I'm working on 3 separate projects in pt9, not identical but similar in content. 2 of them work fine but 1 of them crashes after a second of playing back. This seems to happen anywhere in the edit (if I click on playback elsewhere for example).
Anyone encountered this? quite hard to find the fault through google.
Thanks
Oh forgot to add that I open up an autosave backup and it works... until I save the project again and it fails. :(
Aside from Shaun's good advice, you may also have a corrupted fade or file (I've seen all sorts). If clearing Prefs etc. doesn't work try these:
First, try deleting the Fade Files for the session... PT will rebuild them. Corrupted Fade Files can cause all sorts of weirdness.
Second, try a "Save Session Copy In" with all audio files. If there's a weird filename (which can happen and wreak all sorts of havoc) it will tell you and rename the file properly.
Lastly, create a new session. Import tracks from the old session one at a time. Play your timeline. If it crashes right after importing a specific track, then something in that track is off, and it will be easier to find -either media or a specific plug-in could be the issue.
when in doubt: trash all preferences, repair disk permissions and restart.
another trick you can try is to make all tracks "inactive" (note that this is not a "voice" selection idea, you do this by right-clicking a track or through the track menu), play back for 10-15 seconds, then reactivate the tracks. 9 can encounter a memory caching problem, and this will sometimes clear it up.
What version are you on? I started to have a lot of crashes too when i updated to 9.05 Previous versions worked much better.
also tries to delete the folders "digidesign database"
Thanks for feedback, no luck with databse deleting sadly, I'm on an early version of PT9.
I get a DAE ERROR too... I suspect it could be fades and will try that, at present I'm just working of the most previous back up.
Thanks again
