Worked the whole show no crashes.
So far I've only encountered a few crashes when running multiple live scenes and have editor going.

When I had the latest software with the fix files installed it would crash on opening. and if not at launch of program it wouldn't PC link or allow me to select any scenes. Each scene would become a check mark but not function.

I use (2) APC20s, (1) APC Key25, (1) Apple Keyboard, (2)512 Boxes connected to a powered USB hub. Connected to a 2009 Macbook Pro, 15", 4g Ram, 2.53 core 2 duo, V 10.9.5.


So reading this, do you have all 6 devices connected to 1 usb hub?



Yes all 6 are in one powered USB Hub

Try going with 2 different hubs on 2 different usb ports on the mac. It may be that you have too many devices on 1 hub creating a bottleneck.

Only the 512 boxes and my keyboard are powered from usb. this shouldn't be an issue. I usually have one 512 box plugged into a sole usb port but have started adding to hub to make setup tear down faster. same issues happened when things were connected individually. Being a powered USB hub my few connections should be of no issue

We are not able to reproduce the crash, testing during more than 2 hours with one DMX interface on a dedicated USB port and an Akai APC 20 on MacOS Mavericks and Software v8.2.11.
