Re: slow session launch/start ups 10-15 mins
I would also turnoff spotlight indexing. I know you sent the drives to private, but i would go further and turn it off.

Re: slow session launch/start ups 10-15 mins
This is the way to actually turn off Spotlight.
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist You will delete the .plist files or actually move them to a backup drive off the computer and reboot the computer. This way the cpu wont cycle through all the time on any drive what so ever.

Re: slow session launch/start ups 10-15 Min's
well...i don't know about quick...it probably takes about 1 Min to 2 mins. thats with no plug-ins in the plug-in folder. that seems a little long for an 8 core with 8 gigs of ram.
my mac pro 4 core at work takes about 20 sec with waves gold bundle installed. but i can live with that...if the sessions would only load quickly.

Re: slow session launch/start ups 10-15 mins
I hate to say this but sometimes it has to be a full reinstall of the O.S. and PT. That being said when PT loads do you notice any specific plugins loading for a long time and are they the same plugins you use on your session that takes 10 to 15 mins to load? The reason why I mention about a complete reinstall is because I have been through this in the years past and I realize that the time it takes to trouble shoot the problem, you can use that time to simply start over and reinstall fresh.

Re: slow session launch/start ups 10-15 mins
i'm afraid you maybe right...when i start pro tools it doesn't seem to hang on any plug-ins loading...infact i've moved all the plug-ins from the "plug-in folder" to the "unused plug-i folder". but when i start a session, it seem to hang (or take a long time 3-4 mins) on "building edit window" then it go's on to "building mix window" for another 3-4 mins, then "building transport window" for another 3-4 mins. it does it every time.

Re: slow session launch/start ups 10-15 mins
Problem Resolved!!!
i did a clean install on the OS and reinstalled pro tools and pro tools starts FAST! the program and the sessions start fast, everything is fine. i also did not install the "additional software DVD that came with the Mac Pro...like garage band...i'm not sure what else is on the dvd...and i made sure this time that the automatic updater on the mac was turned off so no updates have been installed at this time. i hope this helps someone...this took me a week to troubleshoot. thanks,

Re: slow session launch/start ups 10-15 mins
I started to get all the problems in these posts when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I also lost the presets to the standard PT FX - so I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a path issue between PT and 10.6.x

Re: slow session launch/start ups 10-15 mins
OK OK!
so I found a solution!! and I'm hoping it works for everyone! I previously deleted all databases, trashed prefs, re-installed pt, tried to open on a separate drive, spotlight privacy, etc. etc. and still pro tools was taking about 10 minutes to load up. I then went into the folder Applications>Digidesign>Pro Tools and TRASHED the folder called Log Files. Since doing this I haven't had any problems and pro tools has been opening extremely quickly! I really hope this works for everyone, this has been such a frustrating experience |
