Would what happen is it would launch, scan normally until a certain point where it would hang for a while then poof crash to desktop. One way to avoid this is saving a copy of your uncorrupted preferences, etc with Thrasher or the app Peter made for Mac. You need to give PT time to scan everything correctly. Tiny consolation - Strip Silence is about the only thing that DOES now work.īut any suggestions as to how to restore all my 3rd party plugs VERY gratefully received. And as a background, I'd not changed anything in PT for months, everything working great until this Strip Silence glitch.
I've totally wiped PT and started again with the same problem. I'm getting desperate, I'm mid important gig. Of the few it left, mostly Waves, some load, some cause Exception errors. Finally I got it to load, and I got presented with a dialogue telling me 'The following plug-ins failed to load because they are not valid 64 bit AAX plug-ins' - with a list of pretty much everything I own. I moved the offending plugin to Unused and tried again.
I then did the full uninstall - everything - and tried again with. On relaunch, it crashed on loading a VSL plugin. I started just deleting the prefs folder, as per standard Avid instructions. What started as an issue in 2018.7 with Strip Silence failing to work - thread here - has descended to some whole other level.
