Plug-in related performance issues and crashes

Problem

Some 3rd party plug-ins contribute to ASIO overloads in Cubase/Nuendo, especially when they start and stop their processing cycles. Occasionally, the issue may show as freezes as soon as you start editing parameters within the plug-ins. In other cases, the application may even crash.

Workaround

In Cubase/Nuendo, the preference in VST > Plug-ins > "Suspend VST3 plug-in processing when no audio signal is received" is enabled by default. Please disable this preference until we have a solution ready.
