Logic suddenly takes considerably longer to open a file...?

I have a 30 minute file considering of 4 tracks, 1 stereo backing (continuous 30 min audio file) (out 3-4), 1 mono bass (continuous 30 min audio file) (out 2), 1 click (audio instrument) (out 1) and an EXS24 Channel (out 3-4) with automated program changes.
Also in this file is a detailed sequence of time signature changes and tempo changes.
The audio files are located in the same folder as the logic file. Up till now logic quickly opened the file in about 1-2 minutes. However recently i made some changes and extensively cut up the audio and used the snip feature to delete certain bars and pull all the automation data back. Subsequently I bounced down all the audio again, once all the cuts were made, to make continuous audio file.
Now when I load the file (which basically consists of the same setup as previsouly) it takes 5-10 mins - this is a bit crap, considering the time it took before and the setup in a gig.
I have deleted all unsused audio files from the audio window. Could it be possible that logic still has a memory of all the cuts i did previsouly and even though they are not been used any more in the project it still loads all of this information, when I load the file. I am sure whatever information is delaying the file opening is not needed, I just to find it and get rid!
Sorry for the long post, hopefully it makes sense.
Much thanks - please some one help (gig tomorrow!)
Cheers,

After looking at project manager I relaised that the particular file wasn't saved as a project an was looking for date from other sessions. I saved as a new project adn copied relevent files. it now works! great! Cheers

    That would be due to your network.
    Some common things to check
    Current connection, use speedtest.net
    Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of your network, it will help see if there's interference.
    On Apple TV go to settings - general - network. Make sure DNS is set to automatic.

  • Logic Pro takes incredibly long time to start

    Dear forums
    I noticed not long ago that Logic Pro takes an incredibly long time to start. I know I have quite a number of plugins installed and I guess it's going through the plugin folder to initialize all of them and look for new ones. Fair enough.
    But it takes 2 minutes to finally show a splash screen and after 2 minutes and 20 seconds I can finally start using Logic Pro. Is that normal or am I the only one?
    Interestingly, I noticed that after the upgrade to Aperture 3.1, also Aperture suddenly took a long time to load. Also almost exactly 2 minutes and 20 seconds (and I barely have plugins in Aperture). Usually you start the software and spend some hours with it, I know. But I jump in and out of apps a lot and the loading times are quite annoying. I think 2.5 minutes are quite a loading time. I can boot my whole Mac 4x in that timeframe.
    Any ideas where that might be coming from? Is that normal and am I being too picky? Thanks for a reality check

    Created new user account. Same thing. Logic took over 2 minutes to even start validating all the installed AU plugins (first thing it does on a new user account). After that, another start took also 2 minutes until the "choose project template" dialog appeared.
    I read some posts that mounted USB sticks or flash cards could make Aperture super slow when importing photos. I have Boot Camp installed and have a Windows 7 NTFS partition on the same drive as my MacOS. So, out of curiosity, I forced it to unmount as the partition automatically gets mounted by the OS.
    Voilà! That seems to have been the culprit! Now both Logic and Aperture display the splash screen in seconds and start like they are supposed to. Thanks for your help. Without your suggestions I probably would have never tried this.

  • Business Rules Project Takes Too Long to Open

    Does anyone know why it takes too long (~3-5 minutes) to open/edit a security project definded for assigning business rules to planning application forms? We are using Hyperion v11.1.1.3.0. Essbase is on Windows server, Shared Services on Solaris 10 Unix. Even before we migrated Essbase to Windows to gain better performance running calcs, opening projects using EAS has always been very slow to open. Please advice if there is a way to improve performance on this.

  • Why does it take too long to open attachments from email account?

    It takes forever to download attachments from my email account. I have tried to do the following tasks explained on the vista forum :http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/6b046ae9-1434-4423-9303-400ff6fe686b1033.mspx#ESD but none of the possible fixes work.
    After clicking open on the pop up box asking whether i want to open or save the attachement It takes too long to download it. The transfer window stays open showing that it is ready to download but stays at that bhox window. I press cancel and try to open again, if lucky it opens that file, otherwise it takes forever forceing me to cancel. The files very small files most of the time, usually between 50kb so should take seconds.
    I have even tried to save the files but again same process. The transfer box stays open but does not download.
    Any one any ideas.
    Thanx in advance.

    Hello
    It is not easy to say what happen exactly but it must be something with email account provider and their page. For me this case is not some typical Vista problem but you can try to find solution on Microsoft Vista IT Pro forum.
    By the way: do you have alternative mail address by some other provider? Is there the same situation?

  • Takes too long to open a database

    Dear experts,
    we are trying to load a lot of data into BDB JE 4.1.10, and at the moment total size of all log files is about 306Gb (~ 55mln records with keys length 15-20 bytes and values 10-30KB), total number of files is 1570.
    Usage pattern: big batch updates once a week, all other time read-only with random reads.
    So far the experience of using BDB JE is very good, but one annoying thing is that it takes ~ 30 min to open the database (new Environment(...) takes only 10 seconds, but dbEnv.openDatabase(...) is very slow). It is slow even after a clean shutdown, and even when there were previously no updates at all. Looking at the iostat, the application is very busy with reading from disk.
    Is there a way to speed opening the database up? Or may be it is a reasonable time for such a big database?
    Settings:
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.LOG_FILE_MAX, "" + (200 * MB));
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.LOG_FILE_CACHE_SIZE, "500");
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.LOG_WRITE_QUEUE_SIZE, "" + (24 * MB));
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.LOG_BUFFER_SIZE, "" + (8 * MB));
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.CHECKPOINTER_BYTES_INTERVAL, "" + (100 * MB));
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.CLEANER_MIN_AGE, "10");
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.CLEANER_MAX_BATCH_FILES, "10");
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.CLEANER_READ_SIZE, "" + (4 * MB));
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.CLEANER_LOOK_AHEAD_CACHE_SIZE, "" + (2 * MB));
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.LOG_FAULT_READ_SIZE, "" + (24 * KB));
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.LOG_ITERATOR_READ_SIZE, "" + (128 * KB));
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.EVICTOR_LRU_ONLY, "false");
    envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.EVICTOR_NODES_PER_SCAN, "200");
    System: SUSE with 32Gb onboard and 2CPUs with 4 cores each, RAID0 on 4 disks 7200rpm. BDB JE has 75% for cache from 10GB available for the application.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi ambber,
    Thanks for your suggestion. A counter that must be updated atomically and logged periodically by JE would be accurate, but would add the same sort of complexity to JE that you mention was added to your application. More importantly, it would only address one type of aggregate "count" that an application may be interested in. Other applications, for example, need to find the number of records in a key range, where the range end points are not predetermined.
    Another possibility is for JE to provide a very rough estimate of the record count, based on the depth of the Btree and the number of internal nodes below the root level of the tree. For example, if the tree is 5 levels deep, the tree has N nodes under the root level, 128 is the maximum size of each node, and nodes are on average 75% full, then the total number of records is very roughly:
    N * ((128 * 0.75) ^^ 4)The advantage of this approach is that it requires no additional data to be logged, does not reduce concurrency, and a similar approach can be applied to a key range as well the entire database.
    Because it would be a very rough estimate, it would mainly be useful for determining optimal query strategies.
    How are you using the record count?
    Just a thought.

  • Why does it take so long to open emails?

    It can take a minute to open each email message on my iPad2 ( 1st generation).  I use Yahoo email.  The mail opens in a flash on my iPhone 4S.  I am using wifi with a NETGEAR router.  I have no problem open the emails on my iMac computer.  The problem exists only on my iPad.

    Hello, Chairwalker. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device.  Once this is done test the functionality of mail on your iPad.

  • Camera take to long to open

    why does the camera take so long to load? Some times it starts right away other time it take over 15 seconds to load? Any Ideas?

    I took my phone into Apple. The guy told me to restore my phone but not to do it from the backup. He noticed that the Usage & Standby times where the same and said that was a problem, that basically the phone was always working. After the restore things are working fine. I just have to bring everything in manual and I lost my text messages.

  • My Preview will not open JPG files, only PDF.  I have downloaded nothing or installed nothing as I am a Luddite.  Any idea why all of a sudden, Preview would just stop opening JPG files?

    My Preview, suddenly, will not open JPG files.  It will open a file if it is saved as a PDF, but not JPG.  I have downloaded nothing nor installed apps as I am a Luddite.  Does anyone know the deal?  Thank you.

    So ummm.....which app is opening up your PDF files?
    If you want Preview to open your PDF files, do the following:  Highlight your file>File>Get Info> 
    In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
    Select the Preview app to open the file.
    Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

  • Too long to Open pdf files

    I have a Latop with Windows XP SP3 and Adobe 9.1 Pro. From one day to another, every time the user tries to open any pdf file (with a double click) it takes about 1 to 2 minutes to open. If I do the same with Adobe Acrobat - File - Open, the situation seems normal. I already install the Adobe and re-install it again and the situation is the same. Any suggestion what to do? Thanks R

    When you double-click on a file Acrobat needs to launch first, load all the plugins, scripts, etc. and then open the file.
    When you go to File - Open from within the application it has already launched and loaded everything and just needs to open the file.
    So you can't compare the two.
    Anyway, beside Michael Kazlow's valid questions, you can try to hold down Shift while loading the application. It's supposed to bypass all the plugins and load faster.
