Īlong the way, I replaced the MachFive 3 Jazz Bass (very "heavy" resource usage and chromatically sampled) with the Jazz Bass from SampleTank 3 (IK Multimedia), which for reference also had clicks and jumps in the combined score(s) for NOTION 4 and NOTION 5.
So, I did a few more experiments, and what works is a combination of (a) splitting the NOTION score into two subscores and (b) using NOTION 5 rather than NOTION 6, which is fine with me because as long as I find a workaround, I'm happy. No matter what I did-including splitting the score into two subscores and saving the subscores from N4-to-N5 and then from N5-to-N6-nothing worked, and NOTION 6 crashed consistently, both when running standalone and when running as a ReWire slave to Digital Performer 9, which was the ReWire host controller. However, that didn't provide a solution, so I kept doing more experiments until I found a solution and these experiments included opening the score in NOTION 4 (which worked with not problems) and then opening the score and saving it in NOTION 5 (which also worked but with some clicks and jumps due to having too many "heavy" MachFive 3 VSTi virtual instruments). The original NOTION 4 score started on the first beat of the first measure, so I thought that might be the problem and inserted four (4) empty measures at the start of the score, which is workaround I use for this annoyance.

Here in the sound isolation studio, Digital Performer has a problem with NOTION scores that don't have a few empty measures at the start, and since this consistently crashes Digital Performer and leaves NOTION running but totally confused, I attribute the problem to Digital Performer, since here the sound isolation studio the indisputable rule is that when an application on the Mac crashes, it's the application's fault, since applications are not supposed to crash on the Mac-instead, if there is a problem the application is supposed to exit gracefully.

I worked on this for several hours with little progress other than discovering through a series of experiments that it appears NOTION 6 has problems handling the small set of VSTi virtual instruments in this score and this included trying to move the audio from NOTION to Digital Performer 9 (MOTU), which did not work and also caused crashes on the Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan). McLane 5.5GT Briggs & Stratton Edger/Trimmer Steel Wheels This might not occur when I get a new Mac-probably a very peppy iMac-but that's not going to happen until I mow enough lawns to earn $100 to get the MOTU 828mk3 repaired. Īs explained in more detail ( see below), the workaround for the NOTION 6 problem is to use NOTION 5 instead of NOTION 6, which works for me. Īnd the resource-intensive requirements for some of the MachFive 3 VSTi virtual instruments is another aspect, but I already have a workaround for it. It was a problem with NOTION 6 all the time, but in some experiments it also was a Digital Performer 9 problem-except that I already have a workaround for the Digital Performer 9 problem with rewinding or starting at the first beat of the first measure. No matter what I tried in a series of experiments (a.k.a., "workarounds"), NOTION 6 occasionally was able to open the NOTION 4 score-and later the NOTION 5 versions-but it consistently crashed and even when I was able to save the score(s) in NOTION 6, after I closed the saved score exited NOTION 6 and then started NOTION 6 to open the saved score, NOTION 6 crashed. I suppose-but am not certain-that some of this "overloading" does not occur with a faster and more current Mac Pro or iMac, but at present all I can do is guess. The earlier mix was done entirely in NOTION 4, and while there were not so many instruments, half of them were done using MachFive 3 (MOTU) with heavy sampling and processing requirements, which based on the limitations of the Mac Pro (Early 2008) causes overloading problems, which I resolve by splitting the NOTION score into a set of synchronized subscores to keep the total number of VSTi virtual instruments and effects plug-ins to a minimum, which in this case mapped to two subscores with five (5) virtual instruments in each subscore, where the first subscore had two MachFive 3 VSTi virtual instruments and the second subscore had one MachFive 3 virtual instrument.
I decided to revisit the mix for "Syrup", which was done several years ago when NOTION 4 was current, since there were some clicks and jumps in that earlier mix.
