Cubase 7 Crashing makes me want to jump off a bridge

[derekmoffat]

Anyone else having problems with Cubase 7 crashing while loading certain projects? I've tried the trick of loading a new project, then loading the project I need, not activating it, and then exiting out of the new project. Sometimes it works with certain projects, but some projects of mine just don't work anymore. In the past I've had to delete some tracks while the project is inactivated to get around it. It's not a plugin or VSTi issue. It will even crash loading a blank audio track, so I delete it, try again, and it crashes on the track that was next to it.

Why am I having these issues? I've had them for the past 8 months since I installed it but really can't afford to have this shit going on anymore. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I'm on Windows 7 64bit

Same here... tried to open some old projects i did last year and cubase crashes. They were made with Cubase 7 (Win 7 64bit). The only working way is to open them in Cubase 6. But that is a really bad compromise. Did you contact the Steinberg support?

Thinking about learning Cubase 7 because 6.5 isn't compatible with Mavericks makes me want to jump off a bridge. New version is ugly as shit .

7.5.1 64bit on W7 64bit working fine here.
Only thing I noticed is it doesn't seem to like 32 bit plugins and Jbridge isn't stable enough. I removed the path to 32 bit plugins and I can open old projects witout a problem (except missing plugins when there is no 64 bit version installed).
Didn't like the interface at first but I got used to it and there are many features that considerably improved my workflow.

I'm on 7.5.1 64bit too (W7 64bit). Only had crashes when I use excessive amount of 32bit plugins (JBridge), Cubase's own bridge crashed every time when using them.

PS. Am I the only one who likes the GUI of Cubase 7?

You're not alone!

Had that happening with 7.5. Especially when loading the reverence reverb, always crashed. Also had the most annoying thing happening - each time I was starting to save too often (as I do sometimes start to press ctr-s 60 times per minute ) it was freezing. Yesterday applied the latest update from Steinberg's site and all these issues are gone. Happy customer here now

I will not repeat myself here, but there is an ultimate solution to all your Cubase crashing problems which i took a good few years ago.

btw. About that bridge thing...

+1. Finally jumped ship and went to Studio One 2 (if I was going to have to learn something new anyway). Really glad I did.

Moving to Studio One will be the absolute last thing I do - I'd probably move to Reaper before that. I've got enough compatibility issues running Cubase in a Logic/PT dominated world.

I use two reverb plugins and one of them is the REVerence, it never crashes my projects.

 

[~BURNY~]

I'm pretty sure most issues come from 32 to 64 bit transition.

Beside I'm not one to sing praise for any given software/hardware for no reason, especially not coming from Steinberg but fact is I like Cubase MORE since I updated to 7.xx.

You deserve a crash then
Why the hell do you save every second? You can even work in the time between

Good point. I also get crashes in Cubase 6 from the bridging. Not really because of other reasons

I don't suppose you don't know there's an autosave feature...?

The only crashes I have is with Slate trigger. I can reproduce the crash without fail every time.

It's been there since version 6 though.

Kinda silly but it is a habit from other codes or softwares. Hard to leave them out when working on cubase

Have mine set for each 15 min.

Is it where you remove it from the project and it crashes? I fucking hate that one.
