Session won't start when pressing the Play Icon or space bar
This has happened before and I have to restart my computer to get back to normal. When I try to start the session and press the space bar the transport just starts blinking and won't start. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance Newcens |

Re: Session won't start when pressing the Play Icon or space bar
For me, all I need to do is close Pro Tools and re-open. Never had to reboot Kind of tough to offer any advice when you give absolutely zero information on your setup

Thanks Dave, it is Dave right?
I'm running ProTools Version 2019.12.0 on a iMac (Retina 5K, 27 inch, Late 2015) Processor 3.2 GHz intel core i5 - 16 GB Ram Does that give you a better idea? Newcens (Roy) Most people still call me a Newcens |

Re: Session won't start when pressing the Play Icon or space bar
Have you checked your OS version against PT2019.12 in the compatibility chart? I suspect there are tons of iMacs in use so I don't see any hardware conflict(***unless you have a Fusion drive***). Bob and I are both on Windows so maybe some Mac users can add to the conversation

Re: Session won't start when pressing the Play Icon or space bar
Sounds like “wait for sync”

Re: Session won't start when pressing the Play Icon or space bar
That is certainly worth looking at(and I do, every time it happens). Sadly, that's never the issue for me

I Thought it might have been "Waiting for Sync" too, but after trying to disable that it still would not engage in play.

Re: Session won't start when pressing the Play Icon or space bar
What *exactly* is happening in the transport window? What buttons are illuminated and/or blinking at what colors? Describe any blinking pattern.
What happens when you test with Built-In Output? And after trashing pref? And with a new empty session? |
