There appears to be a memory leak with the Sonitus Delay shipped with X1

Hi all.  I'm a bit shy when it comes to posting on forums, but I visit this one often.  I noticed the amount of memory committed to sonarpdr.exe, using the Windows taskmanager as a tool, would increase with each toggle of the audio engine in X1, and never release the memory.  There was a post awhile back about the Sonitus delay having this problem in 8.5.x, with the solution being to replace SonitusFXDelay.dll with the version provided with Sonar 8.0.  The Sonitus delay version provided with X1 says 3.3.4.184.  The Sonar 8.0 delay is 3.3.3.221.  This seems to fix the memory leak, so far!

    I remember somewhere someone saying there was a leak in that delay plug waaay back before x1.

    But my memory may be bad.

    Hi Fredank, thanks for your advice! I use a lot the sonitus delay and is also eating slowly all the memory from the system untill it crashes sonar. Every "play-stop" it adds 10Mb to the sonarpdr.exe on the windows task manager...so if someone is using it, is a MUST to roll back to the old version!

    Also it has changed the version of my sonitus delay on my sonar 8.5.3!  and now sonar 8.5 is doing the same memory leak.

    I will reinstall the sonitus plugins from my sonar 8 discs for downgrading..

    Hey Fred, I'm really glad you did decide to post about this. I use that plugin a lot. Do you eventually get an error or a crash because of this? If so, what's the error?

    Here's a link to a post in the old thread that's a good place to start reading.

    http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=1996761

    At that time, 3.3.3.141 that came with the 8.5 physical kit was the bad one, and all others (specifically 3.3.1.298, 3.3.3.221, and 3.3.3.372) seemed to be okay. I'm not sure it mattered whether you were running x86 or x64 SONAR. I had 3.3.3.372 installed with SONAR x64 from the 8.5 download, and that's the one I'll be going back to.
    Good thing I made a backup of my Shared folders before upgrading for exactly this eventuality.

    Thanks for the heads up, fr(ed).

    This is frustrating that this is back but good to know about. I know that the version shipped on the 8.5 discs has this bug too.... guess it's time to reinstall Sonar 6!

    Hi, I just overwrited de sonitus ".dll" file with the old version and the memory leak has gone!
     
    Everybody who is using the sonitus delay MUST changed it, even if the plugin is bypassed on the sonar project the memory leak goes on and on...then after some time recording the system gets out of memory and sonar automaticaly crashes...

    Does anyone know if any of the other Sonitus items suffer from similar issues?

    Holy Freakin' Crap!

    How is this not fixed? I didn't know if I had this file, so I opened up the Task Manager / Performance tab and checked out my memory useage before opening X1. I then opened up a project with X1 and the total memory used was 2 gigs for the total system out of my 12 gigs. Ok, no big deal. I then held down the space bar on my keyboard with some headphones and guess what happened?

    Within 2 1/2 minutes, my memory useage went all the way to 12 gigs!
    And then it started using the cache as well and then my system stopped responding and gave me the white screen of death followed by the blue screen of death. Wow!

    It was leaking at about 60 megs every few seconds.

    I double checked the file version of the Sonitus Delay on my system and it is the .184 version mentioned above. How can this possibly still be in there?

    I can imagine all of the random crashes we get coming from this. In a typical workday with Sonar, we will start and stop the project 1000 times tweaking midi data and other things. Maybe that's why Sonar will work great all day and then crash for no reason. Well maybe this plug-in is the reason.

    This is very disappointing learning about this bug that has been known for so long and is such a simple fix as using the file version from 8.0

    I'm digging out my FREAKIN' 8.0 disks right now.

    eeek
    I've only got X1, 8.5, 7.0, 6.0, and 5.0 disks....I run Sonar64 on W7x64 - I never bought 8.0
    Where do I get a working plug?

    Happens with X1 on my system - same plugin version.  About 3K per start/stop on my system, so it'll take a while to go through several gigs of memory...

    Use the one from the 8.5 download, if you have it.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    No probs here with that one.

    Also if you use the installer it will register the correct .dll just swapping the file may not have the required effect.
