I had a 15 hour struggle in the studio recently. All my Cubase 7 (64 Bit) projects refused to load without crashing. Even projects that I was working on the very day before.
I re-installed, searched, cleaned, refreshed preferences, you name it, I tried it…
FL Studio (until 2003 known as FruityLoops) is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by the Belgian company Image-Line. FL Studio features a graphical user interface with a pattern-based music sequencer. The program is available in four different editions for Microsoft Windows and macOS.
15 hours later I was still unable to load any of my projects without Cubase disappearing into the dark depths where all dead project go.
The next morning I woke up and with a fresh head, found myself a cure within 30 minutes (based on the research I had done the day before). So I thought this would be worth sharing, as during my search I found many folks with similar trouble and no solution.
The first step was realising that if I removed the Waves plugins from my system the problem went away.

I had a 15 hour struggle in the studio recently. All my Cubase 7 (64 Bit) projects refused to load without crashing. Even projects that I was working on the very day before. I re-installed, searched, cleaned, refreshed preferences, you name it, I tried it. Currently running FL Studio 20 on my Macbook Pro, I purchased the software direct from Image Line, so nothing has been pirated etc. Wondering if theres any fix for this, Access Violation will randomly appear making me have to restart the program. Saintember for FL Studio DECiBEL 01 Dec 2020 26.5 KB This Hit hat MIDI/Score kit includes 50 midis inspired in Drill Style (UK, NYC). I add some of the pattern I used in my most popular beats on Youtube and Placements. FL Studio Crack is a powerful music production software. You can also work with all types of music for the production of stunning music. For efficient working, the interface of the software is quite simple and offers an integrated development environment (IDE) to its users. Access violation is when a program wants to do something but the OS prevents it due to restrictions in the program. I've encountered this once with the RAM usage, maybe you have the same issue? Then try opening 'FL Studio 11 (extended memory)' instead of the usual 'FL Studio 11'.
Symptoms:
- Windows 64 Bit System
- 64 Bit DAW Host
- Usually Windows 8 but can be Windows 7 – Must be 64 Bit
- Cubase crashes when loading a project that contains ANY Waves plugins
- Cubase crashes when inserting ANY Waves plugin into a fresh project
- I am using Cubase here but it could be any 64 Bit DAW host application
Mac Fl Studio
I found a post related to a different issue that suggested renaming the WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64 file. This file is found here and this put me on the right path:
C:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3
I renamed the file to WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64_BLAH.vst3
Wow! Success!
All my projects loaded again… But it is not over yet.
Waveshell crashes again and now the projects will not load again even with the renamed file, unless it was renamed yet again. Renaming it back to the original WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64.vst3 still causes crashes… What is going on?
I had already done a clean install of all related applications, Waves, Cubase etc., And also cleaned registry of everything that mentioned Waves before re-installing…
Finally I decided to search the registry for WaveShell-VST3… Low and behold the solution – A very odd registry key gets added if the Waveshell crashes. After which, any subsequent load of the Waveshell causes the host (Cubase) to crash.
Full Solution:
- Windows 64 Bit is affected (although it mentioned 8 it can also be 7)
- Waves (shell) crashes once
- Waveshell gets added to the reg key with “IgnoreFreeLibraries” with reference to Cubase (or whatever caused the crash).
- Waveshell will now crash every time it is loaded / used (unless the shell is renamed)
- Solution – DELETE the registry DATA contained in this key (as highlighted in my screenshot) that relates to your DAW host
How to find the key: Search registry for “WaveShell-VST3 9.2_x64” and you will find the odd key with IgnoreFreeLibrary associated.
Do not search for AppCompatFlags as it will bring up tons of irrelevant stuff.
Here is my reg key area:
This may of course be different for another machine so it probably better to use the search method as mentioned above. Notice in my screenshot that Wavelab also had the same problem.
Bookmark this key and if you suffer this problem go back and DELETE the registry DATA contained in this key that relates to your DAW host.
Back It up first if you are concerned.
So anyone on Win 64 experiencing Waves crashes – And I mean total Waves crashes – ie. Nothing VST3 works. It may be worth checking.
I have contacted Waves and they are working on a solution.
OK that is all. Thank you and goodnight.
