S4 Freezes Preview mode
Hey all,
S4_4-16 with knob module, panner, 3 displays. 2022.4 with PT 2022.4. Anytime entering preview mode the console freezes and I have to force quit WS control to get it back online. If I go into preview mode from the automation window within PT the same thing happens.. Everything freezes on the console but the MTM? Any ideas? Thanks! |

Re: S4 Freezes Preview mode
Hey.. can provide more info as it’s happened again.
With notifications on, the second I drop into preview mode I get this on the Mac: thread EC-<computer name>.Protools22Mac.79918 has stopped functioning with error: vector. please restart ws control. S4 is directly into Mac. WiFi is off. No other network ports in use. Again only when going into preview. From either Mac or s4. |

Re: S4 Freezes Preview mode
Greetings,
Please indicate macOS version and computer type / year. Also - have you tried clean uninstall and reinstall of WSControl? What is the history of the issue - ie - when did the issue start, when did it not occur. best, Jeff |

Re: S4 Freezes Preview mode
Just wanted to update this thread.
Was speaking to Jeff outside of the forum, and had narrowed it down to everytime a plugin was manually selected from ProTools with the mouse, this would happen. Preview, then clicked the Q10, and boom freeze. Any plug in would do this. For the remainder of the mix, I just didn't touch PT which was great for forcing me to commit to the new workflow lol (recently switched after 10+yrs on Icon). However, just loaded up a different film from our other room, with the title file from the other S4, and no issues there, could click on anything. Looks like a one off corruption in the session / title file. |

Re: S4 Freezes Preview mode
This could be an old Waves Waveshell that is causing an issue. Waveshell version 10 gave me all sorts of problems. Updating to the latest Waveshell fixed all issues.

Re: S4 Freezes Preview mode
Hey there..
What I ended up doing for that mix was not clicking on any plugin in protools and just using the console. If your in a pinch with clients as I was and had no time to trouble shoot that day: If you’re on a Mac, allow ws control to show notifications and everytime you click on an insert in PT you’ll get the error code, or the disconnects. A quick fix is to use activity viewer to force quit WS, then re load it and the s4 may or may not come back on. If not full reboot. Otherwise just don’t click on an insert and just use the console. In the end I tried reimporting the mix into another PT session and that didn’t work. I took a title file for a different film from our s4 upstairs and loaded it, re-setup and re imported everything from that title file and it worked. Anytime that first project is opened with that first title file it crashes, but every other project is fine. This was the first film we had ever done with this console and I believe the template was setup with the console on 2022.4 and PT on 2021.9. The title file from the room upstairs was 2021.9 - so this May of been the problem.. now everything is latest and greatest and no issues. I wasn’t there when the console was installed so didn’t catch the mismatch until later. But once that title file is corrupt it will cause issues. We’re using waves 14 at the time so not sure if that played an issue. I know my post doesn’t pin point anything but it is literally how we solved it. Best of luck. |
