Cubase

I did a update yesterday, and I leaved the application running in playing in loop mode over the night.

It only last little more than 4 hours on small project. Cubase memory usage was about 1.5 GB. So it was not out of memory.

Aloha c,

While looping, did your 'puter go into ‘Sleep/Screensaver’ mode during the night?

If so,
Try going into the ‘Energy Panel’ and make sure nothing is allowed
to go into ‘Sleep’ mode. (Computer,Hard drive etc)

Even your monitor should stay ‘on’ just like it 'would
if you were actually working at the computer.

Pressing keys/moving the mouse periodically should also be considered.

Disable all internet connections.

(In certain situations Bluetooth might also be problematic).

Then try the test.

Cron scripts running overnight might also cause probs.
