Hi there;
I’ve been using Cubase since VST 3.5 and have never found Cubase - in any of its iterations - to be unstable.
Suddenly, I’m getting crashing on more than one project, and other curious behaviour. I have tried re-installing Cubase.
Crash dumps reproduced below.
Yesterday - a bunch of midi tracks all going through HalionOne. I activated an insert on an audio input and produced a crash.

A few days ago - a project of some midi tracks with various VSTi’s - setting up an audio track to record. I think it was while I was in VST connections setting inputs.

A couple of days prior - same project as #2 above - trying to get retrologue synth to work. At first, it couldn’t find Retrologue - or the name would come up but the synth wouldn’t load. Then I opened Retrologue up in another project to make sure it worked, and it did. I went back to this project, loaded it up again and it worked… for a bit… then crashed.

A day or so before all this, I had some other similar crashing issues. I thought I had traced it down to a plugin that had started to misbehave (a ping-pong delay, I think…). I got the track back up and going by re-naming the VST plugin folder, starting the project, turning off the plugin, closing cubase, reverting the VST plugin folder to its original name, and then re-launching cubase. After a bit of things like that was when I re-installed cubase.
When I loaded up the debug files, I was hoping to find something a little more concrete than what I have. Does anyone see anything here that can help me?
Thanks!
Chris
