Superior Drummer Crash in DP 7.02

Post by bdr »

I'm getting consistent crashes using Superior Drummer 2.2.1 in DP 7.02. If I have the SD window open and then close it, as soon as I hit play DP will crash. It happens whether in pre-gen or real-time modes. The crash log makes it clear that it is to do with SD.

Does this happen for anyone else?

I'm using SD 2.2.0, as I heard there were problems with DP and SD2.2.1 - SD does crash sometimes, but it often happens when I play a note while it's loading samples, especially big kits over 1G - it is a RAM hog, so if you can try using in Bidule, that might cure the problem.

Or, try to install 2.2.0.

Thanks John

actually it was happening with 2.2 also so I went to 2.2.1 to see if it was better. I'll try it in Bidule.

I'm not having any problems with Superior Drummer 2.2.1 with DP 7.02... Have you found anything in particular that triggers it? Just closing the edit window and playing works fine for me (MBP, 10.6.2, DP 7.02, SD 2.2.1)...

Thanks for your replies. Are you guys using it realtime or pre-gen?

i just updated to 7.02 and SD 2.21 and it took me a bit to find where everything was moved around to- but it sounds awesome & its solid as a rock.

i am using it realtime at the moment- just playing a track that was programmed in EZ - but all the loops are in and they seen to be working fine!!!
