32 Bit Audio Bridge RAM use rises slowly then crashes Bridge

I've seen a previous thread on this which is now locked, does anyone else know how to stop this from occuring?
Basically when I am using BFD2 with Logic running in 64 bit mode it all works great, but the RAM usage of the 32 bit audio bridge just keeps rising and rising slowly until eventually after 20-30 minutes it crashes the bridge and I have to relaunch the bridge. The main program seems unaffected, but it is a bit annoying and really disrupts my workflow.
Anyone else experiencing this with other plug ins? I've purchase iFreeMem, which seems to help lower the RAM again but it takes just as long to do it as relaunching the 32 bit bridge after a crash.

Hi, I am on a 2007 iMac and just moved up from10.5.8 to 10.6.8,and this bridge pops open everytime I open a Logic Pro Project with the Play choirs in it. It doesn't crash,it locks the screen so nothing can be done and the only escape is a hard force quite using the start button. I complained to EW and they said as always repair permissions,I did and installed 3.0.37 which should be 64-bit,the system log says it isx86-64-bit,whatever that means. My RAMM use doesn't go up but with everything locked I'm doing nothing that would use RAM. Trying to load EW instruments always stops and says "File not Found" this dialog window then opens up for locating the file, it always opens to the place where the file is, and the Choose option never lights up. This happens when trying to load a multi of altos,,,but the warning says it can't locate the sopranos file-insanely bad software,maybe it works perfectly on a PC.

Antares aVOX vocal harmonizer crashes the 32 bit audio bridge, any suggestions?

Antares Vocal Harmonizer crashes the 32 bit audio brigde, intermittently on some Logic songs, But ALWAYS on one song in particular. Any suggestions from anyone?

If you are running Logic in 64-bit mode with a variety of plugins, you're going to have to realise that things probably won't be stable until updates get released.
The AU bridge is a workaround for the transition period, and one that many third-party developers haven't had much of an opportunity to test with their products, so you may well get funky behaviour in certain things.
If you're really stuck, go back to 32-bit mode for your edits, and it's worth contacting the developer of your plugins to see what they say about AU Bridge and 64-bit compatibility.

Latency for plugins with 32bit audio bridge

Hi, with 9.1.4 I tryed to use the 64bit version to see if there was more stability with the audio bridge, so far it seems ok but I realized that I have a huge latency when I use 32bit plugins through the audiobridge, it's out of sync, I didn't notice that with previous release though I didn't use the 64bit version a lot in the past.
Apple quote this regarding performance: "32-bit Audio Bridge does use some of your computer's resources, but it is designed to operate extremely efficiently. In most cases, you should not notice any performance difference as compared to running the same plug-ins directly with Logic in 32-bit mode."
Did you notice this and any suggestions ? Thanks

32-Bit Audio Unit Bridge quit unexpectedly while using the Kore2 plugin

Hi,
This is the message I get when closing a project that uses the NI 32bit Kore 2 plugin running 64bit Logic 9.1 - the project does manage to save though. I guess this is the same for everyone - or is it just my machine? Logic hangs afterwards - I have to force quit.
I hadn't given it any thought but I was amazed to note none of the NI stuff is 64bit yet (my NI library is fairly extensive).

Thanks for that link!
Special notes regarding 64-bit versions of Logic and Mainstage
Native Instruments' products are currently not available in 64-bit AudioUnit format, and are also not fully compatible with the 32-bit "plugin bridge" of the latest Logic and Mainstage versions.
It is therefore recommended for users of NI products to use the 32-bit mode of Logic 9.1 and Mainstage 2.1

32 bit audio unit bridge unexpectingly quits

I've just updated to Snow Leopard and I've been using Melodyne to fix vocals. When I used Melodyne on the first 3 vocals, everything in Logic was functioning fine but when I try to import the last vocal track into Melodyne, the 32 bit audio unit bridge unexpectingly quits. I've tried quiting and re-opening Logic and the same problem happens at the same spot. On the previous 3 vocal tracks that I fixed with Melodyne, I have already bounced those tracks in place and have got rid of the old tracks. So, the Melodyne plug in is only open on the last vocal track. It seems strange that my Melodyne plug in was working fine with the 32 bit audio unit bridge (as are all of my plug ins) until now.
Any advice anyone?

After Effects Starts to Render (very slowly), only 1% of RAM used, then crashes

This is what I have:
Intel 2nd Gen i7 3820 @ 3.6Ghz
High Performance Liquid Cooling solution for the CPU
Full size ASUS X79 motherboard
64GB DDR3 Ram @ 1600Mhz
1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive
NVidia GTX560 2GB DDR5 Video Card
850W Power supply
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit Installed/Updated
I installed the latest After Effects, put in all the upgrades. Then I tried to render a template created and...
1. It begins to render very slowly
2. It shows that only 1% of the 64Gb of RAM is being used
3. It crashes after about 2 minutes
I tried implementing multiprocessor as I have a quad core hyperthreaded to make it essentially an 8 core machine. I looked up all kinds of advice about lowering memory for background apps, changing number of cores to use, on and on. I also tried rendering without multiprocessor. Nothing. I am willing to share my AE project with someone, see if they can render it (to check and see if it is something with the project itself, which I doubt).
I just want this to work because I have been looking forward to working with AE a long time.

hey Nixon,
Memory settings in AE are complete Voodoo... Properly configuring your RAM etc within after effects is a mindbender and very counter intuitve.
You've probably already read over this link, but just in case...
http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/10/please-try-recommended-memory-settings-for-afte r-effects-cs5-and-give-feedback.html
I find that even when my settings are good, i get a hang or a failed render if I don't purge the ram etc before I start a render.

I get recurrent drops of the Audio bridge (using Meetingone) any suggestions?

During presentations using Adobe Connect we use audio bridge for presenters, and the attendees get audio over internet.
We use Meetingone for the telephone connection.
For the last two presentations we've had the audio bridge go down repeatedly (every 10-20 minutes), it reconnects but it takes 5-10 seconds usually, its disruptive, a hassle and of course creates apoor impression. Any ideas whats causing it or how to avoid it?
Thanks

Well, the first thing I'd ask is how MeetingOne knows so unequivocally that it isn't a problem on their side. What they provided to you as an explanation, other than the words "It's Adobe's servers." Second, have you raised this as an issue with Adobe Support? That's what they're there for. Their monitoring is not sufficient to tell them that there is a disruption in the communication with the MeetingOne servers as its happening, therefore, they don't know there is an issue unless customers call them and tell them.
If their cluster host is not providing them with sufficient throughput, Adobe would want to know that, and again, the only way for them to find out is through complaints of users.
It sure doesn't sound like there's anything you can do about it. This is Adobe's issue to fix. I wouldn't count on it as a resolved issue simply because you were able to have one successful bridge. It's more likely there's a larger issue at hand on the Adobe side. Especially if this is a frequent issue for you.

Why does 32-Bit Audio Unit Bridge keep crashing?

I operate in 64-Bit but still 32-Bit plugins so the 32-bit AU bridge still floats. It will continually quit during a project sometimes twice-a-day... sometimes 5 times in an hour! I try to gauge if it's a particular load being put on the bridge itself but I can't make any sense of it. It definitely quits when it sits idle. I will come back from having made a cup of coffee and it will have quit. It should be sending reports to Apple (I would think) so after around 6 to 8,000 reports from my computer you think Apple would have addressed the bug?

I don't mean to be rude... but that was a stupid reply.
I run in 64-Bit because I can no longer run in 32-Bit. That's how many plugins I'm running at one time, not to mention some of the newer plugins are only 64-Bit. The reason I still use the 32-Bit AU Bridge is because I still use some of the older 32-Bit plugins. Some of them are discontinued/Legacy products that are invaluable to my production arsenal...
Another reason I cannot run 32-Bit is because it crashes upon start-up due to the immense amount of 64-Bit AU plugins initiated.
I don't think I can even say "thanks" for trying to answer my question because I'm embarrassed for you, at your response.
Can anyone else formulate an educated response? I see that no one has correctly answered this question posted several times in the past by others suffering from the same dilema...

Exporting from PPro CC - Exporting using Match Sequence Settings issue with 24 bit audio

I am having an issue exporting my sequence which contains final AIFF mix (24 bit 48 kHz) into a 'same-as-source' ProRes 422 file with 24 bit audio. I am specifically trying to export media with 'Match Sequence Settings' checked to create an identical output of what my sequence is. I wind up only creating a PR422 with 16 bit audio rather than 24 bit audio.
My sequence contains ProRes 422 media and 24 bit AIFF final stereo mix (1 audio file) from our Sound department.
My sequence is currently setup as "Custom" at 1920x1080, 23.976 fps, Square Pixels, Progressive, etc. Audio is 48 kHz (I don't see an option for choosing different bit rates in the 'Sequence Settings').
Using 'Match Sequence Settings', my options to alter the audio are "greyed out" and unavailable. I'm not sure why 'Match Sequence Settings' doesn't recognize that I am cutting with 24 bit audio and, instead, only exports 16 bit audio.

Always skip Match Sequence Settings and set up the export manually.

Even 16 bit audio out of sync. What now?

I recorded a variety of various length video segments with my Panasonic MiniDV camcorder. I used 16-bit audio and high quality (SP) record mode. I've imported the clips into iMovie and exported them to iDVD and burned an NTSC movie DVD. The audio slowly goes out of sync with the video in each separate clip, even though I've followed the prescribed 16-bit, SP rules. As with many other posts I've read, the A/V syncs perfectly in iMovie, but not when exported to iDVD. Any thoughts? One other note, I did use a remote mic plugged into the microphone jack of the camcorder when I taped. Does anyone know if that would have affected the A/V record quality? i.e. - does the 16 bit setting on my camcorder only work with the built-in mic? There's nothing in the camcorder manual to shed light on this question. When I play back the tapes on the camcorder, it does still idicate that the audio is 16-bit, but who knows?
eMac 1Ghz G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Well, here's what has fixed my audio/video sync problem. First off, I upgraded to the latest versions of iMovie and iDVD. I can't say for sure if that has any bearing on my success, but it couldn't have hurt. After upgrading, I deleted my previously imported video/audio clips because I just couldn't get them to sync properly on the longer clips. I reimported the video/audio from my miniDV camcorder, but first I went to import preferences and chose to automatically restrict the clip length to 9 minutes each. The old clips were starting to go out of sync after 10 miutes. Note that breaking clips into shorter lengths AFTER you import the video will not help. You must do it as the video is being imported. Finally I exported everything to iDVD. It ended up being a 2-hour video and the audio synced perfectly throughout. Yippee!

12 bit audio

Hey, I've been given 5 hours of recorded video all with 12bit audio. When I bring it into iMovie it crackles and jumps horribly. I don't seem to be able to set the ausio import rate. Any ideas?
THanks.
M.
ps I can bring in in through Toast and then export as dv and then bring it into iMovie. All comes in as one clip. Tedious and long!
Help

Lennart, I have about 400 weddings shot on DV tape shot at 12 bit audio over the past 7 years or so. They are all on external hard drives as iMovie 2.1.2 projects. Most of them ( 90% are over 2 hours long ).That was fine when most had to be on VHS tape. No problem. Now most want a DVD with chapters. Big Problem. The iMovie 2.1.2 does not integrate with iDVD so I decided to try and make a full quality QT and import that into iMovie 6 and go from there. No luck, audio was out of synch. I opened the original iMovie 2.1.2 with iMovie 6 and could not read many transitions ( Gee Three ones and others). Now I was in really big trouble. I was looking at re-editing entire projects in iM6. Did one last week and it was 2 hours and 23 minutes long. Took me a whole day to edit. Brought it into iDVD and was told that the content was too long. I got a double layer burner and that is when the Big Wait began. I exported to disc image and took a full day to do that. IDVD hangs at the very end when it encodes audio. Been told to convert the mp3 audio songs to aiff. Did that and no improvement at encoding time. I was under the impression that it would take about 4 hours or less to encode my movie using a dual processor 2.7ghz tower with 8 gigs of ram. My question is how can I take most of those iM2 projects and make DVD's with chapters without re-editing them? I know I must use a later version of iM2 to add chapters but how can I do that without losing any transitions? I posted this question in the iDVD forums but since it also involves iMovie I thought I would give that a try. Thanks Lennart.

32-bit Audio Unit, its possible ?

Hello,
Is it possible to run the 32-bit Audio Unit?
Or is there a converter to convert 64-bit Audio Unit?
Thank you for your answer

Logic 9 uses an unstable bridge to access 32 Bit plugs when you run it in 64 Bit mode. Logic X is not supporting 32 Bit plugs anymore, the bridge is gone, which is a PITA.
EDIT: But -> Bit

Logic 8 64-bit and More RAM

We are running out of RAM. We have a G5 2.5 Quad with 10 GB of RAM running 10.4.11 we use tons of audio units in one session. 3 instances of storm drum 3 of storm drum two, atmosphere, east west symphonic orchestra, EXS instruments, KORE and many more. Our processor can handle all of this when we freeze or burn to audio but the problem is that we can't access all of our RAM. Logic freaks out when we get close to using 4 GB. I've been watching the RAM fill up in the activity monitor utility.
So here is the question that I pose to you. If we update to 10.5.x will we be running in 64 bit and therefore able to access all (or more) of our ram thus solving our frequent crashes and allowing us to load more audio instruments? Any suggestions thoughts would be a big help.

Great thanks for your help. One more question, if a plug in is a 64-bit plug in such as SD2 and we are running it through logic are we going to hit a block because Logic can only access about 4 GB of RAM or can the plug in have free access to RAM regardless of Logic's limitations? If logic is the limiting factor then can we run it on the same computer as a free standing plug in and will that enable SD2 to access all the RAM it needs?
if my understanding serves me correctly a plug will not operate within logic as a 64-bit. what happens in the case of the exs and it would hold true for any other plug which is dependent on RAM is that dynamically access RAM outside of logic until the RAM runs out and then it starts depending on streaming. the technique for this is similar to (but not the same) as virtual memory, where the system will use a hard drive cache as an extension to physical RAM. its all meant to be transparent to the user.
to the fellow talking about gehards comment, my understanding of the situation which came from someone well informed about this, is that there would be big performance hits for going 64-bit with logic, and the only reason it needs to is so that you can have access to more RAM. but you don't have to do that to get to the RAM and hence they didn't go down that road. i am not sure that what he meant was that logic could make a 3rd party au access memory outside of its own space unless the 3rd party was programmed to.
there ARE ways around for the short term which is to run the au outside of logic. i am doing this at the moment and it works fine. its only a very minor inconvenience.

Which do you think; Windows 7: 32-bit / 64-bit, (plus unused RAM issues) is best for video editing?

Hi there!
Just received delivery of a Lenovo G550 with the following spec:
2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo,
4GB (DDR3 - 1066Hz) RAM,
500GB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce G210M (512MB)
Windows 7
The entire purpose for buying this laptop, was for video editing and it is the best spec I could find for my needs and budget.
So what's the problem?
1) Windows 7 is installed as 32-bit, not 64 bit. Why is this? I was given no choice in this decision.
2) Only 2.96GB of that juicey RAM is being used by Windows 7. I need as much RAM as possible for video editing.
3) Lenovo sent NO install disc. - When I eventually get a virus or my HDD fails, I have NO WAY to clean install the very product I have just purchased! (A laptop with Windows 7 OS).
Considerations:
As I understand it (please comment if there are alternative views on this); The 64-bit architecture is only useful for compatible software which has been designed to run 64-bit.
The video editing software I use is "Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 9.0"
The suggested problems with Windows 7 run as 64-bit include:
* Possible lack of driver compatibility support.
* Possibility of 32-bit programs running SLOWER in 64-bit environment, than their native 32-bit environment.
* Higher running temperatures & processor cooling issues.
* No performance gains for all other programs running as 32-bit (email, internet browser, etc).
The suggested advantages with Windows 7 run as 64-bit could be:
* Full utilisation of the 4GB RAM. (Presently limited to 2.96GB)
* Faster rendering and video editing tasks in 64-bit environment.
Questions:
4) How can I get an install disc for Windows 7? Shouldn't this come with the computer?
5) Do you think the potential hassle and architecture conflicts are worth suffering, to get the reported performance gains of 64-bit architecture and the remaining unused RAM?
Thank you for any help and advice!

contact lenovo support line for windows 7 dvds, but make sure if they send recovery dvds instead of windows 7 dvd.
most of people are having trouble with installing windows and drivers, so companies has found as this as solution to send recovery dvd -if asked- or using hidden partition to recovery system - like one key recover - instead of.
but if you ask me, they need to send dvds.
i'll contact the mods and admins about this issue, please stay connected to this post.

In your experience what are the best audio units to use

I hope that some of you folks are open to sharing some of your presets with others who aren't quite as good at toggling the audio unit section of garageband. I'm actually surprised that no site has sprouted up offering file downloads of presets for this section. Without the use of this section many mixes come out sound completely amateur and no better sounding than a 4-track recording vocals on a busy noisy sidewalk. For example I use the augraphiceq but it has no presets, which *****. I understand every voice has its own settings needs in editing or mastering, I just wish garageband offered a wide range of popular presets.
So let me get to what I am in need of from you wise fellow apple seeds, what au's do you use for hip hop vocals/ rock vocals/ or any genre you record. The master presets section do you use any? If so what do you use?
Can you detail your setting so I can create a duplicate to use myself ?
Thank you

Convert the footage to QuickTime DV, interlaced, lower field first with audio at 48khz, 16 bit. In FCE, use the QuickTime DV setup.
