Ctrl+S - saving during playback - glitch

I've been fighting this for a while, and I'm not sure what the fix is.  I would assume it's video card/driver related....but perhaps not.
 
During playback, if I Ctrl+S (save), I get a fairly annoying glitch in playback.  On my older systems, with another video card, this has been a non-issue.
 
Maybe someone has an idea?
 
Specs:
Happens in X1 and other versions of Sonar - even at high buffer settings
OS - Happens in both Win7-64 Pro and XP-32
CPU - Core i7-950
MB - Gigabyte - GA-X58-UD3R (rev 2)
Video - Zotac GeForce GTX 460
Memory - Corsair XMS 6GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) Triple Channel Memory
PS:  Cooler Master RS-800-80GA-D3 Silent Pro Gold 800W ATX
 
Thanks for any insight you might have!
 
 

No....doesn't freeze at all.  Just an audible digital glitch for a fraction of a second when I save during playback.

My mantra too...but it's several years worth of habit to ctrl+s.

I'll try it, but it's gonna suck if that's the only way.  SO MUCH quicker/easier to ctrl+s for me.  I can do it without looking - or even thinking about it at this point.

My sound glitch-Sounds similar? Every point they are my meters spike and I get that anoying sound. Pic I am zoomed way in on the track.

Ahh , think I see. While the transport is in motion/playing, you save?

Mines a bad audible also but I can see where it actually is in the sound waves.  The photo is what occured during recording. Wasnt dedetectable during but after finished, there it was. Many points throughout take. First time experiencing this.  Im leaning toward sdmoething interupting X1 software wise but not X1.

Im watching what you come up with to compare. 

Thanks

Actually....I DO quite nomally save during a live recording.  Have been for years without problems.

My CPU usage is actually quite low...say around 20% or so.

All that aside, I'm not even talking about during recording yet.  I'm only discussing the glitch that comes from saving during playback.

Strange.

I just got off the phone with tech support and they tell me that this glitch is normal, and that most people have it if they try to save during playback.

I've been lucky for years I guess....able to ctrl+s during playback AND tracking any time I wish without any glitch.

Autosave....that's a good point.

Yeah man...I've been doing it like that for years now.  As I make changes to the mix on the fly - even while recording - I smack ctrl+s after each change.  All day long....for years.

The ONLY time it has been a problem, it has ALWAYS been video card/driver related.  Find the right video driver and the problem disappears.

I'm kicking myself because I upgraded video cards for this new system since I'm running Win7-64 and having trouble finding a driver for my old video card.

Hmmm...what to do.....

Right....  :o)

But I'm quite often recording other folks, so I have the time to play with the mix during a performance.  And when I make a nice tweak, I like to save it before Sonar goes belly up - which is very rare...but it does happen once in a while unexpectedly.

Of course, there are certain things that Sonar won't allow you to tweak or add during the recording process, but "save" has never been one of them, thankfully.

This is such a process - to upgrade to a new OS, a new machine, AND a new buggy version of the DAW all at the same time.

I realy am quite tempted to go back to XP and try X1 as the 32 bit version.  I bought another hard drive specifically to load Win7-64 and X1.  This way I can get in the machine, swap cables, and be back up and running in XP with Sonar 5 - which has been my choice of Sonar for years now.  With the old Sonar, audio drivers, and video drivers from about 1995 or so this machine runs SO fast and stable.

But I do like the ProChannel.  It's exactly what I needed in Sonar for years now.  X1b SEEMS to have that part of the software acting correctly now...more time is needed to see how stable it is.

Seems weird with the "Autosave" function, I wonder if that causes the same thing.  Anyway glad ya figured it out but sorry ya lost a lil niceity. 

FYI.  Today I confirmed that when I'm recording and use the ctrl+s to save, there is an audible glitch, but there is no recording of the glitch.  No spike...no pop, etc. on playback.  So at least I won't be worrying about that.
