Izotope Updater Keeps Crashing

IZotope Vocal Doubler is a free plug-in designed to enhance your vocal with a natural doubling effect, adding richness and depth. Our acclaimed doubling technology has been reimagined with a brand new interactive UI dedicated to helping you achieve a great double faster than ever. The new Logic Pro 10.5 has updated the OpenGL requirements for plugins. This caused certain iZotope software to crash when opened. We've updated installers for the products below, use their download links to install the fixed version: VocalSynth 2.

Apple has a vast user base for its iPhone, iPad, iMac, and MacBook series simply because of the smooth user experience.

Since a lot of people use the iMacs and MacBooks across the globe, they face issues which are either widespread or at an individual level but similar in nature.

Apple recently released the macOS Big Sur update version 11.3.1 with some security improvements.

However, users of the MacBook are facing an issue which seems to have been around for quite some time.

As per multiple reports from various online platforms, users are still facing the crashing and kernel panic issue.

I’ve been using MacBook Pro 16″ 2019 for over a year now. In the beginning I used to have more frequently those “Your computer has restarted due to a problem” messages/restarts. At some point I guess due to updates, these restarts stopped until last night. I put my Mac to sleep and this morning I found it crashed and restarted again.

I’ve had 4 kernel panics in 2 months. While not excessive, it’s 4 more than I want, and it seems more frequent than I had with Intel.

While it might appear that the issue can be specific to some users, the number of user reports suggest otherwise.

Also, it is unclear what is causing this issue as Apple has not made any announcements on the matter so far.

It is, however, evident that the crashing and kernel panic problem is still around even after macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 came out.

I was using my MBP 16 and suddenly freezes and shutdown. Just watching YouTube. Then the laptop goes into a loop, restarting itself, fan runs like crazy for a second then shutdown. Again and again.

Anybody else getting kernel panics every week? Happens under low load just browing the web. It’s getting annoying. Never had a Macbook that was this bad.

For one user, downgrading the MacBook from macOS Big Sur to Catalina resolved the issue whereas some users with external displays tried switching to display port 1.2 to fix the said issue.

I had the same issues. Switching to DisplayPort1.2 fixed the Kernel Panics for me.

For a while REAPER has been crashing often when I insert a plugin. This is NOT normal behavior and not what I am used to seeing. After a dozen crashes this morning I stopped trying to mix and tried to figure it out.

Clearing the plugin cache didn’t help and neither did installing the latest update. Eventually I found a preference that I normally have enabled was actually disabled. This option is called ‘Bypass audio while opening plug-in config window‘ in the Plug-ins>VST settings.

The good news is REAPER doesn’t crash anymore, the downside is playback glitches momentarily when inserting a plugin or opening the UI (which is the reason I disabled it before).
If REAPER is crashing often, give this a try.
