Most of my errors are blue. But this one is RED! I have no idea what this means.
I'm on MB 32C V7.2.0 (I have more info if you need it) and most all that I use works ok.
But I have no idea what this error means. So I am reaching out to you folks to see what I need to FIX this.
---- ERROR = 2022-10-25T16:23:10 [ERROR]: Butler read ahead failure on dstream auditioner
NOTE: If you see the other noted attached errors and can help PLEASE assist!
Thanks ahead!

AFAIK butler is a framework for data management and is a part of the I/O and handling of audio files and or MIDI data.
I have seen that error a few times when micro looping or triggering playback a sample or two into the region.
As far as I am aware it indicates a one off event and is not really an issue.

Just an additional thought...
Could this be contributed or caused the the BLUE errors? (see attachment in OP)
Thanks again Chief! Big Grin

I am almost certain that this is a MIDI issue. I NEED help on how to hook up a MIDI controller keyboard to my SSL 2+ and the mixbus preferences. I think this will solve this issue.
BTW having a more powerful computer like an M1 with 8 or more CPU's and like 32GB of RAM would definitely resolve this issue. But I'm a retired guy in these days BARELY getting by on my fixed SS budget. Just my thoughts. Thanks ahead Chief, totally respect your help.

Assuming you have a 5pin MIDI device (keyboard, pad etc) plugged into the back of your SSL2+ ... OR a USB MIDI device (keyboard, pad etc) plugged in to your Mac...
In Applications / Other / Audio MIDI setup you should be able to see your MIDI device.....
   
Then follow the steps outlined https://rsrc.harrisonconsoles.com/mixbus...rding-midi

OK the keyboard is connected by the MIDI in/out on the SSL, plus I also have it plugged in the USB. Is that ok? OR should I go with one or the other?

It's a total guess but maybe try increasing your audio buffer size temporarily and see if the errors go away.

Even in V9 I am getting these Butler read errors. However in V9 it's pointing to a reference track. Dingo say's it's not a big deal and I have all green on everything else. Going to speak to Harrison about this as I LOVE a GREEN error log! Thanks to all who helped! Big Grin
