Re: Pro Tools 2022.4 beach freeze occurs constantly
FWIW, I updated to OS 12.4 yesterday and have now experienced two full beachball-free days. I almost miss those little guys... I'm trying to think if I'd changed anything else but I don't believe so.
I'm relatively certain that one of yesterday's sessions had quite a lot of Spitfire instruments, the ones with their hosts -- not Kontakt. |

Re: Pro Tools 2022.4 beach freeze occurs constantly
I am experiencing the beach ball and PT not responding even with Import Audio functions. What is going on?

I now realize it does not affect me since I am on an Intel machine still SILLY ME-:). Works fine on the current Mac Pro I will replace later in the year if needed. G

Re: Pro Tools 2022.4 beach freeze occurs constantly
Hi, just wanted to chime in here -- I was having the exact same issue with getting the beachball-until-force-quit intermittently while trying to engage with MIDI clips from the Edit window. I couldn't figure out what was causing it.
I was using Kontakt 5 when this was happening. But yesterday I upgraded to Kontakt 6, and have not had the problem since. (I have Kontakt 6 in "open with Rosetta" mode) Hope this helps! Edit: to clarify: I haven't had this problem with sessions where I am only running Kontakt 6. But I still have to walk on eggshells with older sessions where I have a ton of Kontakt 5 instruments up. It seems that if I try to click-and-do-something quickly, the crashing happens much more frequently than if I click and then wait a sec before engaging. (still crashes sometimes even if I'm careful. The more MIDI instruments I have running, the worse it gets) This is my setup info: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021), Apple M1 Pro, 32 GB RAM, MacOS Monterey v12.3.1 Pro Tools 2022.4.0 UAD Apollo Twin X Quad interface |

I can add a couple of other considerations. Although you shouldn't assign VIs to an aux track, you can. As long as you have MIDI tracks routed to that instrument it will work. But this does seem to add fragility to the whole thing and increases the number of crashes. I found this in an old session that had been ported over time from DP to Logic to PT. Avid should either close the door on this loophole or make it work in a more robust way. There's yet another bit of cleanup that doesn't happen. This may be related to the crashing, but PT doesn't clean up after itself when you freeze/unfreeze VI tracks. Until this week I'd never looked in the Rendered Files folder of one session and I found large temporary files going back to 2018! They may have been left in there during crashes, but I'm not sure they all were. When you unfreeze a track (and to be safe, let's say you unfreeze and save), the render file should go away. But I found half a dozen render files for some tracks. This added up to several hundred megabytes of junk that was taking up space on my system. |

Re: Pro Tools 2022.4 beach freeze occurs constantly
Well I'm still laying low in 2021.12 waiting for the 2022.4 bloodshed to slow down. I use a lot of MIDI and Spitfire and will hold out until I see green lights on this front. I saw no mention of MIDI bug improvement in 2022.5. Please lettuce know how it goes and thanks.

Re: Pro Tools 2022.4 beach freeze occurs constantly
I'll need to revise my previous report. Today's session was riddled with beach balls. Lots of VIs. Kontakt, yep, but many others, too. I don't know exactly which is causing it, *if* it's the VIs, but those glorious, free-flowing days have their limits, apparently.
