Ableton crashing

hey guys, i’ve got ableton suite 8.2.1 installed in my mac, but when i open a specific project, it crashes. i don’t know what to do and cannot afford to loose it.

thanks



i have the same problem… sometimes when i try and delete certain parts a message comes up saying ‘a serious error has occured and ableton live will know shut down’ duno what thats about…

try restarting your computer. that usually does it for me.



whenever I have a problem with a project crashing, you need 2 restart the whole PC.



if it continues, I dunno…



it COULD be a synth that you have going out of wack. you will know this to be the case when after you restart your PC and open up the project again. if it crashes when you hit play then it is something that you most recently added to the project causing the crash.

usually its a plugin causing the problem - remove them all from the vst folder.



then reintroduce one at a time until it stop working and you find the culprit

I hada problem recently with Aether 1.5.1 which crashed every time i loaded or deleted a vst instrument.

I’ve had this issue before and its almost always down to a vst.



Does it crash when you open the project?



If so you watch the bar at the bottem of the ableton screen when opening the project in recorvery state, it will show you which VST its scaning and you’ll know which one is causing the issue as it will crash on that one.



To resolve it uninstall and reinstall the VST, scan and clean registry before reinstalling (on a PC anyway).

Let’s say that i “tried” massive and had the same problem.Over and over again. Had to use a different VST for that project.

I suggest reinstalling the VST if it’s not “try” version. (and by that i mean cracked )
