Cubase LE crashes on opening certain project

Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 8:25 am

Ok, so I was messing around in a project, trying to remember how to get the vocoder to work. Apparently, I pissed off Cubase by connecting a track to the wrong thing because it crashed. When I tried to reload it, I got the blue screen. I restarted my computer, and now, whenever I try to open that particular project (others open fine), it will simply crash. I never saved the changes, so I don't understand why it's crashing on that project, as no screwy vocoder settings were saved. Please help; I've put a lot of time into this project and I need it back. Thanks

My setup: , Cubase LE, XP SP2, P4 1.8 Ghz.

That's an odd problem. I'm thinking that it's trying to load the Vocoder and whatever settings made it crash in the first place, so it just keeps doing it.

Do you have the previous saved file right before that you could work on?

You may even try to remove the Vocoder from the folder where it's trying to access it. Then, it may open the project with maybe only a warning that it can't find it, but let you bypass that to undo the vocoder, and then save without, to do further work?

I dunno, worth a try? You can always reinstall the vocoder, and test it with a test recording that you don't care about.

Unfortunately, I don't have that file saved under anything else. I removed the vocoder.dll from Cubase, and tried to load it, but it still crashed on me. I thought that might have worked, but no luck. Thanks for the idea, though.
