Air Plugins crash my PT9 100%
 

Attempting to instantiate any Air plugin causes PT9 to hang with a SBOD. Console reports a malloc error at the same time. This is true on any of the the demo sessions as well as a clean empty session.

This was a virgin install of PT as no prior versions ever existed on this machine. 2x 2.8 ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 8 GB RAM.

Doesn't seem to matter if its a reverb, dynamics or any other.

I am running a MH ULN8 with no other hardware.

Any ideas?

I am running in 32 bit mode.

Hold the shift key while opening the session that will hard bypass all the plug-ins.

Good advice but I think he's refering to when the session is already open.

Can you remove all plug-ins but the AIR to the unused folder, delete the prefs, reboot and launch again. What happens?

Re: Air Plugins crash my PT9 100%
 

tried that. No help. Thanks for the suggestion.

Have you tried repairing permisions? Deleting the prefs? Rerunning the PT9 installer?

Re: Air Plugins crash my PT9 100%
 

No, yes and yes. Thanks

Which playback device are you using?

Re: Air Plugins crash my PT9 100%
 

I tried internal audio via the PT supplied aggregate and my ULN8 via the metric halo drivers.

It seems thesis only an issue in my primary Audio user account. I don't actually use this particular machine for anything other than music anyway.

Anyway I have no issue with air plugins when I install PT in different user account on the same machine.


This also seems to be true for the hard crash problem I am having when I try to create any send on any channel. I spent way too many hours trying to eliminate background processes last night without luck so far.
