I just upgraded to SF Pro 16.1.3 Build 68 and it crashes when I use my plug in chains. 16.2 did not do this. I still have 15 on my computer and that works. But I am paying for a monthly subscription for the most up-to-date product. Please advise
What plug-ins are in the chain and what mode is the chain in? (timeline or apply chain)
As was stated in another thread, some of the 16.1.2 issues remain in 16.1.3 .
Noise reduction, Graphic Dynamics, Graphic Equalizer, Wave Hammer, Noise Gate. I click the link that says "Apply plugin chain." The same exact chain worked flawlessly in 16.1.2
I'm going to use old version of Sound Forge, because the new version is crap. I'm not going to spend money on buggy software.
Sound Forge has a lot of problems, but Magix doesn't take criticism. Magix should sell Sound Forge to a company that can fix the problems.
@Jimrin, I created a chain in the order you stated: Noise reduction, Graphic Dynamics, Graphic EQ Hammer and Noise Gate.. it did not crash on my Win 10 PC. Though it was not stated if Noise Reduction (NR-2.0) was 32 or 64 bit or if it was the legacy Wave Hammer. That is not to say SFP-16.1 is OK though and I cannot use it with the on-going issues. Fortunately, SFP-15 works good.

NR 2.0 64 bit and legacy wave hammer. I can run each individual task without problems. Only when in the chain does it cause issues. I updated Windows and all drivers with the same results. And yes, SF 15 works fine. But I pay a monthly subscription to have the most up to date product. It should be expected to work. So there needs to be a fix, a new update very soon, or a refund
As I stated, I could not duplicate the chainer behavior, with the same plug-ins and in the order you posted.. at least with Win 10.. I do not have a Win 11 PC to check it on.
Many users (me included) are using SFP-15 You could ask Magix for some kind of restitution, I would not expect much, since you can still use SFP-15 365. Some users with the perpetual version of SFP-16 reported they were given a SFP-15 serial so they are not totally side lined.
It should be expected to work. So there needs to be a fix,
Fo' sure. IMO, Magix should roll back to SFP-15 and start over with SFP-16.
i can't reproduce this issue either...not with the plug-in chain from the insert menu or via the fx plugins > apply a plugin chain option. there are plenty of other issues for sure, but i can't reproduce this one on windows 11 or 10...but if you need a rollback to 15, submit a ticket, that's no problem, and it will help you avoid other issues as well.
So here is an update. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the software. I tried upgrading Windows and all drivers, all with the same results. I rebuilt the plug-in chain with the exact same functions and exact same settings and that worked.
