Question

I just installed the update and startup freezes at 'startup midi engine'.  I downloaded this updated because SO3 CONSTANTLY crashed when loading/reloading VSTs... GD CONSTANTLY and now this.... making this switch seems foolish and amateur now.  This is a reason why other programs stay around so long... they're STABLE.

Answer 1

I have to ask John, have you set up a "my Presonus" account? and in that account are ALL your software and hardware drivers up to date? Have you installed all your content from your account? Usually, if all the hardware, software, and drivers are up to date in your account everything works seamlessly.

If your having an issue why not start a tech service ticket? If any of what I have suggested helps you can always cancel the ticket...
