Greetings!
I've been struggling with this for a few days but haven 't been able to find any answers to this particular question/issue. Forgive me if this topic has been covered and I've missed it!
I'm trying to use Strummed Acoustic 2 to record a 6/8 pattern. I am able to add Kontakt insert and load the library and pattern. When I test the pattern (play chords with my MIDI keyboard) , it renders properly. However, when I initiate recording in Pro Tools, the pattern doesn't render correctly. The pattern is "hiccupy" and just "off" sounding (phased??). Also, during playback I get the error message "Pro Tools Audio Processing Deadline was not met", and it cites Kontakt 6 as the insert that is causing the error.
I do store my sounds on an external drive (G-mobile -- Mac OS Extended (journaled)) and I thought this might be the problem, since NI recommends that an external drive be formatted that same as the drive upon which Kontakt runs (and THAT drive is . But when testing with the library in the "shared" resource recommended by NI, I am still encountering the same problem.
Here are the things I've tried:
• checked for updates (all software is up to date)
• reinstalled Kontakt and Library (Session Guitarist Strummed Acoustic 2) using Native Access
• trashed my audio preferences and restarted
• trashed my PT preferences and restarted
• increasing buffer size and unchecking the "optimize performance at low buffer sizes" option
(there may be more things I've tried but those are what come to mind...)
My environment is:
Pro Tools 2021.12.0
MacBook Pro running MacOS Big Sur 11.6.3
Dual-Core Intel Core i7
3.5 GHz
16GB RAM
Kontakt 6.6.1
It's quite possible this is user error (misconfiguration) as I'm new to Strummed Acoustic 2 (I've been successful with the original). I would appreciate any insight!
Thanks in advance!
Andrea
