I have a large project and Cubase crashes when trying to open. It also crashes when trying to open the most recent backup. A backup from an hour earlier opens.
I can see that it is crashing when tryign to load a track that contains Serum (one of many tracks that contain serum), and there is a lot of automation. If I open a new project and import tracks from this corrupted one minus that single track then those tracks import without issue. If I try and import the single track, Cubase crashes…ok-problem track identified.
I tried to remove the serum vst and then open the project-still crashes.
Does anyone have a recommendation on a way to get this project open? I don’t mind having to recreate the serum track, but I’d prefer to not lose the work from the other tracks that are working fine.
I did find a discussion on the forum that helped me make some progress. I renamed my VST folder and then reopened the project. This time it worked. So then I disabled the offending track and saved that as a new version named the VST folder back and now I can open that. There are 5 other VST plugins on that track and so I’m going to see if one of those is the culprit.
EDIT: ok-It seems to be the instance of Soundtoys Panman that is crashing it. Removed Panman from the VST folder and the project opens. I’ll check for an update.
