UA Neve 88R Plug in crashing DP**RESOLVED**(I think)

Post by skyboy »

I've been having some instability in DP for quite awhile, through several updates. Recently I got to the point of DP crashing as soon as I pressed Play after opening a particular project. After spending lots of time on the phone with a very nice tech support person at DP (Nicole...Thanks!), it was narrowed down to the UA Neve 88R plug in. Disabling this plug in DP Preferences solved the problem. Unfortunately, I love this plugin : (

Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, is there a fix? (Couldn't get UA tech support on the phone)

Thanks!

UA Neve 88R Plug in crashing DP

Works well here as well, do you have the latest UAD version?
If not I'd install & see if that fixes.
Have you tried trashing AU components?

UAD tech support via a phone call is great if this isn't working, you probably should call them tomorrow

I use that one all the time with no problems whatsoever. Wish I could help, I wouldn't want to be without that plug in.

Thanks for the replies.

I completely uninstalled all UAD plugs and re-installed latest versions. No change.

Not sure if I trashed AU components, though. I will try that. Is that easy to locate?

Thanks again,
Chris

I think UA Tech Support has solved my problem. The issue got weirder as the "problem plug-in" mysteriously switched from the Neve 88Rs to the EMT 140. Tech Support had me change a few settings on the UA Console, which makes things a little less responsive, but much more stable (no crashes so far). They felt there must be a DSP bottleneck occurring somewhere. I have 22 gigs of ram, a Duo and a Quad UAD card, and this is not a huge mix, so it doesn't seem like this should be happening......but what do I know?

Anyway, good for now!

As always, thanks for the support.

Good news!
The consistent level of 1st rate tech support by UAD for me is what I wish other companies would aim for,imo they are among the best with support. ;)
