SF10a freezing up with large files -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:SF10a freezing up with large files Posted by: wheat667 Date:12/16/2009 4:29:43 PM I'm having a problem where Paste-Mix and File Save result in a permanent "hourglass" state or a "Not Responding" state. These are large files (65+ minutes). I tried the Knowledge Base and those suggestions didn't work. I also emailed Sony tech support and got no response. If I break the file in 2 pieces, there are no such problems. Thanks for any help.

It's a big issue because I routinely process hour-long consultations with Sound Forge. Because of this, I have had to abandon using the batch converter, and now go through each of five steps individually, picking them from the menu. This doesn't occur with Sound Forge 9e on the same system. I also have opened a ticket with Sony, but they seem disinterested in investigating the issue. (No word from them in more than a week.) I am extremely disappointed with the degradation of Sony support over the past year.

It is particularly noticeable on the x64 flavors. If you are experiencing these problems, please take a look at the Performance tab in Windows Task Manager. My guess is that Physical Memory usage will be stuck on a very high percentage. If that is the case, the issue will be resolved in the next update. J.

Doing simultaneous normalization in SF on two or four files now occassionally freezes up Sound Forge with the hour glass and the normalization stops mid-way (this did not happen with the Intel dual core). I'm running XP 32-bit. I upped the voltage on my processor by about 10% and the problem has not happend since, although I haven't tested extensively. Obviously, I'd rather run at the spec'd voltage.
