Logic Pro X (10.5) crashes randomly - possibly instrument related

I have a similar problem. Found this:

Same issue. Its not just NI plug ins ... Iv'e experienced it with whole load (including Omnisphere, Union and several others). It's got to the point I can't really continue using 10.5 as I'm gambling on a crash every time I load a plug in.

Thats disastrous. I have to try reverting to an older logic version (if thats even viable) or give up on it as my DAW for some undefined period. I've a lot invested in plugins.

Did the developers did not spot this? Or did they do so and decide not to bother coordinating or notifying third party plug in developers (and I'm not talking tiny or rare plug ins)? A DAW is a platform that must partly be judged by its ability to run plug ins, not a self contained ecosphere...so WTF is going on?

It might be Logic 10.5 have issues with Instrument Plug-ins.

I can't use my Vocalsynth and other Ext.Instrument plugin.

On the other side my Izotope Ozone and neutron (Comp. plugins etc) works perfectly.

Pls fix it, i have some project to finish T_T

I am having similar issues.. First I had to reinstall UA software and now it started doing the same with NI and Waves.. it's frustrating when you're at completion of a project and are stuck because of such issues. Hoping to find solutions asap.

I have the same problem... recurring crashes. One of my virtual instruments (Retrox Wave from Electronik Sound Lab) crashes Logic as soon as I load one of its presets... between this type of problem and abusive security rules when installing software (legal, all licensed)... Catalina is starting to become very annoying, against a fluid and reliable user experience.

That’s why we buy Apple, isn’t it?

They’ll have to correct the hard shot!

Same here, had two crashes in the space of about 15 min on first trying 10.5 last night. They seemed like random and unrelated causes and now I'm worried a crash might corrupt some of the projects I'm working on, you never know. It's worrying that it's affecting so many users - needs to be sorted asap.

My Logic is crashing every time I am putting Waves and Native Instruments plugins. Universal Audio was having similar issue but they immediately sent step by step process which worked. They are anyway developing an update too. But it's really frustrating coming from Apple. It really just suddenly stops all work flow. They should give a Beta version for people to check before the final is updated so we know if our 3rd party plugins are working fine before we update.

10.5 became a piece of crap. It's not compatible with THE MAJORITY of today's plugins. Apple literally ******* on users once again. There's a mega thread on Reddit regarding this.

XLN, Omni, Fab, Waves, NI and other developers are affected. Battery 4 stopped working a couple of years ago for me, constantly crashing the projects when trying to browse for samples. And this hasn't been fixed yet. I'm thinking about quitting Logic now, this **** is barely usable.

Since updating I've had loads of crashes with a variety of third party plugins, some projects are really struggling to open - I had to delete one Arturia plugin just to open one of my projects yesterday. The same project has crashed on both Slate plugins and Native Instruments plugins today already... really regretting the update now. Really hope they sort it soon!!

The latest update is out. They have done the Bug Fixes for the time being. My Native Instruments Replika and Waves J37 were crashing Logic and its seems to be be working fine now. Hoping there are no more surprises on this front.

10.5.1 has fixed a lot of the initial problems, but Autosampler doesn't work at all - it makes logic think the sample rate is incorrect. Playback is distorted and I have to quit and restart logic

Yes Catalina is very problematic...pops clicks crashes,etc. please Apple fix this!

Yep same here random crashes Catalina and Logic 10.5 Lota $ for useless DAW & OS !!
