Changing Buffer Size

Every time I change the buffer size in audio preferences, Logic tells me that my memory is getting too low and then diagonal black lines appear across all my plug-ins. When I quit and reload, it usually works fine. Sometimes I have to quit Logic entirely and reload the project.
Not sure what's going on.

Logic 9.1.1 with 4 GB of RAM.
I'm mostly using Miroslav Philharmonik - surprise, surprise!
I have about 10 instruments loaded, with an average of 5 channels per instrument. I suppose that's a lot.
Thanks.
There's your answer then You are likely to be running out of memory (as Logic warned you).
Some solutions that may help:
Get more memory (may not be possible for your particular Mac)
Use less/fewer memory intensive plugins.
Possibly, Miroslav P has a disk streaming option, that might at least allow you to run with less samples actually in memory.
Bounce some of the tracks to audio and remove the Instrument plugins to free up some memory.
and on...

  • Changing Buffer Size - Logic Tweaks Out

    I find that I'm unable to change the buffer size (for instance, after I record and want to play back without any glitches) without having to quit Logic and reload the file. I usually get a message that "some plug-ins have been disabled."
    Everything is usually fine after I quit the file and reload. But I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue and if it can be avoided. It's mostly just a time-waster.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind. Thanks.

  • "Streaming Buffer Size" pop-up menu does not exist under Advanced when I use iTunes - Preferences - Advanced. How can I increase buffer size?

    How can I change buffer size in iTunes 10? "Streaming Buffer Size" pop-up menu does not exist under Preferences--Advanced.

    Hi all, iTunes streaming victims.
    I struggled long with the streaming buffer problem of iTunes and indeed could solve it with increasing the buffer size, which features has been removed in iTunes 10. And this without updating the instructions by Apple!
    Here is my solutions:

    perfect for all wireless audio streaming not only for itunes, but any source on the Mac.
    solved the problem completely for my 3 MacBooks, 2 airports, iphones etc.
    it is not for free but a very good value for money.

  • How to increase the buffer size for Oracle?

    After I installed the patch 9.2.0.4, I kept getting 'ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel' error. According to the metalink, increasing the buffer size may solve this problem. I found when I set the trace on, this problem was gone, and after I set the trace off, it came back again. I am not sure if setting the trace on increases buffer size automatically or not, but I want to start from here.
    No matter how easy it is, I really didn't change buffer size before, can anyone show me how to do that?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    I think they asked to increase the db buffer cache size. You may try this
    alter system set db_cache_size=<new size in bytes> scope=both;
    Cheers

  • Linux Serial NI-VISA - Can the buffer size be changed from 4096?

    I am communicating with a serial device on Linux, using LV 7.0 and NI-VISA. About a year and a half ago I had asked customer support if it was possible to change the buffer size for serial communication. At that time I was using NI-VISA 3.0. In my program the VISA function for setting the buffer size would send back an error of 1073676424, and the buffer would always remain at 4096, no matter what value was input into the buffer size control. The answer to this problem was that the error code was just a warning, letting you know that you could not change the buffer size on a Linux machine, and 4096 bytes was the pre-set buffer size (unchangeable). According to the person who was helping me: "The reason that it doesn't work on those platforms (Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX) is that is it simply unavailable in the POSIX serial API that VISA uses on these operating systems."
    Now I have upgraded to NI-VISA 3.4 and I am asking the same question. I notice that an error code is no longer sent when I input different values for the buffer size. However, in my program, the bytes returned from the device max out at 4096, no matter what value I input into the buffer size control. So, has VISA changed, and it is now possible to change the buffer size, but I am setting it up wrong? Or, have the error codes changed, but it is still not possible to change the buffer size on a Linux machine with NI-VISA?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    The buffer size still can't be set, but it seems that we are no longer returning the warning. We'll see if we can get the warning back for the next version of VISA.
    Thanks,

  • Where can I change the buffer size for LKM File to Oracle (EXTRENAL TABLE)?

    Hi all,
    I'd a problem on the buffer size the "LKM File to Oracle (EXTRENAL TABLE)" as follow:
    2801 : 72000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P000
    ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout

    KUP-04020: found record longer than buffer size supported, 524288, in D:\OraHome_1\oracledi\demo\file\PARTIAL_SHPT_FIXED_NHF.dat
    Do you know where can I change the buffer size?
    Remarks: The size of the file is ~2Mb.
    Tao

    Hi,
    The behavior is explained in Bug 4304609 .
    You will encounter ORA-29400 & KUP-04020 errors if the RECORDSIZE clause in the access parameters for the ORACLE_LOADER access driver is larger than 10MB and you are loading records larger than 10MB. Which means their is a another limitation on read size of a record which is termed as granule size. If the default granule size is less then RECORDSIZE it limits the size of the read buffer to granule size.
    Use the pxxtgranule_size parameter to change the size of the granule to a number larger than the size specified for the read buffer.You can use below query to determine the current size of the granule.
    SELECT KSPFTCTXPN PARAMETER_NUMBER,
    KSPPINM PARAMETER_NAME,
    KSPPITY PARAMETER_TYPE,
    KSPFTCTXVL PARAMETER_VALUE,
    KSPFTCTXDF IS_DEFAULT,
    KSPPIFLG MODIFICATION_FLAG,
    KSPFTCTXVF VALUE_FLAG
    FROM X$KSPPI X, X$KSPPCV2 Y
    WHERE (X.INDX+1) = KSPFTCTXPN AND
    KSPPINM LIKE '%_px_xtgranule_size%';
    There is no 'ideal' or recommended value for pxxtgranule_size parameter, it is safe to increase it to work around this particular problem. You can set this parameter using ALTER SESSION/SYSTEM command.
    SQL> alter system set "_px_xtgranule_size"=10000;
    Thanks,

  • Sudden latency! No change of buffer size or hardware. What give?

    I'm trying to record a song and there's latency. I was recording two nights ago and everything was fine. The only thing that's happened between now and then is I unplugged my gear and replugged it today. The buffer size is set to 256 (and always has been as far as I know). Is it possible that the latency is due to a faulty hardware connection? I don't understand how it could be software related. Also, if the solution is to change my buffer size (which I tried and it does reduce the latency at 32) does that affect the sound quality? I find this all quite mysterious... and infuriating.

    Reducing latency does not affect soundquality, but computer performance.
    Buffer 256 induces pretty much latency. On my system, RME Babyface, 14.8 ms roundtrip.
    And I find it quite useless to record with. So I go for buffer 64/32, or simply mute the channel I'm recording to.
    And monitoring through my interface........But you didn't explain if your problem is MIdi or audio related.
    With first version of LPX (10.0) I experienced som strange behaviour, too. It seems to have gone now.

  • Terminal Buffer Overrun, Can You Change the Size?

    Hi-
    I frequently use BBEdit or the Text Editor to write a bunch of text (SQL, scripts, etc.) and then COPY / PASTE that into the Terminal. If the block of text I copy is longer than about 1024 characters, I hear a beeping sound from Terminal and it drops characters from the middle of the PASTE operation.
    My guess is that Terminal has a buffer of about 1k and when I copy large chunks of data, I overrun the buffer and it sounds the beep to tell me that. Then it just keeps pushing data in from the COPY / PASTE; although, some characters end up missing because of the overrun.
    Is this correct? Is there a way to change the buffer size?
    MacBook Pro, iMac 20   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Yes. Duplicate your book first in case of issues with text reflow ( depress the command key and press d to duplicate) then select the book, click on themes and choose the same theme and the new size

  • Logic crashing when saving buffer size change?

    Logic is crashing when saving buffer size change. Is it that my Autotune Evo plug-in window is open? I've noticed some correlation but it could have nothing to do with it.

    Tried this alright & seems to have fixed the problem so I am so grateful. Many thanks Pancenter!! What did you actually instruct me to do?
    One of the things I previously tried was to re-install logic 9 again but strangely after I trashed it and emptied it was still present in Apps. How come this was the case... just curious??
    Thanks for everything

  • When making changes to the I/O buffer size( motu-pci 424) it takes an abnormal length of time for the changes to take affect any ideas?

    when making changes to the I/O buffer size( motu-pci 424) it takes an abnormal length of time for the changes to take affect any ideas?

    A fully loaded one( keep in mind I have had fully loaded projects in the past, and it did not take this long) this was noticed after installing LP8, also major latencey even at 64 buffer size

  • I/O Buffer Size Requires Constant Changes

    Every 20 seconds or so, I have change the I/O Buffer Size to stop a crackling noise and latency.  When I change it, everything sounds clear for 20 seconds, and then goes back to sounding terrible and out of sync.  Any help?

    it sounds like you have an issue that isn't actually directly related to the buffer size. When you chnge the buffer size, you are reinitializing core audio. Something else is happening that causes your sync issues after about 20 seconds, then reintializing clears it.
    What sort of setup do you have? Do you have an aggregate device? A clock? What sorts of instruments? etc.

  • Effect of Changing Stream Buffer Size

    What is the downside (if any) of changing the Stream Buffer Size from Medium to Large when playing music files?

    Streaming Buffer Size
    Change how much audio or video is downloaded before it starts to play. Choosing a larger buffer can help video play more smoothly. If you have a fast Internet connection, a smaller buffer can help the movie start playing more quickly.

  • 12.3 and 12.4 beta. Cannot change the size of the ostream buffer with stlport.

    The following program does not work as expected when compiled with -library=stlport4
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        cout.rdbuf()->pubsetbuf(new char[20*1024+1], 20*1024+1);
        cout.sync_with_stdio(false);
        for(int i=0; i!=50000; ++i)
            cout << i;
    CC t.cc -library=stlport4 && truss -t write ./a.out > /dev/null
    will show that it uses buffer-size of 4096
    The same with 12.4.
    This example will work if we exchange the order of the two cout...  lines.
    Without library=stlport4 it works fine.

    Yes, that looks like a bug in STLport. I have filed bug 18810043 for you. If you have an Oracle Solaris Studio service contract with Oracle, you can request a fix.
    The workaround is simple: move the sync_with_stdio call to the top of main.
    In fact, the effect of calling sync_with-stdio after any I/O operation can vary among implementations, so doing the call first is better programming practice anyway.

  • Changing input buffer size slows down simulated device?!?

    hi,
    my basic problem is having a 200279 buffer overflow.
    for a quick fix I increased the buffer size using DAQmxSetBufInputBufSize, but now the signal coming from the simulated device is much slower.
    how can it be?
    thanx!

    Hi,
    Buffer overflow errors occur when data is written to the buffer faster than it is being read off of it. Buffer underflow errors occur when data is being read off the buffer faster than new data is being added. In order to avoid either of these, a general rule of thumb for NI devices is to acquire around 1/10th of a second of data. For example, for a sample rate of 100 Hz, set samples to read at 10 samples.
    Is it possible for you to decrease the sample rate?

  • Exceeds data buffer size discarding this snmp request

    Morning
    Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.3 is sending SNMP request too big for asa interface buffer.
    LMS is running on Windows server
    incoming SNMP request (528 bytes) from IP address x.x.x.x  Port  50592  Interface "inside" exceeds data buffer size, discarding this SNMP  request.
    212005: incoming SNMP request (%d bytes) from %s exceeds data buffer size, discarding this SNMP request.
    It is very much like this error
    Error Message    %PIX-3-212005: incoming SNMP request (number bytes) on interface
    interface_name exceeds data buffer size, discarding this SNMP request.
    Explanation    This is an SNMP message. This message reports that the length of the incoming SNMP  request, destined for the firewall, exceeds the size of the internal data buffer (512 bytes) used for  storing the request during internal processing; therefore, the firewall is unable to process this request.  This does not affect the SNMP traffic passing through the firewall via any interface.
    Recommended Action    Have the SNMP management station resend the request with a shorter length,  for example, instead of querying multiple MIB variables in one request, try querying only one MIB  variable in a request. This may involve modifying the configuration of the SNMP manager software.
    how do I change the SNMP request size in LMS?
    I can only find the following that might be an option
