DP 9.52 Freeze on Snip

[Mettius]

Hi everybody,

I use DP 9.52 to edit audiobooks. When I start the editing (usually with one track) I do strip silence for the entire track for cut any silence, crackle and breath, then I separate the track in thousands of sections. In case the speaker make a mistake i use the SNIP function (cmd - j) to drag the entire recorded to correct the mistake. Well. When i use the snip function DP freeze for 20/30 seconds (it depends on the length of the track), the playback stop and i can’t do nothing. I’m forced to stop the playback, do the command and restart the playback, but if i’m wrong i waste my time. I tried different versions of DP9 and this issue affect DP since the 9.51. I’ve an older macbook pro (mid 2009 - mountain lion) runs DP 9.13 and it doesn’t happen.
The same happens when i save a session while playback.
In editing i don’t use plug in, the sample rate is 44.100 khz at 24 bit. Buffer size 1024/2048.

I use macbook pro 15" mid 2015 - 2,2ghz - 16 gb ram - os x 10.13.6

Sorry for my english, I hope I was clear.

Thanks for your help

I've noticed if I do a snip to a long recording in the audio editor, it takes some time because it is re-writing the whole audio file, (and writing an undo file, I'm guessing). I would think if you were editing in the tracks window and only dealing with snips that create new versions of soundbites, it shouldn't be sluggish.

Call me superstitious, but because of my experiences of instability in DP, I don't do snip commands during playback, and I don't do saves during playback either. Those are habits that are born out of painful lessons.

Still, I'd rather edit long voice-over files in DP than any other software I have.

Thanks for the reply,

I check, but dp doesn't create new soundbites...

Why in the previous version this doesn't happen? The problem is not the machine or the hard drive. I try to update my old machine, the same. If I return to DP 9.13 it was fluid.
Is this a bug or a wrong set up in the preferences?
No more update until DP10?

I can't edit in the tracks window, too small, no fade, and slugged too.

You're not superstitious, with big project maybe crash, but I use snip/save in playback for 2/3 years and it was ok.

Someone can help me?
