So I was trying to open a project that I have been working on, but then when it loaded to "86" it just crashed. Other projects would load perfectly fine, could this happen because I have too many plugins? I'm just a newbie trying to make music and if the problem IS too many plugins, how do I fix it then, can the project still be saved?

EDIT: not sure if you seen my initial post, but I made a mistake... hmmm your .log file doesn't actually show the culprit , i.e what plugin is crashing, if it is infact a plugin causing the issue.

What you could try is editing the project's *.tracktionedit file in a text editor and maybe commenting out 1 plugin at a time , save then try loading the project.

I do notice that Roland Piano is the last plugin to load before the crash, so it is possible that is your culprit.

If you know how to manually change with a text editor the content in a plain text file formatted in XML format, then you could try the following.
Find the file which contains the definition and configuration of the particular Edit in question:

Code: Select all

    *.tracktionedit

In there you will find each plugin used in the Edit to be specified in a paragraph enclosed by delimiters (substitute "..." with the particular definitions):

Code: Select all

    <PLUGIN type= ... >
    </PLUGIN>

While all by Waveform itself delivered plugins, which shouldn't cause an issue, are defined by a Waveform particular type specifier, for example:

Code: Select all

    type="volume"
    type="level"
    type="auxsend"
    type="auxreturn"
    type="rack"
    etc.

The third party plugins are found by a more general specifier, often generically being of type="vst":

Code: Select all

    <PLUGIN type="vst" ... >
    </PLUGIN>

Remove from the Edit the third party VST plugins which could be suspected to cause an issue.

Good Luck!

Thanks everyone for helping me! My project now can be opened and it turned out the problem is a VSCO plugin lmao

That's a surprise. I find those very stable. Any other VSCO plugins crashing, or just the one?

There's only one track with a VSCO plugin...
