X1 and Jamstix 3x- need help plz...

I guess Ive lost my mind again ; )

Use to, I load in Jamstix into Sonar, Load a kit, create a song, hit the record button and the meternome starts up, jamstix go thru its intro and plays the song as I have laid out with the midi notes on the midi track.


Running Windows 7, 32 bit....

Now when I load Jamstix3 (latest beta vst) into X1 (with latest patches) , I load a kit, use the wizard to create a song, pick a drummer, enable the record buttons on the midi/audio track and then hit record, and jamstix does not start up and run, and I have no meternome running, and I get a blank midi track with Jamstix 3 still sitting at 1-1 when I stop... Clicking indiviually on the drum heads in JS I have drum sounds ok... The host just wont run Jamstix when I click on record...

What in the world am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help...

    Hi Mike-

    Does SONAR's transport move? From your description it sounds like maybe Jamstix is the only thing in your project so far. I don't have X1, but in 8.x there's a preference to stop or not at the project's end. You can either disable the stop, or put an event in a track way out there somewhere to get the transport moving.

    Yes the Transport for Sonar moves just fine... I just cant seem to get Jamstix to run once I hit the record button...

    You didn't unlock it from the host song position, by any chance? There's a lock icon next to the Power knob for that.

    No. The lock/unlock from host song position is in the locked state in Jamstix.

    I also just tried BFD, and although I did trigger the verses and fills with a keyboard (versus jamstix doing its own thing), it recorded and played back ok... I cant for the life of me figure out what I did to cause this....

    Anyone know what might be the problem? Something I might have turned off by accident perhaps?

    Ok according to Ralph (after looking at the log) He says that there is no time info received by JS from Sonar X1 (32bit with all latest patches).
     
     I have "the main JS man" looking into it. ; )

    Anyone else seen this please chime in (with any fixes if you might have them)...

    Thanks, and I will report back here when Ralph has the fix...

    is it all possible in the preference menu inder midi..a setting which will trigger js..if js isnt getting any messages,possibly it not getting the midi messages from sonar.(im guessing here..i dont really know much about js)but i do slave an external drum machine to sd3.i have to set up mtc to slave it..it may be under clock or synch.
    if i dont set it up.it wont start my devise..playback will roll but no drums.
    have you also checked you inputs and pactches in the track box to make sure its routed properly?..dont know much here mikey.though i dont agree with you on your opinion of sonar..im not going to let you sit here helpless..i feel for you.
    sux when you cant record properly...its hard enough to be creative than to have to deal with technical bull.good luck

    I love Sonar Chuck... Just hate the bugs... And I will try and relook at all the routes and switches... Im pretty sure this issue is on my end. I have either turned somthing off that should be on, or system mechanic has  ; )... testing 1,2,3....

    What jam mode are you using? If you have audioM8 in the project, did you try disabling or removing it?

    Thanks Chuck and Susan for your help.

    Ive decided (after a reinstall of Sonar which didnt help) to format. One of the reasons for even running a PC for me was Jamstix and Sonar.

    Ill keep you posted... Yes, I know its alot of work, but the gremlins are stubborn and pesky. No telling what else I may find later...

    If you haven't started your reformat yet, do check for audioM8 -- I know that caused some problems for me, and it hasn't been updated in years. Worth checking, IMO.

    Good luck!

    Update....

    After reformating and installing Windows7 with all its patches, X1 with all its patches, and Jamstix 3 with all its patches..., it all seems to work now.

    There is something to staying off those Britney Spears websites after all...



    Oh, and tell Strati-poo I didn't blame it on X1's history this time....(snickers while ducking thrown things)

    who is strati-poo? and mikey..tell us the truth..which button did you forget to press...lol.
    hey you wanna know something that might help ya..once in awhile the midi engine needs a jump start..seriously..if you load jamstix and nothing is happening..just hit the play button and hit stop..then try it.
    i saw seth reseting the engine in a video..thats where i got it from.
    peace,good luck.
    p.s. i know it wasnt operator error,i was just funning you.hang in there..the daw has potential.
