I had a 15 hour struggle in the studio recently. All my Cubase 7 (64 Bit) projects refused to load without crashing. Even projects that I was working on the very day before.
Fl studio full version free download for android. I re-installed, searched, cleaned, refreshed preferences, you name it, I tried it…
It is unwise to select the root of your hard drive, as FL Studio will search all the folders on your drive when it is looking for a file. NOTE: At any time you can open a standard Operating System (OS) browser and then drag compatible files or folders from the OS browser into FL Studio (FL Studio will add the folder to the Browser automatically). Go to the FL Studio download page and locate the latest installer file for your OS. If you already have the demo version installed, you can skip to Step 3. Open your Downloads folder and double-click the.exe file (PC) or.dmg file (Mac) and follow the on-screen instructions. Launch FL Studio, click Help, then select About. The only software I'm using is fl studio on win7.I'm increasingly using logic on osx along with the adobe range for design etc etc. I don't see why you wouldn't do it if you have the option? At the end of the day you could use a Commodore 64 with a tape deck for all I care.
15 hours later I was still unable to load any of my projects without Cubase disappearing into the dark depths where all dead project go.
The next morning I woke up and with a fresh head, found myself a cure within 30 minutes (based on the research I had done the day before). So I thought this would be worth sharing, as during my search I found many folks with similar trouble and no solution.
The first step was realising that if I removed the Waves plugins from my system the problem went away.
I found a post related to a different issue that suggested renaming the WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64 file. This file is found here and this put me on the right path:
C:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3
I renamed the file to WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64_BLAH.vst3
All my projects loaded again… But it is not over yet.
Waveshell crashes again and now the projects will not load again even with the renamed file, unless it was renamed yet again. Renaming it back to the original WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64.vst3 still causes crashes… What is going on?
I had already done a clean install of all related applications, Waves, Cubase etc., And also cleaned registry of everything that mentioned Waves before re-installing…
Finally I decided to search the registry for WaveShell-VST3… Low and behold the solution – A very odd registry key gets added if the Waveshell crashes. After which, any subsequent load of the Waveshell causes the host (Cubase) to crash.
How to find the key: Search registry for “WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64” and you will find the odd key with IgnoreFreeLibrary associated.
Do not search for AppCompatFlags as it will bring up tons of irrelevant stuff.
Here is my reg key area:
This may of course be different for another machine so it probably better to use the search method as mentioned above. Notice in my screenshot that Wavelab also had the same problem.
Bookmark this key and if you suffer this problem go back and DELETE the registry DATA contained in this key that relates to your DAW host.
Back It up first if you are concerned.
So anyone on Win 64 experiencing Waves crashes – And I mean total Waves crashes – ie. Nothing VST3 works. It may be worth checking.
I have contacted Waves and they are working on a solution.
OK that is all. Thank you and goodnight.
