SAC crash when trying to load a mix file

[TomyN]

1. If SAC loads OK, then create a new session with TapeIt inserted into a channel
2. Save the session - call it "First"
3. Then exit SAC
4. Re-launch SAC, load the previously saved "First" session file - and see what happens.
5. If SAC loads OK, then create another new session with TapeIt inserted into a channel
6. Save the session - call it "Second"
7. Then exit SAC
8. Re-launch SAC, load the "Second" session file.
9. If OK, then, load the "First " session file.
10. If all is OK, then the issue must be with the shutdown.mxs file. -> No.

Tomy,

I am really not following you here!

You stated, "10. If all is OK, then the issue must be with the shutdown.mxs file. -> No."!

So, you performed the first nine steps all with errors...correct? ... not correct? What is it?

Hi,
all works out fine.

But the conclusion is wrong.

Tomy,

If, as you state, "But the conclusion is wrong"... why - specifically, is that conclusion wrong?

PS: I am not following you on the latter as well!

The problem is not related to a specific mix-session file, but it seems to be related in some way with the tapeIt plugin.


I assume that SAC fails to initialize the 'handle' of the tapeIt plugin which is present in those files. So it assigns the control of the plug-in randomly to an other plugin. It looks like SAC just duplicates the first entry of the fx-list and tries to match the plugIn settings of tapeIt to this plugin, resulting in a 'corrupt settings' error.
Deleting these entry created by SAC will delete the entry but is not able to remove the erratic-plug in (because of the faulty handle).
When you leave SAC (or when SAC tries to end the current session in order to load a new (or just the same) mixfile, SAC crashes. I interpreted this in a wrong way by assuming its a problem of opening the file, but it seems to be a problem during the closing of a mixsession (while the mix-session file saves without a problem). SAC crashes because the handle is not valid or the access is denied.
Currently I can not tell the initial reason for this behavior. I've been working with this mix-session file for a long time, with the plugIn assigned. But I did not use the tapeIt plug in during the last sessions.

Tomy,

Well...I am done.

So, I am hopeful that someone else will chime-in.

Interestingly, I have not been experiencing any of the issues you seem to be experiencing.
