Sluggish and lots of problems

Right now I'm using Soundtrack pro 2.01 on a macbook pro with lots of ram. When sending a multitrack project from FCP it takes forever just to update the waveforms in STP. First I thought that FCP would send the files with some kind of default handle but not so. Every single soundfile are as long it's source file. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I had the same problem with Soundtrack pro 1 on a different mac. So I gave up on sending the project directly from FCP. Instead I've been exporting an omf from FCP and then importing to STP. Works fine. However STP seem to be very cpu intensive. Right now I'm running 24 channels of audio with some EQ and compressor. No reverbs or multiband compressors. It's so sluggish that's it's impossible to work. I will probably give up on this app very soon and go back to logic or pro tools. I've spent so much time trying to make it work.

Same here. As you will see in some of my other posts this is the buggiest software Apple has released since pre-OS7 days - really. I'm almost beside myself with disappointment. I think it's going to take some immediate and dedicated work on Apple's part to get this otherwise excellent audio tool back online.
I need it for a lot of ADR work and I'm just not able to use it anymore (1 week after I started using it) because it just doesn't work - I've even lost work.
After trashing pref files and really cleaning up this latest installation of FC Studio 2, my remaining issues with STP are:
- It spontaneously quits all of the time.
- Crossfades in MultiTake (not multitrack), are not working, at all.
- Loss of files connected to specific projects.
- Not able to apply Effects to the Master Bus and have the settings saved after quiting.
- All kinds of Exporting unpredictability, including silence where there is audio.
- And finally, launching the program seems to take an unreasonable amount of time, longer than FCP itself, and updates after parameter changes are definitely taking much too long.
As I said in another post, Wow! Final Cut STudio is supposed to be getting better, not worse.

    Corsair XMS2-6400C4DHX

    Please help I have lots and lots of problems with lockups that can happen any time post , bios , loading vista and sometimes during OS. Some times will work ok play games etc. Already tried different combinations fitting the mem modules even tried and some pc4200 modules same problems. Spent lots of hours clocking the mems with different settings but non is stable. I am not interested in overcloking just to make it stable to start with. When is actually running is fine is more than enough for me. Already looked to lots of posts on the msi forum but… Since the cpu is old can I go back on an older bios version???? The Corsair modules have to run at 2.1V or is it possible to use them with slower setting. So confused so lost ….. please HELLPPPPP
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    please, don't buy any more unneded parts.  first find the problem then buy if no solutions available.
    One thing I find with BIOS issues is to do a full clear.
    1. disconnect the power cord from the power supply(turn switch to off if there is one.
    2. hit the power switch to clear the power out of the system.
    3. set the cmos jumper to clear and leave there if one is available.
    4. Pull the battery.
    5. carefully short out the battery connector on the motherboard to drain any power left.
    6. press the clear cmos button and hold for 30sec minimum, if you didn't have a jumper to set. 
    7. replace battery, move jumper back, plug in power cord, turn on power sipply switch.
    Now it should hopefully power up.  go into BIOS and load optimized results. hit save and exit and when it gets back to the post screen, go back into bios and set your normal MB settings(ie. set boot devices, boot order, disable sound if using sound card, etc...)
    go into your H/W Monitor section and list the CPU Vcore settings to make sure it is getting the power it needs.  I just looked it up and it's suppose to run from 1.225v - 1.325v.
    also, try your most generic ram you have with auto settings.  the faster the ram usually the more volts they need and default volts are 1.8v for ram and sometimes faster chips have issues with lower volts.
    Let me know how this works for you.
    -=Mark=-
    ps. make sure everything is unplugged from the computer you don't need.  just cpu, 1 stick of ram, and video. and of course keyboad and mouse.  Please make a signature with all your systems specs including make and model numbers.  I hate guessing at solutions and I'd hate to see you buy any more unneccessary parts because of lack of information.

  • I am having problems downloading files from the web. After a number of files are downloaded, the system become sluggish, and then hangs. I traced the problem to the download history file: downloads.sqlite.

    After downloading a number of 1.0 MB files, the system became very sluggish, and I started to get lots of (Not Responding) messages when trying to download or just use Firefox for browsing. Using Performance Monitor, I observed that the Firefox executable was growing larger and larger - up to as large as 1.2 GB on a system with 2.0 GB memory. Page faults were off the chart.
    Looking for a similar problem, I found one that discussed the downloads.sqlite file becoming corrupted. I first noticed that this file was over 600 MB in size, so I deleted it. I then downloaded additional files, and observed that the new downloads.sqlite file would increase in size by about 150% of the size of each file that was downloaded. Once it would get up to 500 MB in size, the system started slowing down again.
    I don't know the purpose of this file, but it appears that it keeps a full copy of every file downloaded, which may be the function of a download history file, but it does not seem correct that the file should grow in size without limit, and thus impact the system.
    I would also appear that the Firefox executable is trying to read the entire contents of this file each time a new file is downloaded, which does not seem right.
    Temporary fix is to periodically delete the downloads.sqlite file when it gets too large and starts impacting performance.. Apparently it is smart enough to open a new file if the old one is not found. I am not sure what the correct behavior for this file should be. Apparently is does not re-initialize when a new Firefox session is initiated.
    Please feel free to contact me if more information is desired. I'm not sure what details you might need to troubleshoot this type of problem.

    Hi Katy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    What is the exact name of the file?
    Is it aim.bin?
    Which requires either Stuffit Expander, or the Unarchiver to deflate.

    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

  • HT204406 I let my match subscription go because I was having a lot of problems with it. I re-subscribed and it reset all my database of music back to when I last had match. How do I fix this?

    I ended up letting my itunes match subscription go because I was having a lot of problems with it. I was getting a lot of music where it would play the censored version instead of explicit like I have. After attempting numerous times to fix I gave up and let match expire. I had updated my library by downloading a number of AAC versions from itunes and then manually deleted all of them and added the proper files back by re-ripping my CD's again. I also added a bunch of new music and because I use a rating system, re organized all my music and rated some stuff with new ratings and higher star ratings.
    About 3 months passed and I decided to give match another try. After getting it, I found it odd that my database was put there in virtually no time. Not only that, a significant amount of music I deleted (but was in the old match subscription) showed up. I knew it was broken at that point, but today, I was listening to music and items which I know have been updated and changed, have also reverted back to old settings. Is there a way to fix this?
    Also, I'm REALLY annoyed with match again. After all my work, I STILL have censored music as my match music. It is really annoying to have different music on my computer than what is in the cloud (not to mention the music which will not upload to the cloud and just constantly says "waiting"!!)

    Yeah, and it didn't work.
    I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.

  • When making a circle, illustrator automaticly makes lots and lots of more circles... How to resolve this problem? Really need quick advice!!

    Hi there,
    I have used illustrator now for a long period of time. Recently I purchased Adobe CC. Had no problems with it untill now.
    It's like this. Whenever I try to make a circle (or, square, line or other forms) Illustrator makes lots and lots of more circles within it.
    From the moment I click on the page untill I release my mouse, it keeps making circles. (see enclosed picture)
    I have really no idea whatsoever how to undo this. I have used Illiustrator CC before for another project, and it worked fine. Now however, it doesn't.
    Can anyone help me out here? I have payed projects to deliver, and I really need this to work really soon...
    Thnx for your help!
    btw, I work on a PC with Windows 8. (don't really think it's relevant, but still..)

    Thnx!
    I didn't know that could cause it. Which is actually weird since I've recently bought a new laptop. >,<U
    Thnx for your help!

  • I'm facing a lot of problem to get connected to 3G speed on my iPhone4 . And also I hardly get 2g speed . I'm done with all the checks as network reset , clearin cache n cookies even . Thus request to clear this heck of a issue

    Facing a lot of problem in connecting to 3G speed on my iphone4 . Done with all the checks as network reset and also done with clearing cache n cookies still the problem is same . I hardly get 2g speed even . Thus I request to help to fix this problem.

    Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
    help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
    understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
    able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
    are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
    those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
    are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
    erroneously assign a wrong variable!

    I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems:
    _ my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normally
    _ my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines(as perhaps electrical problems). The phone did fell and I already changed its back and front but everything was normal until these problems appeared suddenly
    Please can somebody help me to solve it and tell me what are the reasons?
    Thx

    you can try turning it off and on again, but i doubt that's gonna work, that sounds like more of a hardware issue. Your best bet may be to contact apple and seek service or replacement

    I recently update my iphone 5 and had lots of problems.  Apple support helped but now I see that none of my music is downloaded.  Do I have to download each song/playlist individually?

    Updated the phone to IOS 7.1.1 but there was a problem with my computer.  Everything was removed from the phone but I couldn't get it back without help.  The tech helped me and everything is fine now except the music.  I did sync it and backed it up but wonder if I should restore backup.  I'm a little nervous to try that, what do you think.
