

maybe thats a real kindergarten question but I can not find the "Region List" in Pro Tools. How do I open it?
It should be something like a pop up window.
I'm really new in Pro Tools so I would apreciate to get any help :-)

Some very... Just when everything was feeling really solid...... was editing some Piano tracks... only three stereo tracks, 3-5 takes on playlists.
Some very strange behavior began. I did a search and came up with an identical scenario and will past it below.
My system. PT 8.0.1, PPC 2.7,
I have cleaned prefs and databases..
Below is a detailed post by DUC'r DRUM.
I would appreciate any help sorting this..

We have been having a Pro Tools problem regarding grouped playlists.

This is PC based HD2 with XP SP2 or 3 (can't remember offhand but both should be fine) and PT 8.0.1

Choir recording onto 6 tracks, these were then grouped for tracking purposes. Each take was recorded to a new playlist which protools generated for each member of the group. All is well.
When comping the choir group from 5 playlist lanes problems start to occur. Fine for the first 2 minutes of the song.
When selecting the audition button of playlist whilst in the playlist track view protools re arranges the playlist lanes into a seemingly random order. Some go missing and the others no longer correlate to there related lanes within the group. ie playlist 1 now appears in lane 3 of one track and 5 in an other.
When I come out of playlist view and then back into it protools seems to have a problem redrawing the view. Regions are not horizontally lined up with the playlist lane and others are not there at all but just a black hole where it should be. At this point I go to restart protools but it won't close and comes up with a access violation error.
I have also tried to close playlist view and continue using the playlists in the old manner but I get the same access violation error.

The only way i have found to get around it is to create a new set of tracks and import the takes onto these and not use playlist view.

However we have wondered if we have found a reason for this (as this behaviour has also been reported a few times in the DUC).

When using playlist view on grouped tracks, if another playlist is added to just one track of the group with the group suspended, then that group is re-activated then the playlist view gets a bit funny. The more you use the playlist view the protools seems to struggle to keep everything in order, until an access violation error occurs and you have to restart protools. Upon restart the playlists in relation to the group are out of line and/or missing. The access violation error then occurs again. The only way round it is to manually create new playlists with the correct regions from the region list, which is a bit of a pain.

Does this make sense? Does anyone have anything to add... apart from don't add the one track!

Thanks for reading!

Huh? I got all excited... but then saw this:

All plug-ins below listed as plug-in version 7.4.x or lower require an iLok license.
All plug-ins below listed as plug-in version 8.x or higher do not require an iLok license.

So wait...
What happens if i want D-Fi, but am running a version before 7.4.x?

From my research I have come across:

I have used Netmix but it was pretty buggy from my experience and that was on an HP with XP installed on it.

I have used Soundminer on Mac and that is a smooth and clean program, but I am wondering what it is like on the PC.

The crossover points have been cut in half so all the points are 1/2 of what a regular unit would be. This is good because the points they selected were too high. I was advised of this by a top-notch studio/loud speaker system designer.

Also, the power supply on this unit is external. Again, and excellent modification done by the factory by request. It brought the noise floor down significantly (I would guess 10-15db) and it was 1 of 3 in the world with this modification.

It is in excellent shape and ready to go. $1800 new ... asking $1050
