Logic X stuck when opening a project

Hello,

I’ve searched for the similar topics, but none of what I found helped me.

All of a sudden my huge Logic project stopped opening. It always get stuck on about 75% of the progress bar. It stopped on some of my Waves plugins, but I could see it loaded up other instances before. And even if I disable and remove my Waves plugins it gets stuck on a Logic plugin in about the same place.

Last time when the project was open I normally closed and saved it without any issues.

Here is what I have already done:

Restarted computer a million times
Rescanned all the plugins, by relocating the catche (as written on Apple’s website)
Disabled the core audio (it opened and I saved it as a new file but when I enable it, it get stuck again)
Reopened the session, by opening the logicx file in the new project and importing all files/attributes (then all audio files were broken for no reason (slowed and pitched down)
Loaded up another session with these plugins and used them (they all work)
Cleared up the hard drive space so I have over 100GB free

I’m running out of ideas, any help will be highly appreciated!

It was a plugin failure. I needed to remove one manufacturer by one and find the broken one, then specific broken instances, remove it, and project has opened.

You mean import settings? So that points to something being wrong in the settings. So maybe try importing tracks into a new project without importing the settings - try to recreate the settings "manually", one by one, and then save close and reopen every time to check that it doesn't get struck, and when. it does get stuck, you'll know that the last setting you changed was the cause.

Another thing you could do is upload a zipped version of your project to a file sharing service (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc) and share a link here, so I (and/or others) can have a look at your project.

There’s a function that lets you import your content, plugins, I/O, automation and notes from another project to your session. So when I did it yesterday all the audio files were broken. So this time I imported only my Midi tracks and audio tracks but without the content. Every plugin, bus (on audio and midi track works and opens), session behaves normally, it just works. Therefore I assume all the tracks settings work. Then I save it, close Logic. It went without any problems. And I reopen the session I’ve just created. And guess what! It’s stuck again.

Edit: When I recreated the session to rebuild it by opening the logicx file from file browser and went to preferences to change my output device and buffer size, when I clicked apply settings it got stuck, I give it 15 minutes, and now this new file won’t open either.
