Studio One 7 issues

[Yluko]

I joined this forum cause I am running into a few issues, for me studio one has been fairly stable since I started using it, version four. In seven I’ve had allot more crashes in general. I’ve switched to a new computer m1 to m4, changed sound cards from ssl big six to rme, I heard they have more stable drivers. Updated all my plugins. It’s random what crashes it, I can’t point to one thing. My clients all use studio one and they have different hardware more simple then me and they also complain about it crashing allot, all different sound cards all on Mac’s. Many of them with less plugins than me. It can crash doing nothing leaving it on, dragging a plugin to load, doesn’t matter what plugin. Just random playback. Anyone else have such issues? I’d average 15 -30 crashes a week I’d say.

Hi Yluko, welcome to the forum!

The 7.2.2 thread is almost 2 months old, also your discussion is not related to Studio One 7.2.2. Please create new threads for new discussions. I'm going to move this post to a new thread.

According to the best practices here in the forum, please add your specs to your signature. Otherwise, we don’t know which version and OS you are using.

Crash issues are tricky. If Studio One does not tell you which plug-in caused the crash at the next start-up, you will need to find out yourself by removing some plug-ins from your song and seeing if the problem persists. (Make a copy of your song for this. It's important that you really entirely remove the plug-in from your song. Bypassing or disabling is not enough, the plug-in will still be running.)

Also: Do you use AU versions of your plug-ins? The common recommendation is to avoid using AU plug-ins in Studio One.

Also, after adding your specs to your sig (important), please add useful details/specifics.

....It’s random what crashes it, I can’t point to one thing.

Knowing what your adding and how, can be vitally important. i.e, what effect or instrument? Is it VST2, VST3, AU, or other? It can potentially matter.

My clients all use studio one and they have different hardware more simple then me and they also complain about it crashing allot, all different sound cards all on Mac’s. Many of them with less plugins than me.

Useless information. Particularly when a good number of users here have Macs of many different types without a problem. So how does that information bolster your issue? It doesn't.

It can crash doing nothing leaving it on, dragging a plugin to load, doesn’t matter what plugin. Just random playback.

So far, what youre dealing with sounds highly unstable. So providing your specs, and actual details by line item will greatly help getting your system, and the Studio One experience to be much more rock solid. For all we know, you're dragging in wrong file types. You may not be, but we don't yet know a single clear description.
Then afterwards, you would benefit by giving your clients solid advice. Or suggest to them to use this forum for their own issues.

Anyone else have such issues? I’d average 15 -30 crashes a week I’d say.

Again, no indication of what is specifically crashing. "Such issues" really won't be the norm for most others. So feel free to keep (your) issues short, separate, and specific. We'd be glad to help you.
Thx.

Have had 3 crashes since 2011. All due to plugins. As noted Studio One is VERY stable if you give it the proper playground.

I do not use a Mac but I am a devoted RME fan (since 2008). My specs are below...

But 20-30 crashes per week? Sounds like either a very dodgy set of plugins (most likely AU) or something hardware related.

Do not for a moment rule out your hardware - just because Apple built it - does not make it bulletproof.

I really have no idea but I know for sure that Studio One absolutely does not like some GPU cards. I'm just chucking that out there.
