Maybe some of you would like to answer these questions:

1) I would like to know if there could be unwanted interactions between Max and another app on the same computer, causing Max crashes, and of what nature would be these interferences. I am using Live with Max for Live, and in parallel I use the Max app.

2) Loading a big Max patch and simultaneously browsing the web or launching another app will later cause a crash of the patch. What precisely are the reasons for this ?

Hi , is there any log created after things get crashed ? . . . its a blind question ,sort of , its hard to guess .

it might by anything really , starting from the way your patch is constructed . you need to be sure that you are not causing "stack overload" .

You need to be sure that your patches are not leaking some unwanted data over the instances via [send] , [receive] or [value] objects where naming convention should remain unique .

This is what caused many crashes in my situations .

This is just a first guess i would take in consideration .

Also sharing audio interface in some cases might be dangerous if you are not using ASIO drivers (its another guess) .

It might be you disk , or other programs that are running in memory ,or even plugins .

You need to provide a special case where your system is free from other things that are running normally and check if it crashes .

I hope you will spot it right .


it might be due to quicktime sharing issue between max and safari (a guess)
