Hi, I worked for a week or so with Cubase 7.5 (upgraded from C6) and now it crashes constantly. Mostly when I
edit an UAD plugin. I installed the last version of Cubase Cubase (7.5.30) and the last UAD software / Firmware.
I dumped the Preferences and had Cubase rebuilt them, now I really don’t know what to try anymore. Any Suggestions?
I work on an 2008 Mac Pro, 2x2.8 GHz Quad core, Mountain Lion10,8,5, Rosetta 800, Big Ben,
Here it one of the crash reports:
… contacted UAudio and they said, they will consult their knowledge base. Did the permission repair,
unfortunately does not make a difference.
One interesting thing I just found out, namely that in Ableton the UAD Plugins work fine, I can edit them and nothing crashes. But in Cubase they load (when I open up older sessions) and process the audio fine as well, but as soon as I open one plugin up and turn a know or so, it takes 1 to 5 seconds and C7.5 crashes … must be Cubase then, no?
So it’s not just me! I’ve been able to use one UAD plug-ins with no problems (Pultec) but when I load the 1176N, click on it once to edit, Cubase crashes. Anybody figure this one out yet? From other posts, it looks like this is due to a conflict? I’m using Cubase Elements 7.
My experience with 7.5.30 on the Mac is that it is quite buggy. I installed that version and started having lots of problems. Since I rolled back to 7.5.20, things have gone well. I had 7.5.20 before 7.5.30 so I am not sure it will work for you, but I deleted the Cubase 7.5 file from the applications folder and then installed 7.5.20 and it worked.
I think that it is safe to say that 7.5.3 has been a problem for many a Cubase fan. I have rolled back as well. I really hope that they get an update out soon. Seems to be taking a minute.
One of the problems (which has been confirmed by Steinberg) was that the midi timecode sync, when turned on for external instruments, cause major problems. Frankly, I am surprised that more people have not noticed this. I am beginning to think that no one uses traditional hardware anymore.
My UAD/C7 crashing was very noticeable/frequent with 7.5.2.
Anybody figure this one out yet? From other posts, it looks like this is due to a conflict?
I don’t believe it’s with any one specific UAD plug-in. The instability is very random here. Again, seems to occur mostly when closing a UAD GUI window.
I’m having huge issues as well. I installed 7.5.3 hoping it would resolve them but it made things worse. Cubase is quitting randomly in the middle of songs, no rhyme or reason to it at all.
I am using UAD as well. The GUI for the plugins disappear and i have to close and reopen the windows to see them again.
Also randomly, whenever I edit anything on screen (cutting, dragging, ANYTHING!!) the whole screen turns white so I can’t see what i’m doing. Rebooting the program helps for a little while.
Very frustrating not to mention totally unusable. I’ve been with cubase since VST3.6 and this is the worst it has been, at least in my experience.
I get very frequent (3 times a day). When I do a Win Debug and trace through the Crashdumps it usually points to VARIOUS UAD plugins. (API Vision, Fairchild 670 are two that come up a lot but thats cause I use them a lot). Anyway it points really to either a UAD software framework problem for plugins or a UAD driver problem. Because I use Windows on a BOOTCAMP MAC all the support replies from Steinberg and Universal Audio say they wont support me doing that… so…
I’m interested to know others are having similar problems.
