Logic Pro 11.1 Crashes During Preset Check of Hex FX

Greets:
I decided to give Hex FX a try. I'm going through presets, or starting to, when I hit one and Logic crashes. I did it two more times with the same results, but I'm sure not with the same preset.

Does Hex FX want a bigger buffer size to work with? I am able to veto set the buffer size very low to use with my RME interface on my Apple silicon Mac, and crashes are rare. I have recently tried out an effects plugin that's apparently very CPU heavy and not yet optimized for Apple silicon, but a heavy preset caused crackling noises and I was informed it needs a larger buffer size in the interim.

What say you? Thanks.

Hey Velanche,

I would try increasing your buffer size just to see if it helps - although Hex FX isn't particularly CPU intensive and I can't really see that being the cause of a crash. But give it a go first.

If it still happens can i ask you to start a Help Request (support.serato.com) so that we can troubleshoot a little further and potentially grab a log report from you.

Cheers,
Logan.

Hey Velanche,

We just wanted to know if you are usign a class compliant driver?
Also is there any possibility you could test Hex FX in another DAW with the same settings you are using for Logic?

Cheers
