They would not give me a copy of r3 - r6 to test, either.

I called Waves and they were not convinced it’s their problem. Problem does not happen with r7 in a blank Cubase project, which either points to a bug in r7 that only manifests when projects get large, or it could be entirely a Cubase bug that somehow r7 triggers, or it could be a corrupt Cubase project (if that is possible).Įither way, cataylst-only or not, r2 effectively solves the problem. If I install an older r2 version, problem goes away. Yup, StudioRack r7 triggers the crash-on-quit. I’m sure other Cubase installs, on the same platform, with the same “offender” (and at the same version), might not exhibit the issue. This was the one time I didn’t test each update separately (of course), so I don’t know which of the two is to “blame.”īlame in quotes, because I suspect the offender was only a catalyst / trigger of an underlying issue that Cubase needs to fix, themselves. No other possibility, in my particular case, because nothing else was touched. In programming speak, it seems to me that this is some kind of asynchronous “race condition” in which resources, drivers or APIs being closed, make their dependencies unhappy.Īnyway, it’s not a huge deal to manually browse and select the most recently saved project, but I’d like to track this issue down.Īs for the triggers, I keep a meticulously detailed log of everything I update, even Windows updates, and the offender was either the latest Softube update, or the very new v9r27 Waves update.

The fact that this is possible at all seems significant and might be an important clue to any developers trying to fix this. In other words, I’ve mostly lost my recent projects list on startup, but one will survive, once in a while, and will show up in the recent projects list at startup. The crashing on exit is 100% of the time, but the last saved project being saved to the recent list only happens about 95% of the time.

Question for others experiencing this long-standing Cubase phenomena: is it corrupting your recent projects file list, too? I had been enjoying that “Recent Projects” browsers at launch, in the Hub, but now that Cubase is crashing on exit again, it seems to never save this detail correctly. It was a good run, but now I’m back to the usual problem. I had been crash-free on Quit/Exit of Cubase for almost a year.
