PT8 with Native Instruments Kore Player - problematic

[Onager1286]

Hey guys,

I recently got Komplete 7 Elements and recently when trying to reopen a session I'd started, Pro Tools 8 would just completely freeze when activating the inserts. As it turns out, it really seems that the Kore Player that I was using as an insert is the problem (as I've read on another forum too). Does anyone else have this problem? It's really irritating and furthers my hatred of the Pro Tools/ Windows combination. This problem is nonexistent in OS X. Just as a side note, Pro Tools also ALWAYS starts up incredibly slowly on Windows (7 x64 if you're wondering) compared to the same exact install, with the same exact plugins on OS X Snow Leopard. It's infuriating because my Windows machine is much more powerful and also upgradable... my Macbook Pro is not obviously, nor is any Mac.

Anyway. My main concern right now is the (alleged) Kore incompatibility. I'd like to give you a Sandra report, but I'm not sure what test to run that will give you the info you need. Thanks for your help!

Help pretty please? :)

Check that it's updated.
when opening the session hold Shift to disable all plugins. That can really help with the big sessions that don't want to load right.

[Onager1286]

Thanks for the suggestion. However, it's fully updated. Also, I did hold Shift and it disabled them... but that cannot seriously be what I have to do every time...? This was a simple session, and even then I had at least a dozen inserts (reverb, EQ, Kore, etc). Reactivating them is not something that I should have to do every time I want to repoen a session.

Yeah whenever I open up kore on pt8, pt stops playing.

I run Koreplayer 2.1.2 on my q6600 XP pro PT/MP 8.0.4 and 3 CPU for RTAS with no problems.

Dang really? Can someone tell me how to configure a Sandra Report so I can at least list my specs? Thanks again!

Have you done all the optimizations for Win 7 from the General Troubleshooting thread? Especially the 'run as administrator' one?

[Onager1286]

I have not, but I'll get back to you when I do. Why is it such a headache to configure this on Windows though? I used to think it was a bunch of crap when people said Macs are better for music creation, just ill-informed Apple sheep. But I gotta say, it does just work right with Pro Tools, no fiddling around necessary for the most part.

I feel like I'm the only one who notices the huge difference between platforms with the way Pro Tools behaves... or am I? Anyway thanks for the help, it's really appreciated. I'll get back to you guys when I run through some of these optimizations!

I have the same problem and it's doing my head in. It only happens when opening a saved session containing any of the Komplete 7 Elements plugins.

I'm running W7 32bit. I would really love a fix on this

It says AppCrash in module DAE.dll
