I really hope somebody here can help me because this is about the 5th time this year this has happened and I can't tolerate it anymore. I'm about to give up making music.
My PC is as per my sig. It's a Core I5 with 32 gigs RAM. I've continued to run version 6 of S1 because for some strange reason ver 7 gives me multiple problems (freezing, sticking and other undesirable things which I won't go into here) so I stay on 6 which seems to give me less grief. But it occasionally freezes. And when I say freezes I mean you can move the mouse around and it will highlight what it crosses over but when you click on something for a command it does nothing and just freezes there. The dialogue box stays open and if you move to another folder/file it opens that too and just does nothing. If you go to shut it down the Shut Down box opens and just freezes in that position. This happened today again. It always seems to happen when I'm on the verge of completing a project. I called my trusted local computer tech a few weeks ago when it was working properly (which is most of the time). He set up a remote session to browse around to see if he could find anything but then he asked what program is running when this seems to happen and I said Studio One ver 6. I told him I should be running ver 7 but told him have too many problems with it. He said when something like this happens it is usually caused by another program trying to run in behind what is currently running and he suggested I ask somebody from Presonus about it and that if ver 7 is the current version I should be using that (I should but I have trouble with it. Wish I knew why). Anyway, it is currently in the frozen state. Usually if I wait several hours it will "catch up". I did a forced shut down (which I did several times before when this happened) so it's not currently running S1 but is on the Windows 10 desktop. Hoping one of the wonderful computer techs here can finally give me an answer to this. I spoke to somebody here some time ago about a different problem and he said that my Core I5 processor was to blame. I never saw anything that said Studio One would not run on a Core I5 processor and I never had this problem with the previous DAW I was using. Maybe it has nothing to even do with the DAW but my PC tech suggested I ask you about it.
I'd greatly appreciate a solution.
Thanks
