I have Nuendo 12 - 15.0.21 loaded on my Win 11 PC and ALL ITERATIONS keep hanging up at the Loading Nuendo Mixer stage of launching a project. Nuendo itself opens in less than 60 seconds. But the project launches can take as long as 11 minutes before opening a file.
I have updated everything I can think of , cleared out caches, removed unused apps, done fresh installs of the drivers on my NVIDIA card, cleared all of my USB drivers and overnight shut downs for a cold start and still the problem persists.
I’m doing music production. So none of my projects are particularly large in size. It’s a very fast, bespoke built PC with separate drives for audio and video and archiving. None of these drives are anywhere near capacity (maybe 20% used). So, I can’t figure out what could be causing this.
The task manager shows Nuendo is working, as opposed to not responding, during the hangup periods. Memory storage isn’t showing any spikes and the cache isn’t showing any strain. These load times are ridiculous and I am very anxious to find a solution for this. A search has revealed that this has been an ongoing issue as far back as N7. But I haven’t seen any solutions posted on any of those threads.
Is anyone else having this problem? If so, HOW were you able to correct it? This is very frustrating.
I’ve never encountered this behaviour. Does this also happen with a fresh, empty Project, without any plug-ins in the mixer? Are you using Control Room? Any fancy stuff in its inserts? Any exotic audio-drivers or add-ons for external controllers?
Hi, you did not say what VST FX and VST instruments you are using in your projects. If you are using Ni Kontakt loading massive sample libraries might also be a cuplrit…if using Kontakt try purging samples in instances then saving project. ALso you could take a mixer snapshot with all settings, then fully reset mixer then save with a new name, load the new project then recall the snapshot and test again. That way you know its an insert causing the issue.
There was no Kontakt VSTi in the pproject. But I did have two External FX in the project, I removed them. But, sadly, it made no difference. Still hanging up, though not quite as long (now down to 7 minutes lag time). Also, Im getting these dropouts, like the song just stops playing, even though the track is still moving. I checked the cache and it was showing zero impact! So, now I’m dealing with two issues.
