Re: Not answering
Windows 10 will show floppy drives like the attached screenshot. Click the Disable button for each that show up. If none show up then its not the floppy drive issue and we'll think what else it can be.

Re: Not answering
If the floppy is not it, one thing that may help is to get a Sandra report from your systems. Look for the Sandra information under the Windows General Troubleshooting link under "Help Us help you" up the top of this DUC web page.
Copy and paste the text output of the Sandra report (not a screenshot), it should look similar to the one here: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=269583 -- BScout may have better ideas. I'm guessing he might have wanted to check you have an ASIO interface (you do, so great). But never assume Pro Tools has started up witt the correct interface. Open the Playback Engine dialog and check. Sometimes screwed up playback engines esp. ASIO4ALL drivers can cause weird hangs etc. Just on that line of thought, and not that it should cause these problems, make sure Windows Sound and no other applications are trying to use the Apollo Twin, they should all be set to use the computers build-in audio. You'll likely be removing all plugin files, trashing prefs again, checking Windows Event Viewer and other things if you still gave this behavior. |

PT always open up with the correct sound engine if i turn the interface on before launching PT , so that shouldn´t be an issue. I´m looking in to the Sandra thing. |

Re: Not answering
Can my problem be related to my plug-ins in any way? I run the program now and it seems to work just fine. It hasn´t stopped/frozen at loading tracks or shut down when changing value in GUI or even when just opening a plug-in. I´m asking about plug-ins because the PSP audioware nexcellence and Springbox are the one´s i´m often using when the issue with shut down when turning knobs in GUI. From PSPs side they only tell me to reinstall and i´ve done so plenty of times. Right now i´m trying nexcellence out and it work as it should.
Closed session and PT and tried launching a the same session again and it freezes/doesn´t answer at restoring track. It´s not even the same track it stops at when restoring, seems random. What could be the issue? |

Re: Not answering
You do not have any floppy drives. That would have been too easy. :-(
Thanks for the Sandra report, I do not see anything that looks like a problem. Yes plugins can cause just about anything. You might also have a corrupted session. Or it could be other stuff. Lets test for plugins first The quick test for plugins is to remove *all* .aaxplugin files from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins. Just move them out of there to anywhere else. The Unused Plugin folder is a handy place for that. Then trash prefs. Start Pro Tools and it will magically put back the default plugins. See now if any of your sessions, including the ones that behaved badly before. (this also specifically gets all your UAD plugins out of Pro Tools... you want to try that). Obviously the actual third party plugins will then be disabled, but this is still a very useful test. If you do not see problems you can move back some of your suspect third party plugins into that plugin folder, start Pro Tools, and see if the problem reappears. If you see problems with only the standard plugins installed then leave all the third party ones uninstalled and keep going.... If that is not it. Try making Pro Tools as easy to run as posible, in the playback engine settings set the playback buffer a large as you can, uncheck "ignore errors" (we want Pro Tools to tell you if it has problems), check "dynamic plugin processing" and set the disk cache to a nice number, say 8GB (you have so much memory...). If that is not it I would next check the full optimization again. But I'd leave hyper-threading enabled. Turn off WiFi and bluetooth (if you have wired mice and keyboard), and all networking (if you are not relying on cloud iLok) I would also physically unplug every external device possible, control surfaces, USB hubs, Ethernet cables, etc., and just leave the keyboard, mouse, interface, iLok, and one monitor. And I would make sure no other applications are running, no web browsers, no desktop search/indexing software, and definitely no anti-virus software, fully disable all Antivirus software, including from Microsoft. If you are not sure how to disable it uninstall it. --- --- BTW with such a nice computer the only things I might upgrade in future is use a higher end-GPU than the NVS-310, especially to support more display resolution. And maybe use M.2 PCIe SSDs especially since you have PCIe 3 slots... but it takes a bit of care to get compatible NVMe drives/boot support. But none of that that is not going to cause things like you are seeing. Last edited by Darryl Ramm; 05-25-2019 at 01:04 PM. |

Re: Not answering
Just wanna flag one thing here, PSP has been an issue here too with both Sierra and the following update to High Sierra.
We had bought a bunch of them and unknowkngly installed them and forgot a out them. I noticed this issue after a few weird things last year on one of our Trashcans here with 12cores and 64GB ram all SSD’s which should be awesome but had some bad behavior. I trashed all the PSP plugins and vóila! No more strangeness so follow Darryls steps and advice with moving them out of the AAX folder as they cause havoc by just beeing installed, not just when instantiatedz And furthermore as Darryl pointed out turn off any cloud stuff as it seem like many have problems with dropped sessions and hanging of sessions etc when connected and using Cloud Collab unfortunately. Use the save function for the local drives only so you are 100% sure that internet is not interfering with your sessions. NY1 want some PSP plugins we will never install them again. Not that great either so no loss ... except the monetary outlay but I value my time more !
