I have reported this a couple of months ago. I never got an answer from UVI.

ok - I will report it to them as well.

Edit: I have contacted them with the crash report

Ok, thank you very much. Maybe this helps because I am just a “Sleeper in Metropolis” :slight_smile:
In a certain way one could say I am responsible for the crashes because I am still using the Falcon Audio Unit or the guys from UVI should just do their homework. Another question that came to my mind is if maybe one day it would be possible that GP just deactivates Pllugins who seem to crash it. Isn’t that the way how DAWs like Logic or Cubase deal with “dangerous” Plugins?

Generally can’t tell easily what crashed without a lot of extra monitoring and in a live performance situation, that’s not always practical.
But generally, people should prefer VST over AU

I received the following reply from UVI

"Happy to assist on this issue. Looking at the crash log, this sounds like a faulty preset. Could you please ask the user to export and forward his Falcon multi file and to describe each step he made before experiencing this crash?

Looking forward to hearing from you."

Thank you very much for your help with this issue, but I don’t remember which Gig File and which Falcon Multi File was involved. I would also like to note that you maybe remember that Falcon has crashed GP a million times on my old Mac and now I got the same problem on my MacBook Pro. I am not a software expert, but it sounds a little bit strange to me if UVI is speaking of a “faulty preset” whatever that means. In that case I would have hundreds of “faulty presets”. Anyway next time when Falcon crashes GP I will try to find and export that mysterious “faulty preset”…

I don’t know what it means and I’m not going to speculate - it’s not a GP issue. They seem to know what it means.

Please work with UVI directly to address the issue
