IK Multimedia plugs crashing live (every time)

Post by Bizon » Tue May 03, 2011 5:13 pm

I just got a new quad core I7 macbook pro and IK multimedia’s Total Workstation 2. However, when I installed it, every time I close one of the plugs, it crashes live. I am not saying “every time” to be dramatic, I literally mean every single time.

There are 5 plugs in total so I generated a bug report for each and sent it off to ableton.

Does anyone have any idea why it would be crashing it every time? If so, any solutions? I don’t imagine ableton will be getting back to me in the near future.

TBH Im starting to think IK plugins are a bit dodgy, but not quite dodgy enough to break other DAWs - Live is just very sensitive I guess.

I dont get crashes with them, but Live does seem to often get randomly confused about their latency compensation which causes no end of wasted time - applies on Win7 and OSX.
Nothing to see here - move along!

Have you spoken to Ableton about this?

Sweet! Good on IKM and Ableton for taking care of this promptly.

What a bunch of BS. I feel raped for having bought the bundle...
