This has been known to cause crash on quit in DP.

That was definitely worth a chuckle.To ensure an absolutely, 100%, crash-free DP experience, my advice is don't launch DP You can still look at the icon in the dock........
Yes, I'm beginning to think this is the root of some of the problems I've been having as well. I'm working on mixing an album right now and using multiple instances of TTD plugs running under Pluggo. Despite the obvious crashes I've had when closing Hydratone, I'm afraid Pluggo is destabilizing my system.scooter wrote:I have to say my biggest potential problems come from adding in third party plug ins. The more I add, the more problems (crashing, sluggishness) can maybe occur.
You can also disable the output of an audio track (to none) instead of deleting the track - this frees up CPU power.dtobocman wrote:"Mute frees system resources" is a big help in avoiding crashes and headaches. It's in Automation setup...
This feature frees purges any plugins from RAM on a muted track. The downside is that you can't make on-the-fly mutes of audio-based tracks. The upside is that you don't have to delete tracks to make them "inactive." The best part is that your CPU is not bogged down by stuff you're not even asking it to do, so... less crashes.
Do you mean plug ins that require an iLok such as Waves for example??3. Don't use apps that use an iLok for copy protection.
I am admittedly biased against the whole concept of the iLok, don't want to start flaming here.
When I used a softsynth for a while that required an iLok , I started experiencing regular crashes. The iLok installs kernel extensions in /System/Library that are loaded on every startup. As soon as I had removed them, the system was stable again.
D.P. 4.6 has been a little buggy since I installed some Waves plug ins. So I'm trying to sus out the problem. I looked into your suggestion about the system/library/extensions folder for this software that iLok has installed there. There is a lot of stuff in there and I'm not seeing anything that relates to iLok or Waves. Could you be more specific??This has nothing to do with the plug-in software itself. A buggy plug is easily removed. I'm referring to software that's installed in /System/Library.
