A few months ago, I switched from Logic Pro X (Mac) to Cubase 10 Pro PC. I have a very beefy brand new PC with 64 GB of memory, plenty of processing power and all SS drives, and yet I have almost constant problems with Cubase crashing. To avoid a lengthy question, I will pose just 2 of the many things that seem to consistently crash the system.
1) When I am done with a session, and want to shut down, I click the X in the top right corner. This shuts off the Cubase screens, and most of the open plugins, but leaves the white bar across the top. When I go to click the X again to shut off the program entirely, the Windows spinning blue circle indicating it is still processing keeps me from doing so. So I give it time by doing something else and coming back to it. I have come back as much as an hour later and its still spinning. The only way I can shut off Cubase is cntrl alt delete. I have tried alternate methods of shutting down, i.e., file, close session etc. and all produce the same results.
2) When I render a midi track in place (most of the time that in and of itself crashes the program), but 50% of the time when it doesn't, and it renders successfully, if I then want to shut off the plug in to save processing power and select no VST as an option from the dropdown box, it crashes 100% of the time.
Cubase tech support simply said trash the preferences, which I did. Took me the better part of an afternoon to fix the problems that created and it resolved nothing. They copied a couple of reports and said they would ask someone higher up the chain, and that's the last I heard from them. Its been over a week ago.
I no longer have the option of going back to Logic, but Cubase has been a nightmare... a typical session is 3-5 crashes. Anyone have any suggestions? (jumping out of the window is not an option)
