![]() ![]() I learned to do the following to keep Performer/Digital Performer running: The only crashes I had in Performer were usually traceable to MacOS or other software. When you learned how to do it, you could run either for months or years without a single crash. (Professional Composer, the first high-resolution score engraving software, ever) People often complained that Performer and Digital Performer were not very stable, but it was the Mac's operating system that created a poor environment for it. Like Stubbsonic, I've used it since the beginning, and was using MOTU software even before Performer. That being said.when I am able to get it running it has been quite stable so far and overall a pleasure to work with. Now that you are hunky dory, I hope you get a chance to see what we're all raving about.Īrthurputy wrote:I was under the impression that it was a particularly stable DAW but since I've been researching my issue I'm getting the impression that I may have been mistaken. It really is a wonderful DAW, and we want it to stay strong 'cuz we'd all hate to see it lose momentum. I'll see when I have time to get back to trouble-shooting again. It is also possible that I have a hardware issue, or some bizarre combination of factors that is rare. My latest troubles were not something that anyone at MOTU had seemed to have heard about. ![]() But new wrinkles seem to appear when Apple releases a new OS (which is more frequent now). Most folks are working at very high levels with the latest 8.07. And the general feeling was the 7.24 was a very stable release. I hesitated on DP8 for a long time because it seemed like it just wasn't quite ready. There were little bugs, but nothing huge. Once DP was in OS X, my DP experience got much more stable. Back in the OS 9 days, it was not a very stable app, and saving was a parachute you put on because you WERE jumping out of a plane. I've been a DP user since the VERY beginning (and pre-DP, on performer). Researching issues will likely bring them up, but doesn't give you a relative sense of it. Is this common with DP? I was under the impression that it was a particularly stable DAW but since I've been researching my issue I'm getting the impression that I may have been mistaken. I guess I could always just launch DP from a blank project.but the fact that the app just won't launch makes me extremely nervous about overall/long term stability. I'm pretty close to giving up on it unless anyone has some ideas. Again, maybe DP isn't to blame.something peculiar in my setup.who knows, but what I can say is that on this same system right now I an launch any of these programs 10 x consecutively and not experience a single crash: Ableton Live 9, Logic Pro X, Cubase Pro 8, Numerology, Machine. I had a block of time this morning (which is pretty rare) to just work on some creative and continue to test DP and instead all of it has been wasted. Perhaps the program is not at fault but I have spent more time now troubleshooting this issue than I think I have spent recovering from crashes in Cubase in total. I had every intention of purchasing DP but to be honest I don't know how I possibly can now. My demo was going pretty well (I guess the fact that it crashed on launch every time should have been a clear sign.but it would always eventually load). Then it suddenly worked.3 times in a row. On first few launch attempts (after enumerating plugins) DP didn't do anything.I click "Continue with Demo" and it just disappeared. Installed Onyx, ran all sorts of maintenance. I deleted the plugin caches and all other preference files. I moved everything back into the respective plugins folders. Update: I thought I had made some progress. ![]() I'm starting to feel really bad for saying Cubase 8 was too crash prone. Most bizarre thing I've encountered in a long time. It has loaded here and there but overall just crashes overwhelmingly. So I've moved all plugins (AU/VST/MAS) out of the default directories. ![]()
