Hi All,
- LogicPro 10
- MacPro 3,1 (2008... yes, I know - but it's been rock solid)
- OS 10.8.x
- 14gb RAM
- 7200rpm SATA Drives
Scoring a movie and having a problem that I haven't run into before;
When I play my session from the top, the sync is perfect and stays locked. When I want to start from a couple or few minutes in, then the dialogue audio plays fine (it's exported from the QT into the session) but the picture remains frozen. Every once in a while it will catch up and work ok, but for the most part it just stays frozen and I can't watch the video with my score.
The film is in 5 reels given to me as QT files and each is between 15-17 minutes. Project specs are:
23.97fr video
48k/24bit audio
The score is not that thick... maybe 8-10 instruments at any one time so I know the RAM isn't an issue.
As a possible solution, I have ordered SSD drives and mounting trays from OWC and I plan to transfer my files to those and install them tomorrow. Since they are so much faster than 7200rpm drives, it should help the problem I would think.
Again, this is something I haven't encountered much before but the last film I scored was about 2 years ago (everything was fine then) so maybe the drives are just getting old and full.
Any input, comments, or ideas are welcomed and appreciated.
