I have been testing the program with a lot of different plug-ins and the problem is not related to a specific plugin. The problem seems to be somehow related to the cubase program itself. Either a random plugin stops working, it´s not possible to move any controll or fader, but cubase still plays the audio, or several random plug-ins or FX plug-ins just spikes the CPU for 3-4 sec or longer, could be just one plugin or more, or even steinberg FX can give spikes at random occasions (like the new MultiTap delay), only one channel open and only one insert fx.
Loading times within the preset browsers for either steinberg plug-ins or other plugz takes up to 30 sec for some occasions.
Audio drop outs for 3-10 sec, the colorball spinns and makes the program hang for a wile, and if you move the mouse around, Cubase project window makes some flashes and returns to normal for a few seconds and then the procedure starts all over again until you force end it.
Sometimes everything works fine for 1-2 hours, all controls and faders and knobs work, and then suddenly the audio drops out for no reason at all and the program starts to behave like sh*t.
I have tried to increase the buffer size in ASIO and turned on/off the ASIO guard, changed the Mutlithread option, make the audio boost in priority, without luck…
Cubase 10 works fine, still have it on my Mac, no audio drop out no CPU spikes.
Please all, send a Support Request Form to Steinberg in your accout page at “My Steinberg” so they understand the seriousness in this problem.
