bugs bugs bugs

I am starting to get seriously pissed with X1; I have about a 20 Sonar crashes a day while editing stuff, I am not able to fade/cross-fade tracks, trouble with importing files from 8.5 -- this is the buggiest piece of software I have ever seen released as a stable version, and it's a pain in the arse to work with.

I have used Sonar since Version 6, but this is really too much. Some eye-candy simply does not make up for the serious problems under the hood.

right, it was basically a vent. I've been working on a project for nearly 4 weeks now, and I wish I had used a different DAW.

I run X1 64bit on Win 7 64bit, 8 GB RAM, Intel i5-2400 4x3.1 GHz, a completely new system, all current patches installed, both for Win and Sonar. Still, I experience heaps of crashes, which sucks big time.

Another huge issue I have is not being able to fade tracks that were recorded with Sonar 8.5, they simply stop playing audio where the fade should start -- I am currently edting tracks, and not being able to crossfade is a major problem. Cakewalk Support has not been helpful, my last email regarding this issue has not been answered for two days; I reported the matter over 2 weeks ago, no step forward, apart from having found out that it is most likely a compatibility bug.

Working with Sonar on this project has brought more frustration than joy - at the end of the day, a DAW simply has to work.

Any ideas as to what I can to do to improve stability and fix this stupid track-fade-problem would be highly appreciated.

[edit] wrong, I just saw I missed some quick fixes, will install these, maybe it helps.

man its strange..cause x1 is so stable for me right now..i just dont get posts likethis.exspecially after the patches anf the fixes...hope it goes well.

hmm. and re-install which version?

what exactly happens when you try to do the fade?

Seth, you can find details in the original thread on this here:


http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2273906


Basically, he is seeing fades, visually, but audio starts/stops abruptly with no fade applied.

i looked at your picture from the other thread.is it possible you have these clips fed to the bus?..and how bout the the edit vew.does it show the change?..these are just some thing that might help you lead in to another solution.

physicaly look at the autotmation and see what it looks like..does it look like the fade should work? and how bout the the edit vew.does it show the change?

The OP is talking about Clip fades, which are independent of automation. There is nothing to "physical" to look at to confirm clip fades are working, other than the output level in the track meter, which I presume is reflecting the fact that the fades are not being rendered.


Incidentally, just so everyone is aware... the OP is in Germany, so his replies will likely be delayed.

nativewhat's the edit view?

I think he thought you were talking about fading by volume automation, and should verify whether the automation envelope was right, and whether the volume widget was following it - not applicable for clip fades.
