MIO Console crashes when using Console Connect in Presonus Studio One V2 [message #85337]

it is so frustrating but even after the last updates of MIO the Console-Connect-PlugIn always crashes/ freezes MIO , when being used in Studio One Pro with LIO or ULN.

MH can you please fix it ? I know that Studio One is not the No1 DAW fon the market but for me it is actually the best DAW for Audio Recording and MAstering with my Lio8 ( yes, I opened a support case to MH support 2 times within the last 12 months)

MH, thank you for considering a bugfix.

PS: If someone knows a workaround, I would be very happ to hear about it

kind regards
tom

It seems to work OK for me here with a demo version of Studio One v.2

What's the problem?

If you are finding that MIO Console opens briefly and then closes, you should launch MIO Console before launching Studio One.

The way that Console Connect works is that if MIO Console was not already running when ConsoleConnect starts it, then ConsoleConnect will quit MIO Console when the plugin is de-instantiated. Some hosts do a "stutter" instantiation where the plugin is instantiated, deinstantiated, and then instantiated again. This happens sufficiently quickly that the second instantiation trys to attach to the copy of MIO Console that is in the process of quitting -- and that leads to MIO Console not being available.

If MIO Console is already running when CC is instantiated, it will not cause MIO Console to quit when it is de-instantiated. This will probably work around the issue you are encountering.

We'll take another look and see if we can work-around the stutter instantiation behavior.

Please let me know if the work-around works for you.

Best regards,

B.J. Buchalter

thanks for your workaround. However, just started MIO, then Studio One, CC plugin , everything worked fine for ca 10 Minutes. Then I did some edits on multiple tracks in Studio One, added Mixer Channels in S1 and again. MIO freezes when I tried to use the Monitor Controller .

I also noticed that MIO freezes often when Studio One is running and MIO will be started after S1 one is already running. It also crashes LIO. After that happens I have to restart everything MAc, Lio Hardware, MIO. And now (..) I have real issues because even after restarting everything MIO freezes immediately after starting it
"
PID: 856
Event: hang
Duration: 1.95s
Steps: 20 (100ms sampling interval)
Its difficult to reproduce exactly. But after some minutes
minutes the freeze of MIO is guaranteed on my MacPro / Lion

Ok, now I have to go to preferences and delete all pref files to get MIO back to work .

After all I consider that MIO / cc cause major issues for the whole MIO-LIO-DAW-OSX setup

What can I do to make this a real support case ? record a video ?

This happens all the time to me with Pro Tools 10, constant crashing of MIO if I use console connect on both my MBP and my mac pro.

I have found a work around, it's a bit irritating though, and that is to use console connect as a conduit only (it's the bottom tick box in preferences). This solves the problem entirely but does mean that you have to keep selecting MIO Console from the dock rather than being able to use it within the daw if you like.

Thank you for this. unfortunately it is not really what I am looking for, I want to use MIO CC as described by MH Wink

.

However, I still hope MH will do some more DAW/OS compability testing for CC ., finding the problem and developing a software- patch would be nice.

Did you already open up a support case ?

I did and was sent a beta version but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem, apparently it's a bug in the monitor controller in Lion. Using it in conduit mode works and otherwise functions identically to plug in mode, all settings are saved in the project etc..I'm a bit less busy now so I'll probably raise another support ticket to see if it can be sorted.

The Lion Monitor Controller bug was addressed in MIO Console v5.5; if you are running an older version, please update. If you are seeing the problem on v5.5, please get in touch with support.

Hi Allen,

I'm seeing it in MIO 5.5, on Lion 10.7.4 and PT 10.2.

I'll raise a support ticket in the morning, it's now 3am in the UK..audio post complete and uploading so off to hit the sack...

Great support here...

We actually did fix the bug leprechaun is talking about in 5.5; unfortunately, it appears that Apple introduced another problem that leads to a similar crash in 10.7.4. We have resolved that as well, and will push a dot release out shortly.

As it turns out, we were able to also able to reproduce and resolve the issue that Tom raised in the first post in this thread. That fix will also be included in the dot release.

Best regards,
