jglover Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Anyone else having trouble with tracks unfreezing. I think it's happened for me since 10.2.something if not 10 and I just didn't notice it. It helps if I protect tracks but I've still had it happen. And possible triggers might be the plugin resetting bug or UAD plugs freezing and then I use the available dsp for more plugs. What initially made me notice it was out of nowhere a UAD window would pop up letting me know plugs had been disabled because I was using too many. I was only using too many because track were unfreezing. 10.12.3 iMac 27in Late 2013 3.5 GHz i7 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3 LPX 10.3.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wongsoaps Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hey, I was having the same issue earlier this year, and lost a lot of time (& probably some hair, as well...) on its account. Not sure if this is good or bad news, but: while I wasn't able to sort a 'cure,' I've learned a couple workarounds which, while a bit tedious, have been solid about avoiding the random thawing / unfreezing of tracks. The most frequent culprit, in my experience, is "COMMAND + Z," especially when your CPU / RAM is being slammed. Try to avoid using it, especially when a simple re-edit is a viable option. Another, more sinister wrinkle, at least for me, was having certain plugins revert back to factory default settings (as opposed to user default) upon said random unfreezings; this change would extend *retroactively*, overwriting saved settings without a trace. So, I've also gotten into the (admittedly tedious) habit of SAVING EVERYTHING as user-defined presets. Saving channel strips is often effective enough; but I also try & save individual plugins, too, if it's something that took awhile to get - like a bunch of eq curves or something. This has already saved my skin more than a couple of times. Sincerely hope at least some of this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wongsoaps Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Point of clarity re: lost plugin settings - this would happen to *unsaved settings* in previous, saved versions of the SESSION. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jglover Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks for that. The latter is pretty annoying to have to do.. but I guess if there is no other way for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
