Yes, I've spent weeks with tech support sending me on a goose chase, they can't solve it. I started files from scratch many times, cleaned out everything. Bought a new computer, different OS. Same constant crashing.
And when I disable human playback, tempo markings are not respected. That at least worked in 14.5.
Or is it just me? | | Back to Top | |

That was fixed in 2014.5 so we need more info.

You probably tried this, but just in case: Go into Device Setup > Audio Setup and ensure that the audio driver is set to DirectSound.

| Posted 9/7/2016 2:10 PM (GMT -6) | | Thanks everyone!
Realizing I am the only one here with these problems I went through some significant trouble shooting. In 14.5 no matter how many times I redid a document from scratch there seemed to always be something corrupting my files. I entered elements little by little, trying to isolate an articulation or an expression or a gliss or font or something, and could never find the problem. Maybe it had to do with tempo changes. But starting from scratch in v 25 helped. I erased all my tempo markings and tempo changes in the expressions list and copied all the entries into a fresh document, and then manually adding fresh tempo changes. So far, so good, but of course I have lost all the page layout tweeking in all the parts (it's a lengthy symphonic work, so that's a bummer, but I'm doing a major revision, so so be it.)
So, I've fixed playback for this piece. We'll see how it goes with other documents.
My two computers are MacBook pro (2013) w Mavericks, and a new Imac 2015 w El Capitan. Sounds are all Garritan libraries. Nothing weird installed on any of the computers, plenty of memory and disk space.
I must say, now that it works for me, now it REALLY works! So I'll have to take back my topic "disappointed" to "happy camper".
But I can't upgrade my laptop to El Capitan to be able to run v25 because the version of ProTools I'm running is not officially compatible. I just installed ProTools 11 on the El Capitan computer anyhow, and even though it's incompatible, it seems to work OK, but I haven't tried it with large files yet.
How well does it work to bring documents back and forth between 14.5 and v 25? Other than mirroring and tempo tool data, that I now have eliminated, the files are compatible, as far as I understand. I'm testing going back and forth right now.
Again, thanks a lot for your help! | | Back to Top | |

| Posted 9/7/2016 3:37 PM (GMT -6) | | If you revert back to 2014.5, trashing the Preferences may be all that's required. 2014.5 and 25 do not share the same Preferences file.
25 is good for many but, if you hit one of the bugs that requires you to open a file in 2014.5 to get something done, this may be an issue.

| Posted 10/15/2016 2:35 PM (GMT -6) | | | Ok, after using the demo for a few weeks I decide to plunge and pay for the upgrade. Now I'm getting constant crashes again. I mean constant as in EVERY time I try to play back with human playback. I've started files from scratch over and over again. How do I post a crash log, please? | | Back to Top | |
