The 32-bit bridge crash by itself after a time with no action

Question

The 32-bit bridge crash by itself after a time with no action

This is very strange, no problem when using Logic and running in 64bit, lot of plugs and so on...
but leaving the computer and Logic on, the 32-bit bridge is going down by itself after , say 25-50 minutes....every time, very strictly!!! And it will be relaunched, no problem with that.....
No harddisc sleep or anything like that is made active...

I meet this popup:

"Any unsaved changes to Audio Unit plug-in parameters are lost. You can try to relaunch the 32-Bit AU Server. In case of repeated issues, click Cancel, then quit and relaunch Logic Pro."

2x2,8 Quad-Core Intel Xeon / 16 Gb, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

I'm having similar problems.. like you it does happen on it's own if I leave a session open for a while.. but it also happens while working on projects.. fortunately it does not crash Logic totally.. just the 32 bid Audio Bridge.. and have not caused me to lose any changes.. but makes me nervous so will be watching this thread for any thoughts or answers.

I think it has something to do with Superior Drummer.. no 64-bit update for Macs yet so it still runs at 32-bit.. and it's a pretty big CPU and RAM hog.. but by no means should it cause this problem.. I have 5GB RAM.. probably should spring for more soon.

Long time ago, but the problem still exist for me. I don´t use Superior Drummer, I do use all the Eastwest Play ( well, most of them), It works but I did figure out that when a Play plug was loaded this problem did show up, after some tests I am not shure really, sometimes it will stay stabile and now I had same issue without any Play plug loaded, just Logic plugs.

It seems that the 32bit bridge maybe have a memory leak maybe?
Will really be happy when this issues are solved since we all are heading 64bit in a near future....
Anybody around that have other problems or workarounds???

I get this often. Might be EW PLAY, might just be the 32 bit bridge.

Any update on the bridge's crash? I'm using ReFX Vanguard, iZotope Alloy and iZotope Oxygen, and are experiencing the same problem. Must be the bridge application.

Exoereienced all of the above.Plus switching from project to project is pretty strenuous on the bridge to..switch back 20 32 for that.

What do you mean by "switch back 20 32"?

espenandre - im sorry...late night typo.

I only meant that when doing big song to song imports I swith back to Login in 32 bit mode..so that the 'bridge' doesnt go nuts and crash me then I save and open again in 64 bit.

I am having exactly the same problem. Doesn't matter which 32bit plug ins are being used, after a period of inactivity the audio bridge quits.
It's a nuisance that is also getting irritating now.

Just realised over the last few days that if I actually close the plug ins (so that they are not visible on the screen - but still active), then the audio bridge does not crash.

Well... I was wrong there - it just crashed again with no plug in windows open. So back to square one.

If you have "only" 5 GB RAM, there really is hardly any benefit to using Logic in 64 bit mode. Switching back to 32 should solve the problem, as the AUB is not used anymore...
