In other words, are you able to get it to happen by following a specific sequence of steps? Also, under the Help menu \| Show log of flash messages. Paste in the the most recent part of this text file - this might have useful information. Andrew PG Music Inc.

Rebooting the program is strongly recommended. If this persists, then uncheck Use Elastique checkbox in the Audio Settings dialog What data is it processing? From what I understand, Elastique has something to do with stretching audio and pitch shifting. I have not stretched anything. I did change the pitch of a couple of notes in a midi track a few sessions ago. so I am not sure why it would affect playback now and it did not freeze in the last couple of sessions.

It wouldn't have anything to do with changing the pitch of MIDI notes. What are the dates of the Elastique files in the pt\data\libx64 folder? Checking the Elastique setting in the audio settings window is probably good advice, and shouldn't have any negative impact. If you DO time stretch audio / change tempo, you could get better results if you enable that setting prior to doing so. Another thing to try is Edit \| Track \| Consolidate. Andrew PG Music Inc.

If there is any info in the log (Help menu \| View Flash message log), or if an error log is generated when it crashes, or if there is a specific file that causes it to happen, that would be helpful. In the mean-time I would suggest just unchecking that setting. Andrew PG Music Inc.
