i think i noticed this this evening on my 1.9.2: autofill overviews is extremely slow. detach the sl1 and build the overview using the build overviews button and it's as quick as ever, but autofill (when the track is loaded to a deck for the first time) is very slow/fails

JohnyB, please start a new thread.

Do you get any audio dropout?

What are the specs on your machine?

How old is your mac?

Is it really running 10.5.0?

no audio drop out . i have a mac pro purchased on 01/12/2009 250 gb hard and 2 gb ddr2 . it is running on 10.5.8 2.5 GHz intel core 2 duo
I have 1.8.2 and 1.9.2 and 1.8.2 is alot faster when it comes to loading the tracks first time .

It sounds like you might benefit from the MAC performance update. They put this out last month to solve some HD freezing issues with comp[uters released over the last year and a half. Link below

www.macworld.com

I have tried the update . It say my mac does not require nore has the required hardware for the update and according to Apple tech its because I do not need the update ?

I will be getting snow leopard update soon , is 1.9.2 compatable with max os x 10.6 ?

Yes, 1.9.2 is the version you want to use if you have Snow Leopard.

Do you have the overviews built on all of your music? That can greatly reduce load time and CPU drain which in turn could cause a screen pause.

I did built overviews but still the same problem . its really odd . 1.8.2 worked great as far as music , once downloaded the new video sl software (updated the one i had) the video stopped working . I realized the new video sl effects are for 1.9.2 so i can not delet the update now to keep the old 1.8.2 with video sL. i downloaded 1.9.0 scratch live which froze the mac everytime I opened it and wanted to close it . once i pressed yes to exit it froze and i had to force quite. then i downloaded 1.9.2 and it worked fine but the screen freez when the audio track is loaded still happens. did over views , lowered screen update , changed the usb buffer and nothing seems to be working I also did the MAC PRO update .

now im affraid if i update os x to 1.6 then i wont be able to use 1.8.2 and 1.9.2 wont work ?

You can roll back the firmwear in your mixer.

With the program open you will hold down the high kill switches of the mixer and turn the power off. You are still holding down the high kill switches. Power the mixer back on while still holding the high kills and you should get a message saying it is roilling back the firmwear for you.

Any luck with that?

done now tyhe audio tracks are loading as fast as 1.8.2 but as soon as i open video sl everything slows down 10 times worst

Videos Sl takes a lot more resources from the computer.

so ? thats it ? no way to fix it ? what did rolling back fireware exactly do ?

i dont know if the im the only one with this problem but 1.9.2 kinda sucks , video sl 1.1 pusts so much pressure on the cpu it just wont work with 2gb of memory so it sems like im going back to 1.8.2 ,. as much as I loved the new effects whats the point if the mac freezes everytime i want to unassign the video track , switch songs or load a audio file with video assigned . 2.5 Ghz , 2 GB memory and 250 GB hard drive . mack ox 10.6 apparantly not enough

I might be having the same problem, I just got a Macbook Pro and when I load a track to the deck the song still plays but the decks and waveforms freeze for a slight moment.. i returned my macbook to get a new one (my first macbook never had this issue) but when i run programs like iTunes it takes a while.. possible HD issue.. is this like ur poblem?

Please start a new thread. many avenues to explore.

you said there were effects listed that weren't accesible due to the older SSL version. So rolling back the firmwear should have removed those unusable options.

Just to recap, cause I re read the entire thread.

Is the problem the 2 second screen pause when you load a song?

That pause isn't there in the 1.8.2 and ?.?.? (which video Sl version?)

but the pause IS there using 1.9.2 and 1.1.1?

yes . 1.8.2 and old video sl works fine . 1.92 and new sl 1.1.1 freezes for a second

did u get a new mac ? did it work ?

I will ask the developers if there is a good reason for that. I'm not sure why the same computer running the same amount if info pauses for 2 seconds on the new versions but has no pause with older versions.

Are you using AAC files (itunes files) ?

Do you have the overviews built on the music?

I too get the 2 sec pause and it gets so bad sometimes it freezes my macbook pro
