Mixing Console causing gui to crash

Good Morning , I'm having issues with mixing console. Vegas 21 build 300.

My project contains 20 music tracks and i'm mixing them together to form a mixed album.

Whilst having mixing console open full screen on monitor 2, after adjusting the volume for each track the Screen starts to play up with Blue inserts for the meters , and the main editing window gets corrupted dotted lines and the drop down menus fail to appear.

I'm able to hit the save icon , exit the program and reload.

it appears to happen around the 15 track mark. (+-5)

It does not seem to matter if I'm adding track Eq or not to the mix.

my latest test was just adjusting the volume looking at the VU meters and problem occurred at track 20

it happens every single time i edit a file.

Ps it also happens on my laptop running windows 11 home build 22621 amd ryzen 5 radion graphics 2301mhz 6 cores 8g ram

Many Thanks

Leney

I wish that I had a solution to suggest to you for that. I have had that 'blue crash' - which happens randomly - so many times with Sound Forge Pro from SF10-16 for over a decade. I've often had the feeling that its caused by using the volume icon in SF too many times in the one editing session because the 'blue crash' always seems to happen when hitting the volume icon. Your image looks remarkably similar to what happens in Sound Forge. I see that you are using .mp3 audio events whereas I use .wav in Sound Forge.

But if its happening at the same point on the timeline and with the same audio event/s, the audio event/s might be corrupted in some way. If you know which audio event or group of audio events are at the point where the 'blue crash' occurs, try transcoding them to another codec such as .wav in an audio editor or separately in Vegas Pro and then replace them on your project's timeline. Then go to the Project Media window and click on the "Remove All Unused Media from the Project" button in the top LH corner of the Project Media window in order to get rid of any memory of the now deleted media from the project's .veg file.

Thank you , I agree with the 'adjusting the volume' thing too many times as that's the part of my process for levelling the each track.

It's random and never the same track. I've created 7 different albums and every one has had the same issue .

At the moment , I just save after every track is at the right level so I don't loose my work if VP decides to crash out completely

Many Thanks for your tips , I'll give them a try

Best regards
