Strange Nuendo problem

Slogun · 4th May 2005

I have Nuendo 2.2 running on a Intel P4 2.8GHz (533MHz FSB) with 1024MB (333MHz) RAM.
I'm working on a 29 (44.1/24) track project and I haven't added many effects (most of the fx are actually running from Powercore). I had a CPU strain of approx. 55%. Strange enough, the other day I was working with the project, copy and pasted just a tiny clip of a drumloop to another part of the project. Saved my project and during that Nuendo "hung" itself. The CPU raised to 100% and stayed there for approx. 1/2h. After that I could start working again.
Just before I did that "copy/paste" the project/computer was running fine.
Today I opened up the very same project. Took me about 15min instead of usually 15sec to open the project, and to save it took more than 1hour today. And the difference I made to the project??? I DELETED 4 tracks!

All other projects work fine, it's just this one...

Anyone have a clue what this might be?

You might be better served by posting this in the Nuendo forum.

I've posted it in the Nuendo forum now. And I will get right on your advice mr. weedmaker. But do I really need to reset the mixersettings? Will I loose my automation then as well

Can't I just skip to #2?

Slogun · 5th May 2005

OK, here's how it worked out.

I skipped to #2 and it took about 1.5h to save it to a new folder. Start up the new .npr and it still takes about 15min (might be down to 12min

. You can clearly see on the HDD LEDs that there's not much activity going on streaming data during the .npr load-up.
And to save the project again?! Well, I don't know yet. There's still that annoying hourglass. So I'm sorry to say it didn't work out.

However, by coincidence I went to a party last night and met one of Steinbergs sales representatives there. He also thought that this is due to a corrupt .npr-file. He said that I should try to open up this project on another computer, save it there and bring it back to my music comp.
He mentioned that many of their customers who have to deal with this are working on PCs. They mail their .npr-files to them and they open it up on Mac and send it back to them and it works again. Don't know if the correlation PC-Mac-PC has to be. I will at least try PC-otherPC-PC since I don't have any other choice at the moment (still waiting for my dual 2.3).

For anyone having the same problem...

It worked opening up the project on another comp, save it there and bring it back to your original comp.
