last night i have a real "Dont Pakin!" moment ... i load a big track and my Cross gui frezz ... the promlem was the current running track was near end of track ... im lucky and before the track ends the gui response again.

but this condition is really bad.
it it not possible to seperate the track load stuff from the Ui thread?

You might want to give some more nfo ,, system spec , what software was being run , ie vid plug in , hardware involved ,,any of the things that will let support staff dupliciate it ,,

hi!

What do you mean by "as long as track loads"?
How long does it freezes?

From the sounds of it, the track wasn't analyzed and it analyzed on load - freezing the GUI.

Once the track was analyzed and loaded up, ready for play, the GUI returned. Analyzing the track in advance helps to solve this issue...

It's more prevalent in computers that are near the lower end specs or are loaded down with something else as well.

i have a slow harddisk for my tracks ...
the freezes in the Video are really fast the freeze can go longer

Slow hard disk to load video ?

You need a hard drive that can handle production task, not a hard drive that is designed to store/archive (slow) or to be green (spindown and startup time).

Would you take a Prius on a Rally stage ?

Sorry m8 but this ist just Bad Software design no Task have to block the UI Thread! And this is the First you lern in every modern design pattern on every platform! Every bottleneck can be faster with more processing Power but it is still a bottleneck! Profile your Code!

Ok Daniel, let's calm down.
We know you know how to code, probably in a very good way, but we also know a bit how it works ... I guess you won't teach us how to...
Moreover, here's no developer forum, and Support@MixVibes is not a developer.

Well, loading a track block the UI for a short time, that's a fact. But no one here has a several-seconds freezing... So, there must be something special in your setup. Might be a slow HDD, or some mp3 files encoded in a particular way (for instance).

Could isolate some possible cause? E.g.:
- All tracks freezing the UI are on the same disk.
- All tracks are mp3 encoded in the same way.
- All track are ... whatever...

It could help us find out why the freezing is so long on your machine.

By the way, Support@MixVibes is right by saying you'd better have a fast HDD to store the tracks you are playing, even if it should behaves correctly with a slow one.

Cheers,
