Cubase Freeze issue

[LeVzi]

Was working on a project earlier, moderate ASIO load, about 30%, then suddenly the meter goes in the red and stays there. Project plays at triple speed and skips then goes back to normal.

I can carry on working, then change focus to mixer and it happens again.

I checked around online for any answers and someone suggested it was a Freeze issue. Well i'd just frozen three tracks with various VST's on them. So I unfroze them and the problem went away. Refroze them, and it seems ok.

So my question is, has anyone had any issues with this and freezing ?

Sounds like your HDD has problem keeping up with reading the audio files from frozen VSTs. Try only with 1 and see if it's better. Then 2.

Honestly, I doubt this is the reason, as it's reading it off an SSD. The CPU / ASIO load meter is maxed and stays maxed but the HDD load is nothing and doesnt max. Unfreezing seems to have fixed this , there must be some issue freezing and unloading, but is fixed by doing it again... Maybe time to ask Steiny.

Good luck getting anything out of Steinber if you're not bloody Hans Zimmer

Anyway, perhaps just render the plugins, disable & hide the MIDI tracks for the time being?

I think that might be the answer tbh, just render the stuff in place, and hide the midi's as you said. But what a messy work around for something that should work better, lol they do brag about freeze.

Is the problem plugin-specific or does it happen with all and any of them?

Does definitely seem plugin specific, I was using Loom2 but had LFOtool as well.
