hello guys since two days
i see
something weird on my dp2.72 on songs
when the tracks are in record mode open ready to record just to push the space bar to play the tracks (many or less) it takes 5 to 10 seconds to go
and when the tracks are not in record mode it goes quick without pb
i tried to definite to the card to use less inputs but it still does it on ( terra fire wire hard disk )
but if i try it on the internal disk (copying the song inside ) it doesn't make it ..
is it a sign? that my hard disk begin to be old (6 Years) ???
well for the moment i m making a copy of my songs on anotre disk to be sure that i will not loose the work :)
if someone sees what it means
i have reinstalled recently my g4 with the dp2.72 official and it has 1?5 G memory ram
does the fact that there is too much memory ? that would cause that pb?
if someone has a clue
thanks in advance

yep yep yep
for the moment
it seems that it is a hard disk pb because the same son copied on another hard disk goes fluently
..
hum hum
i m copying all the work on another disk
but still i am thinking about show can we find new hard disk available for the G4 in firewire 400 for mac os 9.2 ???
because now i am lucky to have another hard disk in back up mode … but for how long ???

Sounds like it could be a 'buffer setting' issue.
-
a 6 years old harddisk is about 3 times faster than firewire - and firewire is capable of playing 50+ tracks at 32 bit with no problem.

Hi,
only a little idea: This happens to me too when I worked in Protools and didn't take care of the setting about the disk space the recording will use. As soon as I changed the setting to 5min and NOT "use the whole disk space" the recording starts immediately. This was my solution - so buffer issue could be the reason. My harddisks are 15years old and are still running... :-)
paule.

thanks everybody for all the reflexions and answers :)
the work hard disk is a lacie terra ( 1000 gigas from 2010 ) ( and when i had the pb it was not more occupied at 40 per cent ( not more than 400 gigas))
there were around 250 go gas stored from sessions this years
and i began working on a recording project these months and 12 songs ( album) more than 30 gigas of multi recording 16 Tracks live in every sessions)
on digital performer with 2 motu interface 1224
A G4 etc ….
now everything is working well
i ve just copied all the work (30 g) in another disk in security
and all the rest in the disk i have cancelled !
so the disk have been empty then i have putted back my present work project and th hard disk is 80 per cent free … i don't know how and why but there is no more pb !
i ve tried to check with nor tons utilities but it doesn't want to sped the disk because every time he tries there is a pb to recognize the firewire disk …. is there someone who have already see this on norton?
or probably my nortons is not well installed ! but i tried with the hard disk tool kit it is the same it doesn't want to recognize them
i m thinking to reinstall a ultrawide intern disk on an adaptec 2930 scsi card because i think fire wire with the time begins to seems difficult no?

hello paule "only a little idea: This happens to me too when I worked in Protools and didn't take care of the setting about the disk space the recording will use."
thanks for this clever advice but how can set this preferences of choosing the space and place on a hard disk
im not on protools i am on dp2.72 mac G4 mac os 9 of course :)

now everything is working well
… i don't know how and why but there is no more pb !
Perhaps there was some goofed up setting/preference or whatever that was corrected by removing then recopying back to your disk. As long as it's working properly now you can continue working. Keep an eye on it and do frequent backups. ;D
