I haven’t added any VST for months, and it used to crash ‘only’ every once in a while. There’s no apparent trigger, can happen doing whatever, editing, playback, recording, rendering etc etc. I’m in the middle of recording an EP with paid artists and this is driving me insane, to say the least.
This project is mostly recorded audio, and VSTis are EZDrummer, MODOBass 2., SpitFire Audio Originals Epic Choir (2x), EWQL Symponic Orchestra (2x). A few VSTfx. See screenshot of Plugin Mgr:
I’ve frozen all VST instruments (except EZDrummer) and their channels and ticked ‘unload after freezing’, still crashes, can’t even export to audio. Upload the latest crash log dump with all VSTis frozen except EZDrummer:
Two of the crashes are in the MODO_BASS plug-in, two of them are in Cubase.
For the Cubase crashes, could you try in the Cubase Safe Start Mode [Disable preferences], please? If it doesnæt help, could you rename/remove all Cubase preferences folders, to get the factory settings?
Thanks for getting back to me. Quite a lot has
jappened since these 2 messages. I was caught in an infinite BSoD "BAD POOL CALLER loop on startup. So I disconnected all USB devices from the pc and identified the culprit, being an iLok dongle needed for EWQL Symphonic Orchestra and EQuivocate from Eventide. Now, it starts up, thank God. But all my output va rhe UR816C is jittery, distorted. Both Cubase or via a browser on YouTube etc, everything. And Export to Audio halts with a processor overload message (never ever had that before). I tried different physical USB ports, all related Windows and Yamaha drivers and UR816C firmware are up to date. I tried all settings in the Yamaha ASIO driver (USB 3 vs 2, buffer sizes, stable vs standard vs low latency etc) to no avail. What i also seem to notice (not sure) is that at startup the USB LED (directly left top of the large colume knob) doesn’t light up when I switch it on, only when the PC is powered on it lights up (not 100% sure whether that’s new balehaviour or not)
Modo bass is the worst plugin I ever paid money for. Any project with that plugin would reliably crash. Typically the crash would be in Cubase, not the plugin.
I’ve been using MODO Bass for a a number of years now and never had a crash, on three different PC builds.
I did however, start to experience crashes in Cubase with ST4 on one of the PC’s. Duplicated libraries turned out to be the cause. Deleting the duplicates quickly remedied the problem.
Hi tbey are. Literally every driver, every VST, every piece of software, the OS, the UR816C firmware, all up to date. Except, maybe some BIOS, dont dare to do that now.
Further development, the guy whobsold and configured my whoke system completely reinstalled the UR816C, deleted all old driver, tools etc. Outcome, still the same issue. .The seller couldn’t fix it so, as im in the middle of recording vocals and finalizing mixing of an 5 track EP, I can’t really afford to reinstall everything (Cubase, all VSTs etc) that’d be like starting mixing from scracth almost. I need stability. So, he then enabled and installed rhe onboard audio chip and i can now at least mix with a pair of heaphones.
But, it seems like I pointed the issue to completely correlated to or even causated by the USB system. When I plugged in my Line6 Helix (a guitar fx floorboard), I immediately got a blue screen. I do still get the occasional blue screen in Cubase now, but rhe issue always seems to be USB related (looking at the name of the faulty dll or whatever) ut For now, I think Cubase and the UR816C are off the hook. Its not solved and i don’t want to tag any posts here as the solution, but i think its fair to at least for now close this thread. If you all agree.
And i want to thank you Martin and all others who contributed here, you have no idea how awesome it is to have people think with you and try helping you out, so, THANK YOU!
