Nope. closer to a reaper vet!
that is def not it. I got it to go away by deleting some plugins but if i add to many more plugins it comes back. But i appreciate the response!
I also run into this problem when i open 2 big projects via the tabs function. This bug is very repeatable too if any devs wanted to screenshare some time to try to get to the bottom of it.
And just to be clear this happens on projects that open fine solo. And this isnt the computer bottlenecking. Still have plenty of ram and the fx dont even hit the cpu until i hit play.
