its partly my fault i guess cause i never freeze to tracks on anything, but when u get that blue circle spinning.....do you wait it out? or nothing happens i guess?

is there a way to bring it back from that circle thing to save the session or its gone once u get that circle spinning

 

I completely stopped using shitty iZotope, Waves and all iLok-protected plugins, and no problems since then

 

Wait it out. Most of the time, Reaper is working and will come back -- could take minutes. You can analyse that it is working, as opposed to crashed, by using any process info tools, or even just task manager.

 

Depending on your computer's specs and the project, it may take a while until everything's loaded. So yes, wait unitl Reaper's ready.
