Anyone know why the soundset creature takes forever to start up? I am working on a mac and everytime I try to start it takes more than 5 minutes to even open the browser page to start creating anything. I also have three icons on my dock when I open it one is “Player” and two are “Syrinscape SoundSet Creator” One of those two icons always reports “Application not responding”. Is this something messed up on my end?
I can’t help you with the Mac issues in particular, but yes - the Creator needs some time to start up, as it verifies the sample library. Sometimes it takes ages, other times it goes really quick. Pro tip: start the creator, go to the kitchen and make coffee. Once you’re back, everything you need should be in place. 
And yes, the Creator opens various instances, that is normal. But if that two creator windows on Mac is unusual, someone with proper experience should come forward.
I have a similar problem on MAC OS I assumed it was because I’m running an older version on this rig. (10.9.4)
OK just making sure. The two creator icons have been there since I first downloaded it, I wasn’t sure if the one always showing up as “Application not Responding” was trouble.
