Is anyone else experiencing cubase crashing - this is happening on a regular basis now.
Never had this issue before.
For instance I could be mixing vocals and it’ll then decide to crash. This is happening even if nothing is playing. I then lose my work. I know there are backups but that’s not the point considering the money this program costs. I have set the autosave to 5 mins by the way.
My Mac is powerful enough and today I had safari open in the background.
My equipment is:
Cubase 12 pro
MacMini M1
CPU/8C GPU
Memory 16 GB
1 TB SSD Storage
macOS Ventura 13.2.1
Apollo twin X
I haven’t gone to support yet but thought I’d put up the diagnostic report so someone can have a look. 
Cubase 12-2023-03-22-183643.ips (265.4 KB)
Rock solid here on same system.
Most likely a third party plug-in causing a problem, or corrupt preferences.
Perhaps try with safe settings to rule out the above?

Thanks Martin. I’ll have a look later and remove it from the tracks it’s on and see what happens.
as usual you’re knowledge and experience has been invaluable. Many thanks Martin.
I removed Nectar 3 from the tracks it was on.
I also had forgotten that, I’d set my M1 to run natively a few weeks ago: Big mistake as some 3rd party plugs are not ready for native yet and go to the blocklist - even though they are VST 3
That said, everything is working perfectly now as it should.
