I’m running Cubase Pro 8 on a Macbook Pro (OS X Yosemite). Things generally run smoothly as expected. However, on occasion when opening a project that I’ve been working on, my system will hang while loading a project that I’ve been working on. Cubase will open fine and I’ll get the Hub page. It’s only when opening a project Cubase will SOMETIMES hang while loading a channel. The channels will vary – sometimes my bass channel will hang, sometimes my drums group channel will hang, etc. I will have to “Force Quit” Cubase and re-start and then re-open the project.
I typically use the same plug-ins from song-to-song: UAD, Sound Toys, Waves & Slate. NO VST instruments. My studio partner who works on a Window 7 PC experiences the same thing from time-to-time. Any ideas or known conflicts with certain plug-ins?
I get this all the time, and my plug-in folder is very streamlined, it’ normally a crap-shoot load a song, sometimes takes 2-4 times before it’ll load. I ‘think’ it’s Slate plug-ins that causes it but not sure.
I’ve actually went back to using v6 for work as i find that version the most solid release ever, compared to v7 and v8 it hardly ever crashes.
Hmmm…I agree that it seems to be a plug-in problem. I use the same set of plugs typically: UAD, Slate, Sound Toys and Waves in that order of frequency. I use the Slate Virtual Tape Machine in every project. My studio partner works on a Win7 PC and uses more Slate plugs as well as has a more exotic set of plugins – Nebula for example. I don’t know if it’s related but I also have problems opening projects from time-to-time. C8 will start normally with no issues and then I’ll start working on the last project I had open from the day before and I’ll get crashes where Cubase will ask me if I want to reopen or close. Very often I will have to re-start my system and open a different project, close that project and then open the project I wanted to open in the first place.
My partner told me that there was an iLok update as well as a UAD update. I’m going to try to update and see if it cures one or both of the problems. Oy…
I have this issue as well. Running Cubase 8.0.10 as the latest update screwed up my on screen preferences. I will open a project other than the one I want, then return to the original that will open most of the time after doing this roundabout. I was blaming it on a large number of Kontakt instruments in a template, but see that this might not be the culprit as you guys don’t seem to be using any vst instruments.
