Mac Beach Ball when Offline Bouncing

[its2loud]

Wondering if anyone might know why I'm getting the spinning beach ball when offline bouncing the same session on different systems.

Same plugs, same processors, same ram. Just one machine beach balls and the other doesn't.

It doesn't even matter what the length is. Could be 2 minutes, could be 30

PT 2018.4

I probably know but haven't got time or feel like guessing due to the fact that the only thing we know is you have a "Mac" and PT 2018.4 ... It could be 25 things or one easy fix!

What more do you need to know?
2 identical systems running same versions of all software. Same types of hard drives, same amount of ram. One bounces fine, the other gets the beach ball.

Either you’ve experienced beach balling when bouncing or you havent. If you have, all I’m asking is what did you do to fix it?

Like Christopher said we can't give you an answer until we get more info on the systems you're working with. They might be identical but at the same time they could also be marginal in working with PT.

Are you really sure they're identical? Same stuff running at the same time on both machines? Same session on both machines?
