15 mins to load a project, is it normal?
Hi, here another thread maby related, maybe not, to the one I've just opened about kontakt.
Since lastly I have almost no time to make music I stay even for a week or two (maybe more) without working on a project so I don't remember how it went when I worked on it last time.
Maybe because I installed VEP7 and it loads faster than Reaper, maybe some other thing I don't understand but it seems to me that my last projects take too much to load.
It is a big orchestral project with lot of tracks and automations but for your experience is it normal to take 15 mins to load the entire project or something changed since the last time I worked on it? I'm talking about Reaper updates or similar.
Maybe it is related to kontakt issues I'm experiencing...I don't know.
I'm sorry I can't be more precise but my primary work is very time demanding and I can't remember everything.
Your experience could be a good starting point to understand if there is something wrong with my DAW/Plugins/other things....
Thank you.

I use a lot of Kontakt instruments - sometimes even getting close to my maximum of 32 GB RAM. Even so, the most it takes to load a project is around 30 seconds.
Have you tried the usual batch resave technique?
Have you added all your libraries to your antivirus exceptions list?

I did batch/resave many times and my AV is completely turned off. It takes forever to load pretty much everything, even SWAM instruments, eqs and mastering plugins.
So my intuition is correct, there's something wrong...but what? I don't understand...

it 'could' take a long time for a big project with many large kontakt lib's in it to load... but 15 min's does seem kind of long
The question to ask is what is taking that time?
IF it is in fact Kontakt loading it's lib's ...maybe from a slow HD then a simple test would help:
create a new project with maybe three tracks that have kontakt on them but don't load anything into kontakt
Save that and reload that and see what you get.
Also... are you using Save as to first save the project with the two lower left check boxes checked? So it gets saved to it's own folder with everything inside that folder? IF not, do that

I'll try it but see my other post here, I'm also having problems loading libraries inside Kontakt (inside Reaper) while in standalone it works smoothly.
I noticed that it is very very slow with every plugin inside the project, it takes long to load Ozone plugins, Reverbs, SWAM instruments, Kontakt instruments etc...and I remember it wasn't so slow but I'm not able to catch what's changed that could cause this issues...
I don't understand what it is, Windows update? A Reaper update? Some curse from some ancient dead pirate?
In the last period I'm having issues with pretty much everything.
The only thing I remember is I installed VEP7 but I don't think how it could be its fault.
What the...
EDIT
Oh I forgot to mention that I already check the boxes you talk about.

Maybe it could be something in the .ini file or in the REAPER directory.
Something that cause this massive slow down...it is very strange...
EDIT
I forgot to mention that once the project is loaded it randomly hangs an freezes. For example if I load the project, in the mean time or after the load is complete, I stay on Firefox surfing the web when I came back to Reaper and hit play it hangs for some seconds.
Well...I really don't understand what's happening, I can't work with VEP7, I can't directly in Reaper...in cocnlusion I can't do anything.

Well ok but the problem here is that I remember it won't take so longer to load, it is not an hardware problem but something wrong with Reaper in some way.
I have to understand what it is.
