I am noticing that some files, old ones and even files made WITH 9.02. take a long time to load. When I look into WHY, it seems there is tons of background processing to be done.
Something in 9.02 seems to be needing to do a lot of this background processing. Looks like it is finding beats. But the “beats” were already supposedly found in earlier sessions with these files.
Anyone else seen this phenomenon?

Re: 9.02 Background processing taking long time
Does this happen every time the project loads or only the first time?
There are a number of background processing preferences. I have checked, Only look for beats automatically in newly created projects

Re: 9.02 Background processing taking long time
Even prior to 9.02 I was seeing sample rate errors, where DP would be flashing 44.1 when I loaded certain projects (I'm always in 48k). I select 48 and I'm done and I hadn't seen that much before now. I wonder if there is a conversion going on somewhere? I'll check my background processing next time it happens. I don't see any slowdown. I'm running the latest trash can so if there was a conversion going on in the background, I probably wouldn't see a slowdown in performance.

Re: 9.02 Background processing taking long time
I noticed this (excessive background processing) the first time I opened an old project created in version 5.something. Subsequent openings opened normally. I'm guessing some things are handled differently and once you open and save, all is up to date and snappy. But, like I said, I'm guessing.

Re: 9.02 Background processing taking long time
FWIW, I have seen this in projects where I have soundbites in the SoundBite view that are not being used. It seems that every time the project loads, DP reexamines those unused SoundBites.
