Thanks - Larry - I updated mine - interesting that it insisted on me uninstalling the existing one first. I checked out Loom, Vacuum Pro and Xpand while I was there but I appear to have the current versions already thankfully

Hi Noel - thanks again for your help - I now have the case number - 336268 - and your colleague Freed has responded asking me to try both the VST 2 version as well as the VST 3 - I've done this and the same crash occurs on startup Re sample rates I have the default set at 44100 and never alter that in a project after opening so not sure that can be the issue? All I have done is open CbB, insert Iris 2, play a sound to check it is working, save, close and reload the project when it crashes. Interesting that scook has tried this and it works fine for him. It has opened a saved programme a couple of times for me but the vast majority of the time it crashes

Thanks very much Noel - I have an automatic acknowledgement but can't see a case number

Thanks very much Noel I will check that next time I'm on the PC. I've not knowingly changed sample rates but will investigate. I've sent the DMP file to support as advised above

Thanks very much for checking - I will!

Hi all I installed the latest version of Iris 2 - which has previously worked fine. I tried opening an project with it in and CbB crashed on opening. I opened a new project and inserted an instance of Iris - all fine. Saved the project and tried to reopen - crashed again. I've been in touch with Izotope support who told me to reinstall in safe mode but that did not help. I've gone back to them asking for any further advice but then tried Iris in Ableton Live 10 Lite. No problems in that DAW so seems to be a Cakewalk / Iris interface issue. Any ideas? Anyone had the same problem? I'm running the latest version of CbB and Windows 10 1909 Thought I'd check here before raising a support ticket with Bandlab

Ah - the Labs sounds are excellent!

Hey that's great - better than anything I have managed! Did you just use TTS or other sounds?

Another day another Spitfire update!

Sorry yes I meant programme changes - ie preset sounds. I tend to call those patches as I thought the terms were interchangeable but obviously not

Thanks - I'll stop looking for a setting to keep the window open then ? Yes probably a bug which effects some VSTis but not others. At least the Union problem seems to be solved! Thanks again for helping

Good progress today - I checked over at the Soundspot page last night and there was an update to Union which included 'Global CPU Optimisation' I've run through loads of patches today without a problem ? Also the Max Engine Load has peaked at around 108% rather than the 1,280% or so it was showing on old version. So fingers crossed that is that one sorted With Zampler I ran through the patches by clicking on the advance buttons on the GUI rather than using the scroll wheel on my APro 800 controller which is what I had been doing. No glitches and no huge Max Engine Load. Back to using the scroll wheel and the glitches reappear after around six patches - seems very weird but if that is what is causing the problem I'll stick to clicking rather than scrolling - though it is a bit of a pain! Not encountered this problem in any other synth that allows scrolling via controller. Thanks for your help. Hopefully the issues are resolved though it might still be worth me mentioning to the Cakewalk guys about the issue with Zampler By the way, on a totally seperate issue, one thing I find frustrating is that with some VSTi's the VSTi window is closed on loading the project even if it has been left open on saving previously - I can't see a setting to change this - is there one?

I'll try moving Zampler and it's patches onto the internal hard disc which I still use for other stuff and see if that solves it. At least I can rule that in or out then ?

Thanks for the help so far. Projects are on the external SSD - I replaced my internal HDD which previously had VSTs and projects on for the external SSD - I didn't really want to start fiddling round inside the case and thought with USB 3 and it being an SSD performance would be as good as previously I'm just using Windows Defender

My Zampler VST and presets are on an external SSD attached over USB 3. Union with which I have the same problem is a VST3 and so on my system drive in the default VST3 location - though I need to check where the presets for that are located when I am on the PC again tonight or tomorrow in case that is the issue if the samples are stored within the preset I have just been scrolling through presets on Voltage Modular and no problems with that - though I understand that is probably emulation based rather than sample based

Thanks Latest version of CbB and Thread Scheduling 2

Yes - this is one of the sets I have been trying. There is also a free set available through the free Beat Magazine https://sellfy.com/zamplersounds/p/the-trickster/ Much appreciated!

I tried this today but the same thing occurred - played a few different patches then stuttering started. As before if I changed focus away from CbB to Chrome and then went back to CbB and played the same patch again the stuttering didn't happen. Also if I turned the audio engine off and back on again, then play my controller keyboard, the stuttering stops - which will work as a temporary fix but a bit of a pain Another strange thing is that although the current Engine Load shown in the performance module stays within sensible figures changing patches causes the max Engine Load to rise up to over 1,000 percent - even when the patch changed to still plays fine

Thanks I'll try that tomorrow

Thanks ASIO 4 All is set at 2048 samples - the maximum available - it was the first thing I checked I did try WASAPI once but couldn't get it to work - presumably some incorrect settings - perhaps I need to try again

Yeah I know - sorry! Brain fade!

Sorry my answer to that should have been no - the audio engine is running but not the transport !

Which probably relates to my last comment?

Yes

Ah sorry - another revelation - if I go to chrome when I have had the stuttering and then back to CbB immediately stuttering stops!
