Similar to other topics which have been posted, none of the suggested solutions have helped… so here goes :upside_down_face: echo.Location.QUONSET_HUT.gig (1.0 MB) Hi – a gig file that was previously working now just hangs on load and never finishes, requiring me to force quit GP. The original gig…

OK, I found the little bastard. Suspected one particular plugin (as it had been acting weird in Logic Pro) and commented it out in the gig file.

[image] stevenbrent: a gig file that was previously working now just hangs on load What changed on your system at the point when this gig stopped loading? Did you perform any updates? Upgrades to OS? Plugin updates? New plugins? Do other gigfiles work?

@dhj thanks – yep, other gig files work. I’m not aware of any system changes between the last time it worked and when it stopped working. It’s possible that one or more plugins updated themselves, true. I was trying to bypass all of them with the search & replace so I could try to isolate a naughty …

Ah, forgot to mention – GP support person was able to load the gig file successfully on their machine, and it’s safe to assume they don’t have all the referenced plugins installed. So really I’d love to just bypass all to start with.

Load fine for me on Windows, but I don’t have any of your plugins or any of the files the file players are trying to load. Maybe change the names of the audio files it’s looking for (temporarily) and see if that has any impact on behavior?

Interesting idea, thanks – will try it and report back.

OK, so I renamed the directory with all of the backing track and tried to load the gig file. This time it popped up a window listing the files not found but startup still hangs. One detail I’ve noticed – the initial plug in scan seems to pass, then the startup hangs on loading the rackspace itself (…

@dhj It was the SpaceCraft granular synth: https://www.deltavaudio.com – it occurred to me that while it runs great on iPad, the macOS version had been acting strangely in Logic Pro X. As soon as I commented it out in the .gig file, everything is fine… except I need to find another Granular synth th…

Please report back on the vst - SpaceCraft is indeed fun but it is getting a little long in tooth (that means “old” for the non-native-English speakers…). I haven’t tried it in GP.

Gig File no longer loads, GP hangs
