Im strugling with the same issue at the moment. Loaded up some wave files into a project to do some mastering and every time I click on the button for digital release, the software freezes. The only recent change for me was that upgraded to Win 11 right before this started to happen to me. I am also running i7 8th gen, 32 GB of RAM, 3TB of SSD storage, made sure all my drivers were up to date etc. Any help on this subject would be welcome.
