    Hi,

    I've problem, when I drag'n'drop maschine VST inside ableton to create new MIDI track with Maschine, as I've been doing with maschine 1.1 without problem, my Ableton crash. It is only happening with maschine, other VSTs like kontakt are working well, so i think it is problem with maschine.

    I'm using OS X 10.6.3. latest Live, and latest Maschine public beta.

    Is it happening only to me, or there are more of this problem?

    yes, exactly, maschine was first executed in standalone mode with controller plugged in. than turned off. After this I started up Live, and drag'n'dropped maschine from vst list.

    Trash Live's preferences and start Live. See if it clears up.

    ok, I've done these steps:

    - Trashed Live's settings (~/Library/Preferences/Ableton/*)
    - Installed latest Maschine Beta (because I was using 1.1 today for setting up for my performance)
    - Reboot; plug controller in; run Maschine Standalone; Quit maschine standalone
    - Started Live
    - But when I was setting up Live to scan for VSTs in System directory, Live started to search each VST as usual (It found eg. my Kontakt VST correctly) but when it had found my Maschine VST(according to the status bar message in Live) Live has Crashed..

    Start up Live again. If it happens again, move the Maschine plugins out of the folder and start up Live and see if everything else has scanned. If it has, reboot your system and move the Maschine plugins back in. Then, start Live and see if it crashes.

    thanks for instructions, but this didin't help. Maybe I can attach some debug info from crash, if it will help you(or anything what can help you).

    btw my version of Live is Live Intro 8.0.9, maybe it is problem with Intro only, but again, maschine 1.1 is working well, so i think it shouldn't be problem with Live.


    Thanks for your time

    Please submit a reports here;
    http://native-instruments.de/publicbeta

    Indeed it sounds as if maschine is crashing your live. Please try to trash your maschine defaults if you have any, they can be found in your user folder (C:\Users\mads.lindgren\Documents\Native Instruments\Maschine\Projects) and are called NewProject.Mprj / NewProjectPlugin.mprj then see if live is crashing after that.

    But please send us your crashlog, then we can see what is going on.

    I had this problem a few weeks ago... I think it may be more of an Ableton problem with AU than a Maschine issue - my problem was with an IK Multimedia plug-in.

    This may help:

    http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=133496

    This worked for me for while, then the problem came back, so eventually I did a fresh install of both Live and the plug-in which eventually fixed everything.

    Good luck!

    It kept doing it to me since some time ago.
    I simply CANNOT use Maschine as AU. I think it is a problem of Live, but it s quite irritating. I deleted all preferences , i tried the above workaround with the options.txt but still...
    Maybe i will have to perform a fresh install of Live
