Jeremy Fox Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Greetings, In the latest release, I believe there is a memory leak or something going on related to exporting. If I export a section of a project and leave the software running for some hours, when I return and click anywhere in Cakewalk, it will immediately crash (go white). Feels like a memory leak. This seems to ONLY happen after exporting something (in my case, to MP3). When I leave the software running for hours, without having exported anything, it doesn't crash. That's the way it seems over here, anyway! -Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Fox Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 Render Buffer size was already set to Playback Size. Plugin Flushing was set to 20. I set it to 0. (What does this do, exactly?) We'll see how it goes! Thanks. -Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When set to 20, it's the equivalent of 20 seconds of silence. This is to ensure that things like reverb tails are cleared before moving on to the next export. Some plugins get upset with the plugin flushing, so setting it to 0 essentially disables it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Fox Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Interesting. Thanks. Well, that seems to have done the trick. I did an export before work. Came back afterwards, no crash. Many thanks! -Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be useful to know which plugin is causing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Fox Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Can you point me to instructions to capture the crash dump? -Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herky Acuff Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Thank you for the plug-in flushing setting change. I was also getting surprise crashes when freezing midi tracks - in addition to exporting. Setting it to zero fixed that, both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
