Blue Screen of Death with Tracks longer than 4 Minutes

Post by cemeterylawnboy »

Mixcraft 5 was working perfectly. I've been trying to lay down a drum track, but my compter keeps crashing after I hit the stop button. Other songs I've recorded under 5 minutes are fine, but this one runs longer & seems to stall the system. I keep getting the blue screen of death. I have 3 gigs of RAM.

Hi,

If you're not already using version 5.1 build 149, try downloading the latest version of Mixcraft.

You also submitted a support ticket and we requested that you send in your mixcraft-log.txt file.

They're many things that you can do to prevent Mixcraft from doing this.

Try one of these (I'm just going to assume you haven't done so. If you have, I'm sorry.)

1.) Freeze tracks
2.) Turn off internet connection
3.) Exit out of any programs that don't need to be open whilst recording.
4.) Google " Optimize computer performance for recording audio"


Try one of those, that may help.
