Mac M4 Studio 15.6. I did numerous tests deleting tracks and plugins by etc to get to the bottom of it and nothing worked. On one particular session it wouldn’t even complete the final render It goes through the motions and you see the yellow bar move across the screen, gets to 100 % and then pizza wheel until you get the crash sign.

Ok going back to this I have found a fix, I turned off VST3 in Settings, I never use VST3 only AU in Live and it now works. Very strange. OOOOPS
Scrub that if I turn off all the AU in settings it works after I restart. I don't use VST3 so I don't know if using them helps ?? To reiterate, it starts to happen randomly, everything is OK and then suddenly it doesn't work. There doesn't seem to be any specific plugin either

Very strange indeed, especially if there's no VST3 loaded in your Set.
It'd be very nice if you could report this crash to Support. Thx!

Yes reported crash, may have found one solution which is a plugin and is repeatable Time off Audio dime plugins will cause this when inserted on a track.
