I have it installed but the damn thing freezes/closes and give the microsoft error report thing every time I try to start it up. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Have you checked on www.buzzmachines.com for help? Haven't had a similar problem myself, though the program is quite buggy =P

Yeah Buzz is a weird program, even the installation process screwed up for me.

Never in the history of buzz could I get a version of it to work/load. Right now I'm downloading the Buzzmachines_massivepack_2004.exe. If I can't get it to work, I'll never bother trying again

OMG! It's working! Now I just have to figure out who to load samples and VSTs.

load samples: F9

load VST: use polac VST loader http://www.xlutop.com/buzz

Guess what? Today when I started using buzz the same thing happened. It opened but then it crashed giving me the typical microsoft error report. But I figured out how to not make it crash. Do this:

quote:

To force Buzz to run in compatibility mode, you have to create a shortcut to "Buzz.exe" (on the desktop, in the start menu, whereever). Right click the shortcut & select "Properties" (last entry in the context menu). You see a tab "Compatibility". Click the checkbox to activate the compatibilty mode & set it to NT4SP5 (in the dropdown menu).

Worked fine after that

Buzz itself doesn not need compatibility mode, but some old machines do

Also, delete 11-Midi CC Out.dll, it is one of the most common startup crash sources.

nasty nasty buzz bugs, how I wish the developers didnt lose their code.



psycle looks promising, so does this aerio(sp?) modular tracker that supposedly also has a piano roll in it. They both use the same machine layout view that buzz uses.

both of them are still infants compared to buzz though, hopefully they will get more powerfull soon.

Wayfinder, I take it you use Buzz?

Either way, the user interface is too prehestoric. Reminds me of a little program from the mid mid-late 90's called fastracker. If they could get someone to design a user friendly interface for it, it might may just rival the commercial sequencers out there.

thats becuase its a tracker. thats how alot of earlier production software was. nothing wrong with it just makes for a differnt kind of work flow as oppused to a studio emulation setup.
