Mixbus crashing
#1
I must say I never saw such an unstable app like Mixbus.

Running Mixbus 7 with Vital (both legal versions) the app crashes constantly or makes my comp go BSOD. The rare times it works, the Vital plugin is horribly cracking or lagging - can't get the buffer/latenca ratio right. 

Last session it went BSOD, destroying all my recordings.

My system is a Intel i9-7900 3.3 GHz with 64 gb RAM, SSD and video GTX 1080 Ti - Premiere PRO works like a charm.

Any advice?

Hi damfa13 welcome to the Mixbus forum.
How does Mixbus run without vital ? There are reports of vital crashing on numerous platforms so I would do some research.
Link below suggests that there are issues with vst3 version in the windows environment.
Perhaps the thread should read vital crashing Mixbus ?

Well, it works better without Vital, but many of the "heavier" plugins are creating problems in buffer/latency, eg crackling, delay etc. I've tried with my EMU 04040 USB, with ASIO4ALL, MME - all the same.

Mixbus just now crashed during export to wav and now I can't even open the app (see attachements). Does it mean I have to install from scratch and have lost all my setup?

Hi there, please read about realtime - it has little to do with your absolute specs. Nearly every computer made within the recent 10 years can run Mixbus, given a few basic requirements are fulfilled.

You may get away with increasing buffer size.

As for "never seen such an unstable software" - really? I'm doing IT for a living and in most cases Windows misconfiguration is the problem or some software installed on it, and then in more that 60% of the cases it's actually their "license' management and mechanisms to block a user using it before he purchased a license - totally ridiculous. Your mentioned vendor Adobe being one of the worst there.

I would suggest you delete Mixbus preferences, reboot and launch Mixbus again. In it's first launch the programme will rebuild the preferences. Make sure you provide a valid location for projects. This exercise will trash any setup changes you may have made.

If you have not yet referenced the manual, may want to look at https://rsrc.harrisonconsoles.com/mixbus...on-windows
Also what buffer size are you running ?
