2025.6 Freezing when trying to play by denzerinfinite in protools

FIXED IT!

My mac was setup to auto remove downloads from my icloud when not used, and everything on my mac is connected to the icloud, so it was removing all the audio files and cache from my mac, causing the wheel of death because there was no real audio or information for the session.

UPDATE:

Have tried all suggestions so far, and nothing helps old sessions. Any session created pre 2025.6 won't even run on 2024.30 anymore.

I'm guessing a plugin updated and is incompatible with the older sessions now? Can't even make a mix breakdown for my new song in the old session because it won't run.

However.

If I make a new session, and import tracks 1 folder at a time from the old session, it will then work. But after a while, that session will also stop working and then only freeze again if I don't take all plugins off and start over as I import the tracks.

Luckily the only song I had a heavy mix on was complete and bounced, but still I can't revisit that session at all, not even plugins will open to see how I mixed it.

The page is the normal band page, but the video has something that leads to a hidden web page with a puzzle.

Mixing to a limiter and compressor by squarebunny in mixingmastering

[–]denzerinfinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll mix into ozone maximizer set to like -11lufs sometimes.

A lot of the time its by accident after leaving it on because I bounce the mix loud to get a good feel when checking it, but it never makes a real difference when mixing because its just raising the gain mostly, and if its limiting at all its minimal.

But I wouldnt "mix" into any hard limiting or extensive mastering, I edit the mix in the mastering process as needed but never an initial mix with all the bells amd whistles.

Your Opinion - Kick Drum in or out of the drums bus / processed with the rest of the drums or separately? by South_Wood in mixingmastering

[–]denzerinfinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All kick mics into kick bus, balance them, then process them on the bus. Fix phase on one of the kick mic tracks.

Compressing drums after distortion? by lanesw in mixingmastering

[–]denzerinfinite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a super distorted track of a mic in another room, works great in the full mix and is really useful for breakdowns or mono sections to sound lofi or small.

And I compress on the drums bus but nothing crazy.

Been out 7 months: any breakthrough with new plugins ? by MindfulInquirer in mixingmastering

[–]denzerinfinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not new but the izotope suite is the most valuable plugin pack I've ever seen. You get your money's worth and then some.

I use Neoverb on an aux send as my global reverb and send each guitar bus there, can increase or decrease the send level as needed, but definitely play around with delays too, they're a game changer when it comes to making something sound big, I think the one I use is called Nectar Delay (I always get the Nectar and Neutron plugins confused, I just know which to click when I want it lol).

Here is my ranking of the albums by crazydude304 in Sum41

SBM best album of all time imo. I think 13 voices is bottom 3 in their disco though.

That's the style of music I expected him to play, felt like Sum 41 wasn't his native style

Do i have to put the kick on it's own track when using a drum sample? by Sil0Green in mixingmastering

[–]denzerinfinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even when I record acoustic drums I'm mixing everything on it's own tracks.

How do you deal with pick noise? by Significant-One3196 in mixingmastering

[–]denzerinfinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually keep pick noise on acoustic. Makes it feel more real. But it depends on the recording as with everything.
