Engine Prime 1.6 Crashes Analyzing Mass Files!?

@mufasa

I don’t have any issues on my Mac with the stable releases either.

surface pro has had no issues importing/analyzing and with all the confirmation from you mac users everythings great, it appears my mac was the culprit…

Try rebuilding the Engine database on the Mac. You may have a funky old database.

Since you mentioned that other programs work fine on the Mac

just as i was getting excited:

[1.6] Right Click -> Analyze tracks not doing anything

hey @mufasa , i’ve just encountered this issue too (1.6) midway thru analyzing my collection. imported a new folder which worked fine, but just didn’t analyze. tried right-clicking analyze - nothing. tried re-analyze - nothing. tried ejecting drive, restarting PC etc… nothing. tried that twice. above you say “If reanalyse does not work, you can try with a fresh blank database.” – does this mean everything i’ve analyzed since last Friday will be lost? i just want simply to analyse files an…

will rebuilding lose my past 5 days analysis?

Yes, you will lose performance data that was created on Engine eg hot cue, loops etc

In order to just check if indeed the database on the Mac was the culprit…you can simply Archive the Engine Folder. Rename it to “Engine folder 2021”, if your music is on Ext drive you have to do the same for the Engine Folder on the root directory.

This way after your testing, you can undo the rename to go back to those database

thanks for reply. not on mac anymore… couldn’t get that to analyze without crashing… moved onto a PC which has been working flawlessly until today where it imported a folder then didn’t analyze. any further attempt to analyze/re-analyze does nothing. even tried moving drive back to mac, that wont force analyze either.

on the PC do i rename the Engine folder in on both the external (housing the music) & the Engine folder in teh C:/Music folder?

thanks!

EDIT: don’t worry @mufasa here’s the issue

Engine Prime Won't Analyse My Tracks Anymore

So E.P has been working quite well for me up until today. I purchased a new 500gb SSD & added a lot more of my music on it than what I had on my previous drive. Now suddenly if I highlight (a group or even just one) tracks, right click, then select analyse, it doesn’t do anything. If I select “re-analyse” an older previously analysed track, it also doesn’t do anything, but it deletes the grid for that track!! If I then load that track onto a deck, I see it rebuild a waveform again. This is drivi…
