crash crash crash..

i love reaper but it just sucks that whenever i use some plug ins like like a PSP vintage warmer not only does it crash after 4 seconds ( and i got a great computer ) but it delays the track that its effected on, like a latency delay. and all together reaper isnt noticing my vst plug ins or even AU...lol not even the cockos plugins like rea..something help please?

Been using Reaper for over a year now - crashing is now worst it's ever been. Not associated with any action, sometimes just disappears without me doing anything. Using Reason 2.5 which I suspect makes matters worse, but I've used Reason 2.5 since the beginning.

I'm trying going back to Reaper 3.16, which never had any issues whatsoever for me. I went from 3.16 to 3.4, and getting this blue screen often enough. I can't deduce if it is from the new Version of Reaper or something else, but if I have a couple of weeks with no issues by going back to 3.16, this might help determine what the issue may be. So, I'll post if 3.16 gives me problems, because this will mean that something other than Reaper is the problem, but if it goes smoothely, I'll post in a week or so with that info.

llr just cos you got a nice puter isnt the whole story. its how its often set up for daw music work thats of primary importance. crashes can be caused by many things. in your case in order for people to help you in depth details of your puter and sound device config would help. processor ?? ram amount ?? hard drive details ?? how much cache in hard drives ?? at what trak count do you get crashes ?? your sampling rate n bit depth your useing ?? plus pics of your reaper preferences set up. it might be something as simple as a setting somewhere or something more complex. difficult to say without more details. is it this one psp plug in you have probs with or also other plug ins ?? the devils in the details.

Well, after a couple of days trying, I don't think my blue screens are related to the new version of Reaper, because I went back to 3.16 and I am still getting blue screens. So I have no ideas about these things. I will just have to live with it for awhile while trying to learn more about this stuff, and then eventually I will just restore the computer to the factory default or whatever and I guess all will run smoothely once more the way it did for a great while. I wonder if a USB flash driver messed the computer up, or if plugging a cheap microphone into it messed it up, or if I'm just running more Convo plugins now than I used to, or if its a Windows legacy mode problem or what. Maybe I will not be able to figure it out, but its a pity these machines don't run more smoothely, and I more and more think of going over to Apple Mac if it will stop these sorts of things.

Thanks, mbn, I think this is not a Reaper problem, but I could collect a few crash reports, it might be worthwhile to see if the problem which makes the Audio Software blue screen the computer can be identified or somewhat identified. It is just not a reproduceable Reaper bug, but instead I think it must be some computer problem from another source, that comes up while Reaper is running. It could be a faulty vst I guess, I think it has to do with a USB flash stick device. I think this USB flash drive might have a feature in order to boot from the flash drive or something, and who knows what settings are involved with this, I do get some comments about ROM or bios and stuff, I just don't know what they mean exactly. I googled and other people have had blue screen issues related to flash usb sticks, so maybe this manifests when running Reaper because I get closer to 100% CPU when running these programs. So, I think its going to be a work in progress but eventually some chance of knowing exactly what the glitch has been. Thanks for the reply, I will have to figure out where to post some crash reports, or if anyone would be interested in looking those over. I mean, it might be valuable just to know some issues, unrelated to Reaper's code, that screw up the program.

BSOD's are almost ALWAYS a device driver 'thing'. I had problems with a sound card I had on one machine. Random BSOD's... A new driver was finally released and bingo. No more BSOD's. Not saying for sure if this is what you guys are facing. I do run Reaper 3.4 almost everyday for hours at a time and it's as solid as any program I have ever used. Probably much MORE solid where music apps are concerned. Hang in there and see if you can get those crash logs posted. Those will help the devs immensely... :) D

thanks for the info, maybe looking for a driver solution will prove to solve the problem. I appreciate it, this forum is great both for music and the tech stuff.
