Analog Lab has given me the most issues out of any sampler/ synth I've used. I realized that its probably causing 90% of my crashes. When I go to save my project in Ableton after I start adding instances of analog lab I start having issues. Most of them are after I go to collect all and save I get the serious program error (X) message. Sometimes it will delete the project file out of the folder and I will have to load from a backup (I dont know if that is related or not). Anybody know what might be going on here?

 

Hello @Nick Bellagio, do you perhaps have a specific error message? What graphics card do you have?

Live 11 crashing when using Arturia Analog Lab plug-ins

It might be the "GPU render" option > try turning it off. It fixed it for me (I'm on PC tho...). Good luck!

I had a similar issue... Turns out it was the GPU rendering that needs to be turned OFF (in Display and Inputs).

Hey! thanks for the help! Ill give that a try. I have Raedon RX 5500 XT. Its not the best. I cheaped out on GPU because I figured i wouldnt need it. I get the A serious program error has occured message. It usually happens when i go to save a project or when i try and export a track. it happens more often when a project has been running for a while, if I open it fresh and export or save it doesnt do it. I dont see any GPU rendering option in Analog lab. I set GPU to power saving in windows though idk if that will work or not. Ive also been using the VST 2 version maybe that could be an issue

Hi @Nick Bellagio,
your graphics card is a good choice and perfectly adequate, as it significantly reduces the load on your memory and CPU.
Your graphics card (OpenGL® 4.6) also supports the minimum requirements of OpenGL 2.0.
You could also open Task Manager before a crash and check if your CPU usage spikes during the crash. Please post the results!

What operating system are you using (Windows 10 or 11)?
Which version of Analog Lab do you have installed?
What CPU and RAM do you have?

Please install the following program, run it, and post the results here, along with a few screenshots.
