2-3 second delay on most actions while editing

[tron4949]

I am trying to edit my tracks but no matter what I do there is a 2 - 3 second delay when I try to do something like move the bar to a different time point, press play, adjust db level... If the song is playing and I click mute, or solo, it will only take effect several seconds later, basically most things I need to do while editing are severely delayed.

I have Audition CC most up to date version, I can't say for sure when the files are from and what version of Audition I originally used but the project is not more then 2-3 years old - I use a Macbook Pro 16GB of ram, i7, great specs all around so after reading other posts I can't see the machine being the issue and I am not going past 7 or 8% processing power. 

I read in one of the posts that someone had issues 'calulating playback' because they brought files form an earlier version of Audition but I don't even see that message.  I get the beachball, which is the windows equivalent of the spinning cursor. 

I tried doing my research but I couldn't find anything helpful and I am desperate, any help is much appreciated.

Are you running anything on a SSD on your machine? I get similar things happening, and it's down to Windows and some settings that don't exactly help. You might want to have a look at one of the Youtube videos about this; here is a typical one: Windows 10 with SSD is Slow FIX - YouTube

As I said I use a  Macbook Pro, but yes I use it's built in SSD.  I use full reverb on several tracks and I got a warning that says it's memory intensive but nothing on my machine is being pinned or even close.

And I should mention when I was using my windows machine for the same project before, I was experiencing the same thing so I moved it over to my Mac because I thought it was a performance issue of the machine, doesn't seem like that was the case.

Might need the developers to comment on this, then... (Hopefully one might see it after Easter.)

What sort of effects / plug-ins are you using in the session? I would bet there's one of our high-latency reverbs in there that might be causing issues.

CONFIRMED ISSUE:  The "Full Reverb" effect - even though it says it's cpu intensive, I monitor everything and there doesn't seem to be much of a change performance wise on the computer, certainly not to the point where it should be lagging that bad making it impossible to edit.  I wonder if the "cpu intensive" thing is a dummy message because there is some other issue with the way it was created?  No idea.

SOLUTION:  Remove the full reverb effects (unfortunately) and mix without them for now with a substitute - shouldn't have to do this so I would like an answer from one of the devs as to why this is happening.
