G'day all, apologies for not updating the site is so long, but with moving interstate, a new job, finding a house, and being forced at this stage to live out of boxes, I've had no time at all to address any recording, mixing, or anything else Pro Tools based.
One issue I've had for quite some time is loading new kits into FXpansion's wonderful BFD2, as this process causes and application hang, then unloads Pro Tools completely. This issue has been occurring for as long as I can remember, but last night I found out why: Novation's Remote SL Compact and Automap products. I used that hardware for a couple of weeks, and then found myself not taking advantage of it at all, but if I think back correctly, it would have been around that time that BFD2 refused to load new kits for me.
So, in order to get around this, I uninstalled the Remote SL and Automap software. Be warned: you *must* remove the wrapped plug-ins first using the Automap plug-in manager before uninstalling the application itself. Since completing this process, not only are my kits now loading correctly, but Pro Tools in general seems a great deal snappier.
For those of you considering a Remote SL, be warned, it may introduce system sluggishness and plug-ins instability.
