hoster program is closing

My fade in was 0 and my fade out was 1.5; I'll change them to 1.5 in and 1.0 out an let you know what happens. I have worked for the past three nights with no shut-downs; I believe I had left my singers list and search open most of the night. Will make sure it is open the next time I play to see if this helps.
Thanks for the advice.

I have changed my Fade In to 1.5, but I'm leaving my Fade Out at 4.0.

I do this because some songs have too much music at the end of the words (i.e., The Dance). I cut it the song off if no one is dancing to it and I like for it to Fade out...

I hate a sharp cut-off, I'd rather have the music Fade out when I click he Stop button. That's also why I requested the Fade out feature on Instabuttons.

Will let you know later this week how my next show goes! However, it could be that it just doesn't happen this week.

Just to add a possibility, the one time I was having random Hoster crashes (about 3 years ago), I thought it was a bug in the program. It was shutting down when it wanted to - no rhyme nor reason, could never duplicate the problem, some nights would go fluidly with not even a skip, other nights it would crash - sometimes more than one time, turns out I not only had a bad hard drive, but my mother board was dying as well. I replaced both and never had a problem since. Never would've thought it was a hardware problem since the computer was not even a year old at the time.
Seems many of the posts here are describing exactly what I went through. May want to have the computer itself checked out, might not be Hoster at all!
Just replaced the MB on my home computer last week as well, although it wasn't Hoster that I was running into problems with - it was everything.

not sure this is the problem..my pc is only about 6 months old; it could be but I seriously doubt it it.

Mine was 8 months.

Ran for over 4 hours last night (Thursday) without a stop! The only change I made was to the Fade In. I went from .5 to 1.5...

But, then again, this has happened before (no stopping) and then later it resurfaces...

Go figure!

I have not been having problems with the program closing since my last posts. Last night my program closed 7 or 8 times; the only thing I did different was use a RGB cable from my computer to the tv monitor rather than a composite (RCA) cable. I have no idea if this would cause the problem, but it is the only change I have made since the last time I had the problem with the program closing.
