VariAudio makes Cubase non responsive on playback

MacBook Pro, M3 Max, 2TB, 64GB, Sonoma 14.7
24 Flack Tracks into 6 subgroups into the L&R output

Editing a track in VariAudio, select a bunch of notes (15) to hear, hit play button in the VariAudio window and Cubase locks up. I’ve only been editing for 20 minutes and it was a fresh Cubase session. Man this product is frustrating.

Hi,

Does it mean, Cubase freezes?

Did you mean the audio is in the FLAC file format?

If yes, I also have experienced weirdness when using FLAC audio files in Cubase - or even when exporting. And I’m running Cubase 13.0.41 on Win10.

I didn’t have patience to get into a deep troubleshooting required for a decent bug report, so I quickly gave up on using FLAC files with Cubase.


p.s. I’m also assuming that Cubase uses 3rd party code for at least some FLAC handling (FFMPEG?), and some problems might even be in that code ?
