Default 2022.5 Import Audio INCREDIBLY slow!!

Anyone else having this issue? I'm importing 44.1k files into a 44.8 session. Conversion is on. Before this took seconds for a 2 minute file. Now it's taking several minutes!!!

I've noticed it. I didn't post about it in here because I didn't do any objective comparisons, but regular SR conversions do feel slower, like you said, and conversions from mp3 to wav feel WAY slower. I've noticed it for a few versions, not sure when exactly it started on my end. Maybe 2021.6 or .10?

Same issue here in recent PT versions. Takes an age for the average MP3 or WAV file.

Count me in on this. These import times are absolutely unmanageable. Anyone made any headway?

Importing a mp3 takes a long time! What’s going on?

Yep, been an issue for the past year or so - since whenever they "updated" the Import Audio window. It generally works for a small number of files, but larger batches can take forever to import. I don't even use Import Audio anymore - I just drag the files to the Clips Bin - which has its own various levels of success. You would think that being able to import audio into a DAW would be a pretty important feature, but as much as I've complained and begged, it never got fixed and I've given up hope it ever will be.

I'll give that a try next time. How do the files appear on the timeline? Are the waveforms calculated? I assumed a good part of the time spent analysing on import was for calculating the waveform?

Dragging to Clips makes no difference here. I still get Drag from Browser and slow progress in the Task Manager.

Odd, I am not getting the slow MP3 or wave import on 2022.5. I DID get it on 2022.4. 2 different systems. One running Big Sur and another Monterey.
Monterey system is PT Ultimate 2022.5 even.
