Crash while adding VST plugin to the audio bus

PostMon Jun 05, 2023 3:47 pm

Hey there,

bought a mac (M1 pro max, 10/32/64, 16''), bought studio version of davinci resolve and got more problems as under free version and windows :D So, I hope, this problem can be solved.

As described above, davinci resolve crashes after trying to add VST plugin (Gullfoss) to an audio master (or line) bus.
The loading symbol of the mac comes and stays... and stays... and... stays.

Cheers
Alex

Is the host hanging or crashing?

Can you please include diagnostics logs to determine if the plugin crashed internally?

Sorry, it's hanging, not crashing. I waited for several minutes, without any change.
Logs are attached.

Is the host also hanging with the VST2.4 and AU builds of Gullfoss?

Which build of Gullfoss is installed? 1.11.15?

Is Gullfoss Live also causing the host to hang?

The thing is, in the other project Gullfoss (Master) runs very well and causes no crash or freeze.
Now I checked the different possibilities (VST / AU) and everything runs after I loaded the AU Gullfoss Master. Nothing freezes anymore. Can not explain this behavior. So first run Gullfoss AU and then you can run also as VST.

BUT, if I delete the Gullfoss, save the project and open it again. It freezes again if I just add the VST Gullfoss (no matter what type, Master, Live or normal version). After restart and add Gullfoss as AU plugin, I can again add also the VSTs. So I could reproduce the behavior.

By the way what is AU compared to VST?

Audio Units are Mac only and are part of the macOS system. If sharing Projects or Timelines with Windows users, it is best to use the VST builds.
