Why Your DAW Crashes And How To Fix It

[@petercornell2002]

In 30 years of Protools, I have learned to save after EVERY edit.

100% agree! I'm a beta tester for many large and small developers and you are spot on! Most of the people on the teams don't belong there. They don't read the release notes, they don't submit reports, and they barely comment/particapate in the groups. It's a shame really because I always feel bad when a product I helped work on gets released and 3 days later we are beta testing a new version. That tells me bugs were missed! Which they shouldn't have been.

It is always a plugin and sometimes it takes a while before you realise which one exactly. Last one was Scaler after an Ableton minor version update... then Scaler released an update 6 weeks later, solved. It's often an interaction between plugins and a newer update of a DAW. Not always directly in sync for unknown reasons...

I guess I've been lucky because I've never had crashing issues with any of the DAWs I've used until the last several versions of Studio One Pro. This isn't a bash Presonus comment because I love Studio One but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to stop crashing. They've actually built in crashing investigation tools but I've yet to find a definitive cause. Frustrating.

As a Bitwig user, crashing just isn't a thing in our world really, at worst the offending plugin crashes in its own sandbox, Bitwig tells you it did and you reload just the plugin that crashed. Bitwig is like one of those Boston Dynamics robotic mules , you can keep kicking it and it won't ever fall over.

The komplete kontrol update has rendered my DAW useless. All my previous saved projects won't load now and it closes my DAW immediately. I have no idea what to do.

[@rollandjoeseph]

Maybe uninstall?

[@rollandjoeseph]

Thx, this make great sense! What if you can't remove plug ins from your folder? I downloaded a "pack" of free plug ins from a reputable company and the total space was over 1gig worth of plug ins.. i can't use any of them because of some reason ( registration perhaps). Thx

Poor Pro Tools users. Their suffering is unmanageable, sorry😂

[@briguy1960]

It is actually very rare to have problems

[@BIGLARRY100]

Acid always crashes & it's plug-ins. Reaper never crashes. At least for me.

[@rik-keymusic160]

I don’t know but my mac just can’t handle native instruments kontact… i just trie to load up 3 instruments but he just crashes logic. I think my mac is just not good enough for music project.

[@Ksns88292]
