Subject:Acid Hangs When Loading a EastWest VSTi
Posted by: raskiefilm

I'm using the latest version of Acid 7.0. I can start a project and load multiple VSTi's. I can render the project. I can save th project. The trouble occurs when close the project and open it later (or the next day, or the next minute) that the project hangs when loading the EastWest VSTi's. I can kill the program. Relaunch. And then open up another Acid project that has only wavs in it. It opens fine. It's just having a problem (hangin) loading the EastWest VSTi's from a saved file. Very very frustrating.

Please advise.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

System:
Vista Ultimate 64-bit
3.0 Core Duo 2
8 GBs RAM
E-MU Soundcard

My guess is that AP is taking a long time loading soundfiles in your multiple VST's.
But I only say that because of the delays I have when opening projects in which I have used Garritan Aria. If I use 8 or 10 samples in that baby, all my ram is gone, and nothing happens quickly anymore.
Is AP just sitting there doing nothing? Or is it still working?

The East West instruments you're having a problem with - are these the Play engine versions that use the dongle? In another forum I hang out in a person had/has a problem with those plugins that use the dongle. Turns out the dongle was the problem.

@ runman

Acid just sits there doing nothing - actually waiting for the VSTi's to open.

@ jackn2mpu

That is correct - it is the Play engine versions that use the dongle. Seems that the older EW instruments will load. Is there more information I can find out as to why it would be the dongle?

Thanks,
Jason

Please fill out your system specs in your profile and mark them as visible.

Does any other VSTi causes this problem for you?

Does the problem occur on a 32 bit OS?

@ Peter

As far as I am aware, any other VSTi does not cause this problem.

I have only installed the play engine on the 64-bit version of Vista.
