AFTER INSTALLING BIAS PEAK 5.2 IT IS CRASHING LIVE I AM 10.4.6 OS AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL THAT. IT SEEMS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE VST FOLDER . I GOT LIVE TO START HIT NO ON RECOVERING MY WORK AND TRYING TO USE THE VST CUSTOM FOLDER AND IT IS ALWAYS CRASHING . ANY SUGGESTIONS???

did you upgraded to peak 5.02? i am still on 10.3.9, though and have live 5.2 and peak 5.02 works great, no trouble...

or try to use the 'standard' osx vst folder and point ableton to that?

And well they might but this topic is about Peak 5.2 which has just been released to replace 5.02.

Are you running an Intel Mac or a PowerPC Mac ??

It is on a Mca Book Pro SO it is an intel

What's the latest garygenn69 ??

Have you still got the problem or is it sorted ??

I see the other person (Coldpack) in the Bias thread doesn't have the problem anymore. One crash and that was it.

Yes. I've gone back and forth between them with no problem.

Funny side note, though. I use Cubase SX3, too. I hadn't used it since I did the upgrade... until this morning. Same thing. Crash when loading plugins. Then I just restarted Cubase again with no worries.

Weird.

p.s. Peak blows...I'd get a refund if I were you...

it doesn't, not in my case anyway i use it since years and never had any serious issues, it used to be buggy (prior 5), but still nothing really from importance.

just updated my peak pro XT 5 yesterday night to 5.2 and i run ableton 5.2,
no probs so far, runs like a charm.

as i said try to use the default VST folders instead of a custom location, maybee that will help.

NO We ll yae Well, I can use livie and logic 5.2& 5.2 but i noticed these is hardly any plugins in the plgug in folder in the left window if I try to do a cutom folder bang an my A**.

It is a problem with the VST plug-ins that Peak installs unto your Library Folder.

Two ways to fix it....

1. Turn Off your VST plug-ins in the Live Preferences. Try Again...

2. Go to your Library ---> Audio ---> Plug Ins ---> VST
remove the mda and freeverb, and Bias Freq plug-ins. Try gain....


It seems as Live 5.2 does not like the new MDA Universal and the other Universal peak VSTs.
Also, the AU version of MDA will work, but will overload you processor and system. They are not Universal and work through Rosetta. They appear to pass the Logic 7.2 Intel AU verification.

Hope this helps.

that might be the reason that i don't have any problems, i don't use any VSTs except the bias master perfection suite.
and i am still on a PPC and 10.3.9, trouble free.

strictly AUs here.

yeah I KNOW IT IS CAUSE ON MY DUAL GB5 PPC I AM I THIHNK 10L.4.6 BUT IT IS PPC2.0 WITH A CRAP LOAD OF PLUGINS WITH PEAK 5.0.2 AND LIVE 5.2
