I made the mistake of keeping all my software current. Some people might say that’s actually not a mistake but what you are supposed to do, but we know that sometimes software engineers screw up like anybody else, especially with tens of thousands of lines of code.
So every few days I launch Native Access and if there’s anything to update, I do. And just like that I updated Kontakt 7, and now it’s messing up Cubase and Nuendo. I tested the same project on both and it’s there’s no difference. But I wanted to check with other users to see if this is happening to everybody or not.
If you create a new track with Kontakt 7 , or assign it to any track, then open its window (the one that holds the instrument’s GUI), there’s a good chance the whole system becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. For starters, today I noticed something that definitely never happened before: shortly after clicking on the Cubase or Nuendo icons on the dock, the system freezes to the extent that you can’t even move the mouse pointer. Then it unfreezes as soon as the welcome screen appears.
This behavior also happens if you opened the Kontakt window and you move it around to make space for something else. You start moving it and within a second of two, the window freezes. In this case, if you do Cmd+Tab to switch to the last app and then again to come back to Cubase, it unfreezes. But if you move it again, then freezes again.
I couldn’t say if this is happened in Windows too, I’m on macOS Sonoma current version, Apple Silicon Mac.
Is this happening to anyone else?
