When the session becomes large and a lot of instruments are played in
realtime by SampleTank, it may happen that the s stem is not powerful
enough to handle all the computations needed. As this happens, you see the
CPU performance meter rise, and some times Pro Tools also stops the song
saying that there is too much CPU load.
In this case the solution is to “record ”some SampleTank midi tracks into
audio, in order to free precious CPU resources.
The complete procedure:
1.Solo the midi track you are going to bounce to disk and the Audio track
where SampleTank is inserted.
2.Select the area you want to bounce highlighting the midi region. If you
don’t make any selection the whole song will be bounced by Pro Tools.
3.Select the function “bounce to disk ”from the Pro Tools file menu.
4.Select multiple mono if you’re going to create a stereo track or mono if
you’re going with a mono track.
5.Select Bounce.
6.After the bounce has finished import back to the Pro Tools session the
saved audiofile into an audio track.
7.Remove the instrument from SampleTank to free up more CPU usage.
Remember to solo the midi track and the audio channel where SampleTank
is inserted!
Of course we recommend to keep the midi tracks in the session anyway,
even if they’re printed to audio:t his will allow for further modifications.
