Cubase 12.0.40 Crashing Randomly

I posted some crash logs to another user’s post regarding issues with Cubase 12 randomly crashing. I’m using the most up to date version on an 2019 16" Macbook Pro with 32GB RAM.

The two instances where it seems to reliably crash is when either trying to access the logical editor shortcut menu (ctrl + right click) or when cycling through Groove Agent. There are other random crashes that have happened as well that seem to just pop out of the blue.

This one just happened in a new project trying to access logical editor

The other 3 crash logs I posted can be found here:

Hi,

In the crash thread, there is nothing from Cubase or any plug-in:

I am finding the same kind of issues on my system (MacBook Pro), to the extent that Cubase 10.0.4 is virtually unusable for me. And I cannot at the moment trace any consistency about the crashes. Sometimes they even happen on an empty project. I have tried all the usual methods and reinstalled, etc, and now have spent so much time on this that I am thinking I can’t use Cubase 12 any more until a new update is brought out.

The fact is that Cubase has become an incredible, incredible program over the many years that I’ve used it, and I’m actually constantly amazed at its capacity. But at the same time it is getting so complex that it is extremely hard even for experts to find what is responsible for malfunctions when they happen. As is obvious on this forum, people are having to spend hours of detective work … and guesswork … just in order to keep going with their projects. Which is contrary to the very reason we are using Cubase as a creative tool.

Hi Martin, I see Cubase 12 and/or some Steinberg or VST element in every thread I’ve looked at. I’ve copy/pasted a few for your convenience. Perhaps there is an issue with whatever software you are opening the crash log in.

Hi,

Of course, Cubase is using several threads. But the crash was in a thread, where is not Cubase.

Alright, so you tell me that the thread didn’t have Cubase in it yet Cubase crashed and Apple indicates that it is Cubase that crashed. Therefore, I assume that there must be a relationship between these two programs - otherwise why else would Apple indicate that Cubase crashed, rather the process that crashed?

No other program on my system is experiencing this kind of instability - Cubase 11 Pro is very stable as well… so, Cubase 12 is the issue, either directly or indirectly. This is the only conclusion that can be reached unless you have an alternative theory?

So, after three repeated crashes after each other, trying to access the logical editor either via the shortcut or from the menu, I checked the option to remove and reset everything to factory defaults, deleting any carryover from previous versions of Cubase, etc. This seems to have solved the issue.

Well, That is not apparently the fix… Today again… crashed trying to apply a logical editor preset… this time it didn’t crash when the menu popped up but when it tried to implement the preset.

Back to square one :confused:

Hi,

The crash thread doesn’t mention Cubase or any plug-in again:

Hi Martin,

Now that I know what to look for, I saw that but frankly, this is the reality:

No other program, not even Cubase 11 Pro, crashes. Only Cubase 12.

I assume since you are responding that it is your job to help solve issues… now, it may not directly be Cubase code that shows up as having failed but I can tell you that it is only Cubase 12 that is crashing so, it is responsible in some way for what’s going on… given that coding is your profession, I think it’s fair to say that you might have a better ideas as to why this might be happening and I would appreciate it if you could point me in a direction that might help before I have to nuke and pave my entire laptop because one program doesn’t work.
