Amplitube IV plugin crashes (a lot) in Ableton Live 10 Lite

[Antonio Bonomo]

Hi, I'm new here - purchased a Focusrite Scarlett 3rd Gen 2i2 and hooked it up to my PC. I've installed Ableton Live 10 Lite and added a ton of plugins. The only one that crashes repeatedly is Amplitube IV. It only crashes Ableton when I close Amplitube IV, and it seems to not crash when there aren't any stomps - it may be just having one stomp in there that causes the problem, or maybe it is because I enabled every stomp, but I'm stumped... I can run it as a stand alone, but I use Ableton for my synth recording as well, so that complicates matters - I don't want to have to run Amplitube by itself and use something like Sound Forge or Audacity to record the audio that's being output, and then export the wav or aiff or whatever, to then import it into Ableton... I searched the forum and didn't see any reports about this, so maybe it is just me.

Thank you for your reply. FYI, I should mention that I had my ASIO sample rate set to 192000, and I've turned it down to 96k (I don't think I need 192k for guitar and synth/sampler!) Anyway, I've tested it a few times and that may have actually solved the problem, though I haven't had it open for any stretch of time, but it isn't crashing instantly when I close the amplitube plugin, like it was doing before, so who knows. This may have made it useful after all. Now if I could just get Pro Tools installed so I could see if I prefer that instead of Ableton...

Yes, you should be OK with 96,000 Hz. It would be worth letting IK ans Ableton know about your findings.

What happens if you try the standalone AmpliTube ("AT4") program at 192,000 Hz?

From the AT4 specs:

"Highest supported Sampling Rate: 96 kHz"
