I just installed 8.04 and now the patch I'm working with crashes every time I turn audio processing on. I'm trying to track down the subpatch causing the problem (assuming that's what the problem is) but in the meantime I'd like to go back to 8.03 and get on with rehearsing! Is 8>03 for Mac available on the site somewhere?

I finally got a crash report, opening the sub patchers one at a time. The crashed thread is:

And now, something I've not seen before - a window has opened saying my system has run out of application memory - Max is using 131.76GB!!!!!

46 com.apple.audio.IOthread.client
Does that point me to anything?

If you are able to send in a crash report and patcher to Support, we will investigate. You can download Max 8.0.3 here:

Mac:

Win:

After some investigation it appears that the crash is related to 2 plugins (both Vst & Component versions seem to cause the crash). If either Mikron Cascade or Litote are present in the patcher when I turn audio on, then Max 8.04 immediately crashes. A bit of a drag as I use Litote in particular quite a lot. I can send the sub patches to Support if you like, but you'll need those 2 plugins to test the crash. 

I'll double check this on my laptop later today - I still have 8.03 installed on that.

Where can I download 8.03 for Mac?
