Pro Tools has become a nightmare (Windows)
I really don't know what Mac users' experience currently is but on my Windows system, this DAW has become a nightmare.
There are a lot of random bugs, sometimes the playback won't work anymore and the worst bug I've had so far is when PT says it doesn't have enough CPU power to run (asks me to deactivate plugins) while the CPU meter in PT is peggin at 100% and my taskmanager is only reporting 2-3%. After closing and reopening Pro Tools it is gone. I'm really wondering where all the great improvements have gone to because if the DAW keeps working like this, I'll have to consider something like Studio One or Cubase. What still baffles me to this day is that many many changes you do within the DAW while editing a session are irreversible, like there is no editing history of it. In most other daws, you can reverse every change you've done. I just lose a lot of time on bugs and issues the DAW creates and nobody is paying me for that while I have to invest so much money every year on Ultimate to just get some small feature updates while so many things are left unattended. I feel like I'm wasting my money here and time increasingly. |

1-you have given essentially zero information on your setup, what you have tried and what's really wrong. 2-maybe Pro Tools isn't the right tool for you 3-I use PT on Windows 10 and rarely have any issues at all

Re: Pro Tools has become a nightmare (Windows)
Same here.
Make sure to: Update all plugs & device drivers to latest versions. Turn off all unnecessary Windows junk in settings. Uninstall bloatware. Disable all Win 10 unnecessary startup items. All AVID optimizations.

I have to say the same. No issues and running fine here. My system is super stable.

Re: Pro Tools has become a nightmare (Windows)
Hi on windows the thing is a little more "tricky" comparing to mac os but once is optimized there is no advantage one over the other imo, apart from self convinience adn personal liking. You might want to start by double check your Bios settings, Os optimizations, drivers up to date and that all plugins are compatible or up to date. Have the 2 OS here and each of them working perfect.

Re: Pro Tools has become a nightmare (Windows)
Not my case at all! it runs smoothly on a humble i5 6600k (large sessions for big bands)
The only bug you mention that I get (once a month) is the "no playback" thing.
