Pro Tools Has Been Kicking My Ass For The Past 3 yrs. HELP!

[Vyndetta]

Ok I'm Vyndetta a hip hop artist/model/self producer/self pormoter and working on my own clothing line. I have been working with pro tools going on 4 years this December and still cannot figure out why I have sessions crash on me. I'm not trained in any fashion but hands on but a bit of a computer dork so i usually figure it out except this anyways.

I have a custom built PC That i built with all the components just to purely run Pro Tools LE. well now i have just upgraded to 8.0 recently and still the save issues.

The issue is this: I try to open old or new sessions and they get to either building the edit menu or overviews and then freeze....???? It could be a track from 1998 or a track from yesterday that i just did. the re open is not suppose to be this damn hard is it?


Help!!!!

Welcome to the forum.

What OS are you running ?

Does it happen every time you try to load a session, or is it intermittent ?

You might want to try and start a session from scratch and save/reload at each stage.
Adding audio/midi tracks, plugins, etc and see if you can narrow down at what point it starts to freeze.

i will try those general trouble shooting tips and as for the freezing it happens with certain ones and and i have tried importing each track into a brand new session and when i load it up it still freezes. i am using windows xp 32bit pro

Sell your PC, buy a MAC... Sorted...

It's almost that simple.
Too bad AVID is behind on getting PT working with Snow Leopard.

It can't come soon enough, they're already two months behind the competition. Same with Windows 7.
