I have given up.  I have tried everything.

Last night I downloaded the trial of Studio One.  It loaded.  It recognized my Focusrite.  I was able to configure my buffer and sample rate.  EZDrummer 3 and EZBass were recognized.  Without any instructions, I was able to record guitar tracks.  Add automation.  Split the was file for additional processing.  Pan tracks.  And to top it off, use both EZDrummer 3 and EZBass without AAE 9173 error.

My Pro Tools subscription runs out next month.  I have 30 days to try Studio One.  Right now I think I am bailing on Pro Tools and headed to Studio One.  Time will tell.

Brad,

Hey.

I have put so much effort into learning Pro Tools.  I hate to walk away but…………………………………………….

It is frustrating.

Brad,

Hello.

Yes, I turned off hyperthreading early on in this process.

I am considering uninstalling Pro Tools now and reinstalling to see what that gets me.

If that doesn’t work, I am considering the move to Studio One.  My Pro Tools subscription is up in April.  Does the Toontracks Plugins (EZDrummer 3 and EZBass) work with Studio One?

Let me know if you want me to try something else.

Thank you,

Jeff

Brad,

It has been a busy afternoon.

I uninstalled ALL Toontrack software.

FYI:  Yes I use the AudioSender.  I uninstalled it also.

I reinstalled just EZDrummer 3 and EZBass with no addon packs.

I also switch over to my Helix Floor as my Audio Interface to eliminate the Focusrite 4i4.

Everything was working but I wasn’t play a drum track.

I loaded the add on Pack ALT Rock EZX.

Then I play a track with drums that called to the ALT Rock EZX kit.

It crashed fast.

I exited out of Pro Tools and rebooted.  This time I increase the cache.

I was able to play the song a few times.  Then I plugged my guitar it to play along with the track.  It crashed.

I have attached a log file from Pro Tools.  Not sure if this is the right one or not.  It is a big file.  About 90 percent through the file (line number 1153) you can see where I get the error message.  I hope this helps in solving the mystery.

I will keep on testing to see what I can discover.  At this point I don’t think it is the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 since it crashed with a different audio device.

I do have another question.  Different topic.  I started with EZDrummer 2.  I upgraded to EZDrummer 3.  Does EXDrummer 3 have all the drum kits and drum groves from Drummer 2?  Do I need to load or keep EZDrummer 2?

Again, I appreciate all of your help.

Jeff

Brad,

Good morning.  Lunch time here on east coast.

I did try on multiple session and even creating a new one.  Same error.

I also tried the internal card, and I got the same error.

I also tried using the ASIOALL with the Focusrite.  Same error.

I removed EZDrummer 2 and EZDrummer 3.  The played the track.  It errored out on EZBass.  I remove EZDrummer2, EXDrummer3, and EZBass as a plugin on tracks and it plays without issue.

I am in the process of removing ALL Toontrack products and the expansion packs.  Then I will reboot.  Load one at a time until I figure out which one cause the issue.

I have been monitoring through Windows and inside of Pro Tools system usage.  CPU and Memory are barely being used.

I am at a loss.  I figure I would try uninstalling everything and try again.

Your thoughts.  I appreciate your help.

Brad,

Hello.

I changed the Playback settings as you described.  I even increase the HW Buffer size to a larger number. The Video Engine is off and the Ignore Errors has been selected.

I also uninstalled the Focusrite Software and drivers.  Reinstall them.

I removed the Click track.

I rebooted my computer after all the changes and tried again.

I still get the same error.

I also tried loading the ASIOAll and removed the Focusrite all together.  It still errored out.

Any other thought or ideas for me to try?

I am using Pro Tools Studio Version 12.

I used EZDrummer 2 with no issues.  I used the EZDrummer 3 sucessfully.  But now errors.
