Can't play a file

[bannerj]

DP 7.24 here

I've been saving multiple mixes of the same project. I can't open any of them. It'll roll for a bit and then the wheel comes out...(app not responding).

I can play other projects/mixes but not this one.

Very important song and I can't lose all that work.

How do I get it to play?

Any number of things could be the reason for this problem, but the most likely is a troubled plug-in. A corrupt soundbite is also quite possible.

First things, if you haven't already, make sure you restart your Mac. That can quickly make a lot of problems go away.

Try loading the problem sequence and its files and settings into another fresh project (File > Load). Look to the manual for particulars on using the Load command.

If it doesn't work, use Load as a troubleshooting tool to narrow down the problem by loading or not loading certain things.

I've had a few times when it took three or four crashes using Load before it finally broke through whatever was making it crash and it worked.

Good luck.

Got it!

I disabled all tracks in tracks window. Hit play and then enabled each track while project played. Intermittently hit save. Was waiting for a track to crash the project, but it didn't happen.

Thanks
