Cubase crashes after trying to export, bounce or render in place

Hi @ciciilica

Let me try to summarize my understanding of this case:
You are using osx Ventura with a MOTU M2 interface

  1. You were able to use render in place, bounce or audio mixdown several times successfully in this project
  2. All of a sudden, Cubase would freeze when you would try one of these operations. However, it only freezes in that particular project. It doesn‘t happen in other projects
  3. A new problem pops up: you are not able to open the project anymore. But you can open other projects.

Is this correct?

  • Try to remember what you did between 1 and 2.
  • When you weren’t able to render anymore, was it still possible to open the project for a period of time?

You could try the following as the problem only occurs in one specific project

Ventura and audio interface drivers: Do you use the latest drivers? If so, try older drivers, especially Kernel Extension drivers if available:

A screenshot of your configured in- and outputs under audio connections could be helpful.
