Cubase 10.5.3 + VEP7 crashes when opening - help please!
I’m working in Windows 10, with an AMD Threadripper 2990x (32-core, 64-thread CPU), 128GB of RAM, and three M.2 NVme drives. (I spent a lot of money upgrading my PC to these specs specifically so I could create and work with a large template.)
VEP7 has seven channels (? the tabs across the top) and each is pretty full. The Cubase file has over a thousand corresponding MIDI tracks.
However, roughly 75% of the time, when I try to open my shiny new template, something crashes - either VEP crashes, Cubase crashes, or both my monitors go black (and the power reset button my computer case doesn’t work, so I have to physically go around behind my computer and flip the power switch).
Also about 10-20% of the time the files open and connect, but the MIDI playback is garbled and crackly.
Thus far I’ve tried:
-
Open VEP first, start the audio engines, then open Cubase
-
Open VEP first (don’t start audio engine), then open Cubase
-
Open Cubase first, then VEP, then “manually” connect VEP instances
-
Restarting my computer before I open the files
-
Excluding my VEP, Cubase, and sample library folders from virus scans (etc.)
Both VEP7 and Cubase are up-to-date.
When everything works, it’s a dream … but it can take me 4-10 tries to open my file just to start working, which is both frustrating and wastes 30 minutes to an hour of my day, which is unacceptable.
Can anyone PLEASE help???
