This bug is filed with Ticketnr. 2023080817001717
Since 2018 I am working on a "audio only" project in Vegas.
I have about 10 years for this project, so I am half ways.
Since I started (in 2003) using Vegas as my main DAW, I have to stick with this piece of software, I can't change the technical workflow.
But since Vegas 20 audio-editing is extreme bad and unreliable, especially when using some pretty basic (but very professional) VST 2 / 3 plugins.
I am still stuck to Vegas 20 / build 370 because build 4.x.x are totally insane bad when using audio in combination with enveloppe automation.
Now my question (the above is context);
My projects are extreme simple, see 2nd screenshot.
One event, one audio file and one bus with some enveloppes (attached to audio related plugins).
When I create a point for adjusting the bezier of this enveloppe and "undo" it, 9 out of 10 Vegas crashes because of the infamous "undo overflow" error.
- I did check "read / write" permission on the temporary-folder;
- I did move the folder to a complete other - dedicated - SSD drive;
- I did disable Windows Defender for scanning that folder;
- I do have admin rights (to both the systemdisk and swap / scratch disks);
- The mentioned files do exist and are not corrupt (checked compiled content with a binary code analyzer);
- Etc...
And stil I get undo-crashes every-freaking-five-minutes.
When I "undo" a bezier, even the whole GUI of the visible plugin (which is not even related to the bezier at all) is redrawn.
So I think the "undo crash" is not because of the undo itself (going back to a previous state in the stack), but because under the hood the whole plugin is redrawn / reinitialized and re-actived (which is a serious bad programming principle).
It not only causes the plugin canvas "flashing white" every time you "undo" but also crashing Vegas (I think).
Any tips for disabling the "can not undo, so I am crashing bug" for Vegas?
Please don't reply with "undo is working fine for me, so you are the problem yourself".
I am not using Vegas anymore because it's working nice and stable, I am only using it because I did since 2003 and have to about 2028 (when this particular project is finished and done).
I mean, I don't need a manual of "how Vegas works" (the PDF you can download, explaining the way Vegas works), but I also don't want a manual of "how to prevent Vegas from crashing".
Just place an audiofile on the track, fiddle around, undo something... that's how it should work.
Not "place audio, fiddle, crash".
The crashes are not even consistent.
Sometimes I can "undo" a series of 50 very complex "undo situations" and all goes well.
And when I simply "undo" a basic parameter (say change 45% to 50%), Vegas crashes because of the "undo overflow bug".
I like Vegas for it's simplicity and Goofy-like interface (cartoony and graphical), but don't want those freaking bugs.
EDIT
It also crashes like crazy when editing a normal envelope, without undo - see newly added movie.
Like the freaking bezier is sticked to the mousepointer ('though the crash refers to a "undo buffer").
Just click and crash.
