Laurence Levin Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 I'm getting frequent crashes during playback of a mix, and there's no ability to recover my work - it happens when I play and pause my work, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do. Right now, I've done some pretty big CWBBL projects on this computer. Now I'm just doing a 6 track MIDI with EZ Drummer, and it's crashing all the time. Thanks!

Laurence Levin Posted October 23, 2022 Author Posted October 23, 2022 Thanks. I did have a second VST3 plugin loaded, and CWBBL was crashing every second. I'm still getting unexpected crashes about every hour, so I have to constantly save my work. I wish this program was more stable and at least auto recover when it crashes. I assume there must be issues with my system because I doubt everyone has this problem.

Check your Cakewalk Plug-in Manager. Or Preferences>VST Settings>uncheck 'Hide Related VST 2 Plug-ins'. 1

Are there any advantages and disadvantages to opting for the VST2 version?
57Gregy Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 I am certainly no expert on plug-ins; I rarely use any. If you believe the advertising, the VST3s are "better". You can probably find and compare their specs somewhere on the internet. Use what works. 1
Noel Borthwick Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 If Cakewalk is crashing it should be producing a dump file. Find it (the crash dialog will link it) and send it to us and we can investigate what caused it. 1

Lately, when CWBBL does crash, usually during transport, it just hangs and then crashes. Unfortunately, there isn't any recovered file or dialogue box when I reopen the program. I'm glad I reached out. I'll try VST2 for future projects. Thanks!
