Brian Sheen Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Ok...has anyone got a definitive fix for this Creating UI hang when opening a project? I thought maybe it was project specific, but I just tried opening a new project from the "basic track" template and its still hanging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martsave martin s Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 could it be that is scaning-plugins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Sheen Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Scan plug ins are all unchecked in preferences. I'd say its just been since the last couple updates. That being said I thought I'd try opening a project using Sonar Platinum and I get the same sort of "hang". It'll eventually open the project, but it can literally take 5 minutes.

Brian Sheen Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I saved a copy of this project without the synth rack and the plugin browser open, and it seems to open much much faster. Why would the synth rack and browser have something to do with slowing down the opening of a project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonemangler Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 By any chance was the synth rack or plugin browser undocked? To me this issue sounds like there is some conflict with your graphics card. Have you tried installing it's latest drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that you mention that, I am actually wondering if that's the issue. I got two cards I'm using for a 3 monitor setup. When I first set the cards up there was no issue. But I always get update notifications from Radeon, so I will run the updates. I'm wondering if I need to roll back to an earlier driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do undock the mixer, but the project loaded ok with mixer undocked and the syth rack and plugin browser not open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangkekf Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Please see here: I've been troubled by this problem for a long time. The post tell that : When you open a project, cakewalk / sonar platinum will try to lookup some zip file outside the project and try to extract it. If you encounter a damaged zip file or a zip file that takes a long time to extract, you will always get stuck in the "creating UI". Because of conclusion in topic above, I remember that I created a huge zip file at "D:/mydata.zip" not long ago. Extracting it will take 20 minutes more. And I opened any project in cakewalk and hang at "creating UI" for 20 minutes or more time . I removed the D:/mydata.zip and all projects were loaded successfully and faster! But why was the Cakewalk even trying to unzip a zipfile that is not in the content directory or the project folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that's why I think any thread over 4-6 months old should be automatically frozen to keep cr4p like this from happening all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It's likely that you've got a zip file that Windows can't "explore" in either the project directory, or the place you launched Cakewalk from (e.g. desktop). The Media Browser is essentially a re-wrapped Windows Explorer component, and it's Windows Explorer that is trying to list the all the files, treating the zip file as if it was a folder.
