DAE 1113 Error

When I open up pro tools, I get a message that says DAE 1113 Error and when I press ok it closes the program by itself. How do I fix this problem so I can use the program?

I guess you're using Win XP or 2000 or something like that. It only works witch win 98 or win ME

Effects stop working?

Out of nowhere my effects on pro tools stopped working, they act like they are processing but do not. The inserts still work though. Anyone know how to fix this?

thanks

I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

I really don't know what you people expect when you download protools free. I think most of you expect to become a recording god once you use this powerful software. All of you fools try to use it on your crappy computers that you've bought from dell, HP and such. Pro tools is the most powerful recording program out there. Pro tools free is a sample program for people looking to buy the full blown systems; it is so they can experiment and learn; not for people looking to produce full albums 2 tracks at a time.

I'm also sick of those people trading plugins on the net. I pay good money for my plugins and am proud of it. The way I look at it is like ‘going into a recording studio and stealing a whole rack of gear’. If some fucking punk came in and took my 1176 I'd hunt them down and shove a boot up their ass.

People, please leave the recording to the recording engineers. Pay them money to do your work; let them record using the TDM systems they've bought. Don't use PT Free if you are just learning. Fuck off and leave it to the big boys

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH and BLAH. All I read was shit spurring out of your mind, you self centered, ego minded, rich barbie malibu bitch. Who gives a fuck what you've bought. And honestly the reason you are crying about freeware is because musicians quit going to your studio so now the only thing left is to bitch bitch and bitch. Thanks to all those out their who took the time to bash this asshole, go on, go to mommy she's probably the one who bought your toys.

Re: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

www.kuzub.com

Also www.highvoltagerecording.com

some sites that maybe of interest, and a business "not" to use

Re: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

This guy has tons of pics posted and 2 websites. I hope that he doesn't think he'll get much business from this post. Family pics and everything. What a goofF!!! nothing like slamming people and then expecting people to come to your studio.

Re: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

I am a big boy (240 Lbs)
I 'looked into' Ptools due to being bored w/ Logic 6 one day
I found Ptools rather testy and poorly 'constructed' when compaired tp Logic
I am a mastering engineer
I am a also staff composer for a large audo-media compostinal group
I am a professional recording musician

I have ethics
I have morals

I hope that, in the future, you will gain the humilty to realise that, even now, you are learning.

Others learn as well.

Humlity, and learned advice are the professional recordist/engineers greatest 'selling point'.

learn.

Re: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

well, i try to download this free shit just for learning the basics about it because im planning to get a job from recording studio.
And you who said: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are, well, ppl has always made demos by them selves, and you aint gonna stop it with your stupid bullshit.

Hey asshole! You probably don't even know what an 1176 is! YOU M

<b>
Hey Tony;

I doubt you even know what an 1176 is! People with da real gear are not out bickering on the Internet because they spend their time in their studio. You come off as a jealous asshole punk!
BTW, in the studio, recording albums "two tracks at a time" is very fucking common! YOU STUPID FUCKING BUTT MUNCH!

Now, if you want to learn from da big dogs, I suggest that you start by dl'ing and using this fine tool. It will be the closest thing you EVER get to the real deal, unless, of course, you grow out of your punk mentality!

Re: Hey asshole! You probably don't even know what an 1176 is! Y

Urei 1176's aren't that bad a comp but there's far better out there. i don't reckon a real engineer would care that much about pro tool demos for free. Real engineer use decent gear like ssl's or neve's, and studer's or sony/mci's to achieve quality recording not wank digital pish.

Re: Hey asshole! You probably don't even know what an 1176 is! Y

Apparently this guy has a lost future. I have worked in the music industry as a musician and recording engineer for nearly thirty years and have no clue as to what is his 1176?
Maybe the success I have had has been a waste of his time. The majority of music I have worked on has been built one or two tracks at a time. And since it was a waste of his time they came to me for help.
Maybe this guy works with a 11-7-6 console that was cutting edge circa 1944. The one with the black and white picture tube that was as big as a desk, and created enough heat to warm the average living room and measured 11'x7'x6'.
Or maybe he has the new 1176 console built by Der Shtink Heimers in germany. The console that nothing good comes out of except makes payroll for the employee when one sells.
Or maybe he is using Mackie Mixer (formerly known as tapco) serial number 1176.
Or maybe this guy is just lonely, has no friends, and everyone in the music world thinks he is a bitter ass-hole and would not give him the time of day, much less thier mix.
Now I really feel sorry for him. I guess I need to tell everyone I have ever worked with to go spend gobbs of money on stuff they will never take time to learn how to work, but convince them it was the right thing to spend $10,000 for something you will not use more than 3 times. Just like he has.
I have recently heard some awesome mixes created on totally free linux based software, with free plug ins. I found this BB looking for the software. To all who read, IT IS NOT WHAT IS SPENT THAT MAKES THE MUSIC. It is what comes out of the artist that makes the music. Engineers help the artist polish it. If all he gets is shit to work with, there is a good reason for it.
Have fun making music any way you can!

Re: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

Well put Man,
...friggen tulip's brains have been devoured by vultures!

Of course, Pro Tools really isn't that hard to master as far as programs go. Knowing how far to take a mix so as not to over produce--is a whole different story! Beware the Engineer with ear made of tin...

ctrl+ take me the edit window----- ctrl + take me to the mixing baord---- What ever shall I do? Oh MY....

suck eggs!! lol

Shoulda paid $3000K on a CRapple

The Dells and HP's you mock will wipe the floor with a Mac that was 3x the cost.

I build systems for whiney punks like this guy, his ilk think because they have no life and can spend every waking hour producing music that nobody ever hears, they're gods.

Tony, in anycase, please shove all your gear up your muthaf#$king ass. Thank you.

Sounds like someone has been practicing their Pro-Wrestling Monologues in front of their mirror a little too often in recent weeks. But gee, i took your advice and DIDN't go get the ProTools Free. Like youz said Hoss, "i'll leave it to the Big Boys", an i reckon i don't have room fer another boot up my ass. I went out and just dropped 3000.00 on anything that was ProTools AND didn't have the term "free", or even "inexpensive" for that matter, written on the product. Boy the salesman told me that if i'm learning i should try ProTools Free, but after consulting your eliquently stated post he then understood that it would be pointless for any who was LEARNING to waste their time on a free fully functional software app when they can blow wads of cash on something they might not even be tinkering with in a week. It's excellent positive feedback like yours that is gonna "spur" people on "hoss" into the world of music. It can't be easy, i mean take yourself for example, i didn't catch how long you've been engineering, but judging by your demeanor, it's been awhile, and from the tone of your post, i surmise maybe your the sound engineer for the tape deck in the dish area of that Hooter's in Utah below Snowbird. Oh, i gotta go, my CRACKZ from Phrozen Crew for WaveWarp v2.04 just downloaded.

Re: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

Let go of your cocok embecile- successful recording artist

Re: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

Wow! I have never read anything from someone so much in need of getting laid or a job or something other than self-manipulating-ego-centric-paranoid-verbal ejaculation. If something is FREE and you have an interest in learning about the FREE information and or technology, then it is a FREE opportunity to enhance you personal and professional development. However I can sypathize with the feeling of having spent a great deal of cash to be educated in a particular trade or craft, but if GIVEN a complete studio or rack of equipment to learn and possibly fullfill a dream then shithead the Idiot is the one that doesn't take it. And if by chance your are resourceful enough to make a complete album two tracks at a time, without the assistance of the afore mentioned non-vaselined, over educated, unemployed (unknown)engineer, and you sell two copies at 10.00 a piece then your are a professional and should be applauded. Something this jerk doesn't understand is the basic business priciple of "cost jusitification" if you aren't making money on an investment why invest., When it becomes justified you buy the needed tools with all expedience and register them accordingly. Until then "Viva Grantis".

BLAH BLAH BLAH! I have been a recording engineer for 25 years and I am all for people getting their heads round systems by using free systems like this.

In fact, I have been presented with some amazing tracks done on systems which have less than half the functionality of this one - Think of all the tracks done in the sixties direct to tape mono - no multitrack, bugger all effects, but some solid, well thought out production.

I find your stupid comments unbelievable for someone who seems to claim to be a Sound Engineer - we never talk like that unless very drunk, and tend to be very tollerant of what people are trying to do - it is what makes us survive!

Go on, anyone who wants to get their head round digtally recorded music, go get this program. It will give you a good start, and may start you on a career that allows you to use or buy the top end kit - but you have to start somehwere!

Re: I Can't Believe how stupid you people are

Get a life. Can you believe how narrow-minded and unimaginative some of these so-called professional geeks actually are? Yeah - go on and pay if you want some Pete Waterman-style nerd to imprint his "ideas" on yours. Otherwise, make your own way in life. There's a mass of free stuff out there which isn't crap. Why not assemble your own bank of fredeware and then enjoy yourself without emptying your bank balance into the pocket of some arsehole who can only play with consoles (or himself).

Though I agree with you about the trading of plugins, I think you need to lighten up a little. Everyone has to learn somewhere you know. I get the same response from people when I produce professional quality video productions on my home PC for a fraction of what it costs the "old skool" boys.
