PT 9 Crashes All The Time When Working with VI's
 

I have been Mixing a lot and 9 seems pretty stable there, but I haven't push 9 creatively yet. So far a BIG FAIL

The Way I make money is Producing Music for others and Mixing. I am now in writing Mode. Last night I worked on a session that crashed about 8 times. I also Got the Gray Curtain of Death like 3 times before completing. It is such a Creative Buzz Kill. It makes me so Angry!!!!! I must lash out. You release 9 charges us more than ever and Don't improve VI handling for SH%T

Every Time it crashes I will update this Thread!!!

This is what I am using in my Template that I start from. All VI's are up to date!!

PT9
HD2
Mac 2.4 2010 8 core
OS 10.6.5

VI's
BPM 1.5
Transfuser 1.3
Nexus 2.2
Kore 2.12
Maschine 1.5.1
Reaktor 5.5.1
Massive 1.1.5
Structure 1.1
Hybrid 1.6

Midi
Axiom Pro 49
MPC5000
Blofeld
SE1x
Matrix 1000

I do use more VI's as the session gets going but this is my starting point. Am I kidding myself that PT will ever be a writing tool?
Here we go
DTS do you want me to post the Crash repot everytime too?

Surprise it Crashed!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel your pain, at least you have managed to get PT9 to see your interfaces.
maybe try disabling some of the instrument tracks individually (just for a while) to determine which one is causing the crash, then write it to audio.
not the best but maybe a work around..

My world.....

Creative = Logic or Cubase or Live

Mix and Audio: ProTools......

Hi,

For a start you are using an unsupported operating system 10.6.5 has not been qualified and i'll guarantee most of those VI's have not been tested either on 10.6.5 Yes lots of people will say it shouldn't be a problem but there have been issues with incremental updates in the past, and we have had to skip those versions because of issues.

You need to check your crash reports!! and check which thread has crashed??? it might tell what has caused the crash and it might just be one of the plugins and NOT pro tools itself.

Crash logs can be found in system drive/users/your name/library/logs/diagnostic reports. it will say which thread has caused the crash. so copy paste that thread here!!!

I can tell you that Maschine and other NI plug-ins cause me more crashes than any of the of the others in your list. I can go over a week of constant use with no crashes, then add Maschine into the mix and inevitably PT will eventually crash soon after. I've noticed that it's not a good idea to browse through sounds or kits in Maschine while the transport is running.

I compose exclusively in Pro Tools and generally have little trouble most of the time. I run Bidule and VEPro on slave machines for most of my instruments.

Re: PT 9 Crashes All The Time When Working with VI's
 

only one VI in a session and possibly avoid kontakt and sci-fi plugs like NI
they are the top in the crashing list, your story is exactly like mine:
i stay on PTHD and my dealer when i talk about the continuos crash told me to upgrade to PT 9, well i will wait till 12 if they still there!!!
