I don’t see any post on this and I’m baffeled … I have sreveral PC workstations and a brand new Mac Workstation and I see this issue on both …
When zoomed in beyond a certain point clip editorial behavior becomes sluggish. It acts like a ball and chain has been chained to the app… Grab 2 clips on adjacent track and try and do a split … makes me want to kill myself … only solution is to zoom out or wait a bazillion seconds for N5.5 to catch up with what your attempting … I don’t remember it being like this in earlier versions … I tend to work on minutia zoomed way in so this is a real game changer for me… I have not isolated anything that causes this … i.e video or imported clips …
Can anybody else out there validate this? Seriously this has been going on for a while and if it does not get better I will need to consider a new platform …
I have this as well, when dealing with higher amounts of audiotracks, edits and takes etc - as soon as I am in a high res zoom mode everything is absolutely sluggish. Zooming out till waves are nasty and preview-style again, and everything is fast again.
CPU at 5% or something, SSD drives… can not caused by slow system.
Funny that this comes up today, one day after I experienced this too!
12 mono tracks of 2 hours length, no other stuff loaded → and editing is virtually impossible.
All edits and movements of the grid (not the mouse pointer itself) are working in slow motion. And I really mean ssllloooowww motion. I didn’t even zoom in too much horizontically, just the height of the waveforms was adjusted with zoom.
I already had this in previous Versions, so no new 5.5 thing… Very annoying when using pencil in waveform editor!
But I could never work out what causes this issue, I experienced it in totaly different sessions.
Since changing my DAW in summer (Q6600 → i7) it never came back again. (knock on wood…)
Yep, pencil and scissor are the “culprits”. It’s worst here when zooming OUT on a long session. The further I zoom IN, the faster the gridline follows the mouse pointer.
