DP4.51 temporarily unresponsive after stopping recording

[Solal]

In 'background Pref" try uncheck "Analyse...as soon as possible". Also uncheck "Automatic beat detect". This helped me: I had the same problem and it disappears.

You said that when you're working on a newfile the problem don't occur right ? So maybe a "save a copy" may help... or better a "create new" then "load" (to import your session + soundbites etc...) .

FWIW - That's what I used under OS9 when a DP session were "corupted"
Good luck

Didn't help either... I am a very, very, very dissapointed DP user.

Hello

i have the same problem.
when i record, then hit stop, then hit play, i got the rainbow of hell.

here's my setup :

G4 sawtooth upgraded 1 ghz (encore/st upgrade card)
1 go RAM
2 HDs : 20go (original guessed to be around 5000 rpm) + 120go (7200 rpm 8mo)
- both DP 4.5 and my audio files are on the same 120 GO HD. will i see better performance by moving DP 4.5 to the small & slower HD ? -
Geforce 32 mo card (Quartz Extreme compatible)
Display colors set to "thousands" (16 bit)
M-Audio Delta 1010LT (cheap card but clean sound and never gave me a single problem)
OS 10.3.7
DP 4.5

I'm working at 16 bit 44 khz

HARDWARE
--------
buffer size : 1024
host buffer multiplier : 1 (don't know what this option is anyway)
Work priority : high

SETTINGS
--------
Voices : mono = 0 / stereo = 12 (enough for me)
Stereo buses = 4
Disk r/w size = 300 kbytes
Buffer size per voice = 300 000 samples
Automatic plugin latency compensation = on
Pre-fil blablabla = on

automatic beat detection = off

thanks for any help

One thing I noticed that really helped a similar issue was to limit the number of tracks in the project to only what I needed at the time. I had a template with 32 mono tracks and I was only using 8 so far and it would act up. If I added a track or two as needed it reacted alot better. Worth a shot if not, sorry I can't help.

your Problem is with 10.3.7.Go to Apples web site and download
10.3.6 combo and install it that should fix your problem

I'm seeing the delay too. I'm wondering if it's bus related. Pascal Altena, do you have a very elaborate send/bus system in your files? Do you use a Master Bus as I do? - that's where all tracks are bussed to one Aux for recording (not to be confused w a Master Fader).

[Pasz]

Nope, no elaborate bussing. I'll try reducing the tracks in the studio setup, and if that shouldn't work going back to 10.3.6, later this day!

[Pasz]

Reducing tracks didn't help. Going back from 10.3.7 to 10.3.6 actually means reinstalling the whole computer it seems. Or am i wrong?

For what it's worth, I had this problem, the 30 sec. to 2 minute beach ball hang when I got 4.5.

I got it when arming an audio track, hitting record, stopping record, etc...

4.51 solved it for me. Strange that 4.51 is the cause in this case.

I think this is a different phenomena. The beach ball while arming tracks etc. WAS buss related. 4.51 fixed this for me too.

Mysteriously, while I *was* getting the same post-record delay as Pascal, I'm not today (?). ...dunno wh'apend.

[jackorhythm]

i found the fix.....

i uninstalled 4.5+4.51 and went back to 4.12. i'll wait for 4.52 to fix this obvious defect.

surefire.

[dix]

jackorythm. Don't know what your setup is, but 4.5 should be ok. It was the most stable version of DP I've ever run. I was among the first to receive it and and did not have a single crash (8-14 hour days!) and had nothing but improved latency issues.

[Morpheo]

I have the same problem. The most efficient solution for me is to "select unused soundbites", remove from list, and keep the soundbites window CLOSED, unless I need it of course.

???? I have no idea why this works, but it does. kinda reminds me of ProTools (which I haven't used for a long time btw), slowing down with too many sound files....... I hope MOTU will fix this "annoyance" in the next update, 4.12 was fine. And it happened with 4.5 as well, not just 4.51...
