Hi there!
In the last few days i've had massive problems with Cubase 5.
My OS is Windows 7 x64, and my audio interface is a Cakewalk UA-25EX.
I've never had too many problems (just some crashes), but in the last few days cubase it's making me feel miserable
1) I connect my audio interface, then I start Cubase (as usual), but it won't load!! Freezing at initialization: vst audio system
I try to force the exit from the program (also trying to kill directly the process), but it just stay freezed. If I try to shut down the pc, windows will just stay eternally in the screen "shuting down windows"...so the only solution it's a forced shut down holding the power button.
I already tried to re-install my audio interface's driver...it worked at first, but then same old story.
2) Cubase starts, I open the project I'm currently working on, BUT it won't load! it freezes during the mixer loading!!
I've read about a workaround: creating a new project, opening the faulty project without activating it, closing the new project, and activating the fautly one. This worked a couple of times today, but when i tried to do the same thing later, I couldn't load the project anyhow.
only solution it's a forced shutdown holding the pwr button!
3) if God wants, sometimes I can work for some hours, but then of course I need to close Cubase...well, it won't close! same as before...the only solution it's a forced shutdown holding the pwr button!
Usually after point 2 and 3, I'll have the error in point 1. (when i restart the pc, I do it with the audio interface disconnected, since I read it's a better thing to do).
All this is really driving me insane...1st cause i can't work on a recording I'm doing in these days, 2nd cause I've to shut down my pc 100 times, and that's not good.
My opinion, there's something wrong with some plugin. I should probably reinstall everything, but it will take forever because of all the plugins, so I'd prefer finding a solution.
Thanks,
Alessandro
