Hey guys, I'm having serious crashes in a project whenever I open the CL xl, tweak it and then close the window my host crashes almost every time, I'm using Digital Performer 7.24 and OSX 10.7.3 4 gigs RAM a latest gen Mac Pro, MOTU PCIe 424 soundcard, any ideas ?

That's very strange, of course this shouldn't be. No clue right now, but we'll investigate, i think we have a few DP users, we'll possibly involve them to recreate the problem. Does this also happen in an empty song with no other plugins open?

I'm only guessing but I think it's a 32 vs 64 bit thing ?

Here's what I saw in the last crash :

I still have to test with an empty song, is there a way to open the plug in in 32 bit mode only ?

Unfortunately we do not have a DP license in our test environment.

I will prepare an OSX build for you within this week. To see if this fixes the behavior you have seen with DP.

Hi Alex, I never heard back from you guys and I'm still having lots of crashes with the CL plugin, I don't have it registered with my regular email but I'm a paying customer hope to hear from you soon

Big Rock AU is not validating under OSX 10.8.x. Any Idea?

I'm having some crashing in Digital Performer that I think is the CL series,
DP 7.24
Mac OS 10.6.8
vers 1.0.19

It also pops loudly when I hit the bypass button in DP. I don't use the bypass on the plugin because I can't see it.

So is there a fix for us DP users on Mac in the horizon ? Still crashing like crazy ...

Try sourcing a free VST host and activate in that, on Windows i found the host "VSThost" of which i used to activate some troublesome plugins, maybe they have an OSX version?

I am having some major bursts of white noise/digital clipping upon opening my projects that contain any of the CL compressors. It generally happens on projects which are hovering at or under the 50% CPU mark, but sometimes on very small projects. I am running Cubase 6.5.4, and the noise bursts happen on both Windows 7 and OSX 10.8.4 (every OSX since 10.8.2 which i started on).

My Windows machine is an i7 1.6GHz and my MacbookPro is an i7 2.7GHz.

When the project loads, there are (generally) 3 bursts, each one is approx double the length of the previous burst.

_ __ ____ each burst is about a second apart. And LOUD!!!!!

Hi Squigls,
we're already aware and on fixing this bug. Shouldn't be too long, hopefully.

Thanks for letting me know Nick!

Hello guys - I've been having some trouble with the AU version of the CL compressor in Tracktion.

We had a report from a user who said it was crashing, so I ran it up myself in the debugger, and AFAICT it just seems to be stomping over random bits of memory. This usually crashes pretty quickly, but even when it does keep running long enough to test, it produces silence.

Note - this is specific to OSX 32-bit, and only in the AU version, not the VST. You could reproduce it by just grabbing a copy of tracktion and loading up the plugin - it seems to go bang pretty much immediately.

Strangely, it works ok in the JUCE demo audio host, which obviously uses the same hosting code as tracktion, but I guess that if it's causing memory corruption, then the demo app may just be lucky enough to not get hit in any critical places.
