my cubase sx2 is crashing currently at the point of about once or twice every 15 minutes. Its generally when im trying to put in a new channel, opening another track, adding a new vsti, or sometimes just pressing the play button!
after it crashes, it proceeds to eat up memory at about 4mb a second until I end the process. Is anyone else experiencing this? Im tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of cubase - or go for Nuendo if thats more stable? |

| I've been told it is quite buggy indeed but I can't really confirm it since I haven't actually tried it out myself. |

slander!
I saw 2.0.1 came out recently, maybe thats worth a shot. Cant see a point release fixing these problems though. |

Hi! I am running sx 2.1, and i do not have any crushing. At list not so far. back when i had sx 1 i remember i occasionally had the software freeze, but i think it was mostly due to using too many soft synths.. Try reinstalling your cubase and check your windows instalation. Sometimes it's good to reinstall windows once in a while.. You may also have some hardware problem/conflict. Since it's really strange that it crushes like every 15 minutes or so.. Try updating your sound card drivers and look at all the setting in sx, maybe something has changed..
When i first installed my sx 2.01 I made a little arrangement about 8 audio track and fiew soft synths and i let the cubase play the arangement over night. I did it to see if it will crash or not..So next day when i came back from work the arangement was still runing perfect, without the computer crushing. I was really happy about it.. |

Had the same problem that was caused by an old vst instrument. If you have not rebuild yet, then try moving all of your vsts to another folder then move them back in one at a time to find the cuplrit ... or look at the device setup map and see what doesnt have a tick next to it. Seems Stieny changed their VST engine again :/
There is also an option to set a VST to 'old behavior' ... sometimes it works .. sometime it does not. |

| It can be crashy in the wrong circumstances. For example with a couple of VST plugins, it will crash like a madman. If you have a modern P4, try turning HyperThreading off, as this technology isn't completely implemented well in SX (neither Nuendo). |

I dont have a p4 sadly :(
The weird thing is, this 'track' is actually the track where im putting together my finished wav's. I do all my preproduction work in seperate projects, export them as wavs and then use this track as like my arrangment window. As an example of how frequently its crashing, ive only been on it for the last 5 minutes and its already bombed twice! Stressful. Format time I think. |

| I had troubles too until I got a music production only computer. The more extra stuff you have installed on your computer (word processing, games, etc.) the worse its going to be. Now I really don't have any problems, except for a couple of slow loads, which I usually just save and then reload whatever project I'm working on. It's definatly not perfect, but its working pretty much crash free now that its on its own machine. |

Bull. As long as they aren't running, and as long as you keep enough space free (for the windows swap file), you don't need to buy another computer just for production :rolleyes: .. If you were say, doing it for a living, I might do it for separation, or using specific hardware for your daw, and putting the expensive graphics card in your gaming box. But otherwise, if you know how to manage a computer, then you shouldn't have any reason to do that. Don't dispense knowledge if you do not know what you are talking about.
Mossy: Maybe you downloaded a bad cracked version.. :rolleyes:
