Hi folks! I have a previous Cubase version project which I am not able to open on Cubase 12. It starts to load the project but it stops loading a specific channel from it. I am pretty sure that it is some VST that is in this channel that is doing that, but I don’t have any clue on how to troubleshoot that in order to know what is “locking” the project to be loaded. Any clue?
It’s an old remedy.
Temp rename your plug-in folders. Restart and load.
You’ll then see which plugins are missing.
Rename them back 1 or 2 at a time. You get the idea I think.
The other thing would be to open a new project and try to “import tracks from project” from the project you are having trouble with.

@Phil_Pendlebury thanks a lot for the reply and sorry for the huge delay. I upgrade to Cubase 12 and magically it is not freezing anymore! But learned a nice trick in case I end up falling into the same scenario! Thank you!

I have had this problem since Cubase 10 on a daily basis. I upgraded to Cubase 12, 13 and 14 over the years on 2 different strong macs hoping this problem will stop. To this day I am suffering with this crap. I am looking at a “Loading channel: Stereo Out” message for over 10 minutes now while writing this comment.
I have tried that plugin elimination method dozens of times. I come up with different “faulty” plugins each time. Feels more like Cubase can’t handle other party plugins. Worth to mention that I also have Pro Tools installed on my computer, and never have this weird problem with the same plugin vendors installed (not VST3 in that case but AAX). If Cubase can’t enforce opening VST3 then there is something wrong with how Cubase is managing faulty VST3. It should have a timeout and at least open the project reporting a bad VST3 that couldn’t open. Not letting me sit and wait and restart my computer and mess around troubleshooting and wandering around at community forums to seek for a solution. This is a huge inspiration breaker.
Cubase suck.

100% agree, no problem with Bitwig, a superior daw. Even Nuendo 14 has this same crap.
