Studio One will sometimes hang or freeze when Hardware Integration is loading up. Below is a manual fix to this issue:
Go to Start >> Computer >> Type in %appdata% in the browser >> PreSonus >> Studio One
Locate the "Services.settings" file >>
Open it with Notepad >>
For the heading that says "<Attributes friendlyName="PreSonus Hardware Support" enabled="1"/>"
>>
change the '1' to a '0'
>>
so it should look like that exactly, with a 0.
>>
Go to File >> Save. >> Then, close the file.
Restart S1 and the problem should be fixed.
-------
This works the same way with Mac except you would locate the Studio One folder by going to >> Mac HD >> User account >>
(On Lion; click Shift+Command+G and type: ~/Library)
>> Preferences >> PreSonus >> StudioOne >> (if you don't see it there, open the x86 folder) >>
Right click services.settings Open it with 'Other...' and select TextEdit >>
For the heading that says "<Attributes friendlyName="PreSonus Hardware Support" enabled="1"/>"
>>
change the '1' to a '0'
>>
so it should look like that exactly, with a 0.
>>
Go to File >> Save. >> Then, close the file.
Restart S1 and the problem should be fixed.
