Hi, i cannot find an answer to this but i'm getting the message......... 'A serious program error has occured...."
and live will keep repeatedly crash on loading of the project.
My question is. Is there a way of deleting tracks within the .als file?
Because i can rebuild the project but i lose all my return tracks and master chain settings and plug ins which are important to me within the original project.
It would be great if there was a way of deleting certain parts inside the .als then i could load the project as a whole thus keeping my return tracks and master settings etc?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

it's an xml one, simply rename the .als to .zip and unpack it, AL can open the xml too (so worth to using some version control software with Live like Git or something and backup the project minimum daily based )

A "bad" plug-in is usually a candidate for such a crash.

Provoke the crash and find the log.txt afterwards.

It should give some indication what caused the crash, in the suspect case the loading of a specific plug-in.
Temporarily remove the plug-ing from your plug-in folder and try to open again.

If the log is too cryptic, contact support.

Ok noted guys will try these out
I think it could be that I have so many samples within my drum racks that it's maxing out the memory and crashing
Thanks for the help
