This doesn’t work for me. Assuming preferences is “UserPreferences.xml” in /Library/Preferences/ under my home directory. I delete it and it still crashes when its loading.
You might actually see where cubase crash during the splashscreen. You can bypass the plugin in a safe boot, dont remember the keycombo for that, or, just remove the plugin folder and try restart cubase. Also you can open the console app on your mac and see what causing the crash from the logfile.
Thank you! If I could get a list of the blacklisted plugins, that would help, But when I rename the VST folder, Cubase loads but also resets the blacklist. I have a lot of plugins and nothing shows up in the log file or console that I can see.
Thanks a lot hjwinge! I added plugins one at a time and found the offending plugin. Was surprised (or maybe I wasn’t surprised at all) that it was Komplete Kontrol.vst causing the crash. In addition to this, I discovered that the latest Melodyne Essential 4 is blacklisted. Must check into that as well. But for now, 9.0.3 is opening again at least. Thanks for the guidance!
Yes, have been on to stienberg about but haven’t heard anything yet. i tried upgrading to 9.5 at a cost of £51, with the same problem. it seems to crash every time when it comes to loading the mixer.
I don’t know about you but I had the same thing where it crashed at the mixer and for me it was Komplete Kontrol.vst plugin (version 1.9.1). Once I removed that, it started fine.
