Zrythm v1 seems to be unstable on Windows and Mac. It’s a known issue and v2 aims to address it.

What is the point of this post? You didn’t give us even the smallest crumb of information with which to help you. Like, do you want help with this, or do you just want to expend CPU cycles complaining?
