Re: Blinking STOP/PLAY transport buttons PLAYBACK ISSUE
With me it never went away... PT9.03 with CMPT on Snow Leopard.
Good to stumble upon this tread (searching for something entirely different) to notice I'm not alone on this. |

Re: Blinking STOP/PLAY transport buttons PLAYBACK ISSUE
Fun new twist to my version of the issue (whatever it actually is): If I try and do two bounces in a row, without touching the playback options, PT freezes. Hard. My guess is because it's in bounce mode and trying to play, but never gets the CPU error (I have RTAS error reporting turned off), so it just locks up waiting for the playhead to start, but never throwing an error.

Re: Blinking STOP/PLAY transport buttons PLAYBACK ISSUE
I know the answer. Very simple. Make sure the viewing window is fully within the framing of the screen. If it's the slightest bit hidden by the border, the annoying blink will continue. |

Re: Blinking STOP/PLAY transport buttons PLAYBACK ISSUE
Wow, I get this bug in PT11 on Windows (and PT10). It's actually been in every version I've tried since early 2012.
I don't think the PT version I ran in 2010 had this issue (can't remember version #), and I didn't record in 2011. So I was pretty not-happy after spending more cash on PT plugs and mBox only to have this issue crop up. My workaround sucks, I sometimes have to reboot my mBox sound card & PC about 4 times in a row. I never had this many issues with Ableton Live, actually zero issues with Ableton except I don't like it's mixer, but no bugs like this. It happened again this weekend ONLY recording MIDI files, when using Virtual Instruments. I thought my new SSD would maybe help (shot in the dark), but no. I thought spending $2K on a Mac would fix this, but apparently from what other posters say they have same play not working issues on Mac's too. You can't adjust the buffer size in PT11, only from the sound card applet, so not sure if that will help... I'll have to experiment... although a fix would be best. Running v11.0.1 on Win 7 Home x64. |

Re: Blinking STOP/PLAY transport buttons PLAYBACK ISSUE
I had this one yesterday, it turned out to be related to updating Kontact. This was on my travel startup disc, samples were on my recording drive, probably an issue. Anyway, removing Kontact cleared things up.
Best...H |

Re: Blinking STOP/PLAY transport buttons PLAYBACK ISSUE
It has hit me today. Using very few plugs, one is Kontakt. It didn’t show up until two hours into the session, then, despite re-booting, it was present in every project file I opened, with or with out any plugs. Wouldn't even roll on a brand new project with no plug-ins. Happened about 6 mos. ago, and got out of it by randomly clicking the edit option buttons. That didn’t work today, though, and now I’m trying to reinstall. A colossal PIA.

Re: Blinking STOP/PLAY transport buttons PLAYBACK ISSUE
I have a possible solution. After reading posts in this thread, I noticed a re-curring situation: in many instances, the problem arose when the sample count had been increased. I realized I had done the same thing. Logic: if a little is good a lot should be great. Using a UA Apollo Quad, I increased samples from 512 (1/2k) to 4k. Though I usually operate at 2k, the logic got me. PT12 with my hardware is overwhelmed at 4k. So it won’t play. Nada. Zilch. Nothing.
Before I came on to this, though, I uninstalled and re-installed overnite. Made no difference. But dropping the samples down to a reasonable number, everybody’s happy. |
