This has started to happen to me very often. When I’m in a project and I hit F3 to bring up the mixer Cubase freezes everything (and I have to turn off the computer using the physical button or cutting off the power).
Cubase 7.0.7 has been rather stabil for a few months and now this? I haven’t installed anything new recently so I have no idea how to fix this problem.
I must be a complete idiot. When I try to open Cubase in safe mode by holding shift+alt+control when opening Cubase 7 I only get a windows shortcut that opens preferences for the item I click (the shortcut to Cubase 7 or the cubase7.exe). Should I turn off the windows shortcut or how should I come around this? Or am I just doing it wrong (very likely).
All drivers and everything is up to date. My computer has had a full reinstall a couple of days ago, Windows, Cubase, all my plugins. Everything has been reinstalled and all drivers, firmware and whatnot is updated to the newest versions.
I am running Cubase without crashes now (the last couple of hours, which is longer than usual). I switched off the preferences, and it seems to work. I also changed from M-Audio’s designated driver for the ProFire 610 to Asio4All, which runs much smoother. No lag at all on my midi recordings - a problem that always occurred when I used M-Audio’s drivers.
