Windows 7 Pro Tools 9 (not responding)
In windows 7 I have multiple applications open including PT9. When I switch away from PT9 for a few minutes the switch back, PT9 hangs with the application title bar showing (not responding) for about 10 seconds. Eventually after a few seconds PT9 starts working again. I'd just like to speed up my workflow so I'm looking for some tips to help correct this. Thanks !

Re: Windows 7 Pro Tools 9 (not responding)
More RAM might do it. I get permanent freeze if I switch apps while bouncing, then try to cancel the bounce. Nothing to do but reboot.

Re: Windows 7 Pro Tools 9 (not responding)
Probably caused by the Aero theme - I went to a basic theme to avoid this. BTW - not really a good idea to run other apps during a bounce.

Re: Windows 7 Pro Tools 9 (not responding)
Thanks for the tip about Aero. I'll check into that. As long as a session is not taxing the system much, it's no problem running most programs in the background on a multi-core machine. At my day job, I often have sessions consisting of a single mono or stereo track with a couple light plugs on it bouncing down for 20-70 minutes. I can surf the web all I want meanwhile - that's most of my DUC time! And that's on a G5 PPC dual core running 7.3.1. Today I'm home on my much more powerful Win7 machine with 9.0.1, and I can't DUC during a bounce? Oy. Well, I can, but if I hear something that needs to be fixed, I can't cancel.

Re: Windows 7 Pro Tools 9 (not responding)
Keeping clients happy is the main goal here. So that being the case, I never allow any online activity, any other open apps (other than ReWired), nor Windows Aero to exist while Pro Tools is running. These simple rules (along with all of the suggested optimizations) have kept PT as smooth as silk for us.

Re: Windows 7 Pro Tools 9 (not responding)
Turning off Aero fixed it for me. Haven't had a lick of trouble since.
I usually mix to a track when going for the final mixes of a song or project. But probably 90% of my mixes are for reference or rehearsal - all that's needed is an mp3 to dropbox to people. In those cases, bounce saves a great deal of time and mouse clicks.
