Weird X1 Freeze / bounce problem - only when top console bar is viewable (CW ID 5429)

okay, here's a weird new tidbit... It even affects project save times! If the C toolbar is up, it takes 5 times longer to save my project. 

How weird is that.

Wow Josh, I can't believe no one from the bakery saw this and responded to you. That's the weirdest thing in that vid! It doesn't do that on my end on the machines I have X1 installed on. Even my net box (stripped down Dell, 4 gig RAM, i3 processor etc) works well and freezes way faster than what you have going on there even if I have more effects present. This is something you definitely want to try to get Seth or Willy to see. I think they may have just missed this thread. I wouldn't even know where to begin here other than maybe uninstalling X1 completely, deleting all folders and then removing any existing registry keys and starting over. Something is definitely not right with that.

Even when you do remove the bar though, it seems to take a pretty long time even for those few effects you have going on. I can freeze with my i3 box with more effects than that and be done way sooner even at what you consider "The fast speed". Something is so not right man.

I know this is probably dumb to ask because you probably know about all this stuff, but how many things do you see running when you bring up task manager? In my experience, anything in the 50's as far as running processes has sometimes slowed me down depending on what may be running within those 50 things. My net box runs 43 things that need to be there, my recording pc runs 37 things that need to be there (both Win 7 64 using X1 32) and my lappy runs like 52 or so using Vista. Lappy sometimes slows down a bit, but I can still freeze things faster than your current fastest speed. I'd suggest sending Seth or Willie Jones a pm with the link to your vid with a short message. I think they will seriously want to see this unless they have and have contacted you already. I'm also quite surprised that no one in our community has seen anything like this. That's a killer machine you got there bro...there's no way it should be slow at anything. I wish there was something I could add that would help you here....but all I can really say is "wow...wth is causing that?!" LOL! I really hope you get it sorted out man...best of luck. 

I thought the problem of freezing, bouncing, exporting with the tool bar showing was well known?--solution being to always minimize it during those routines.  But I also thought this was one of the things addressed in one of the updates?

I'm not sure because I'm currently having to use a computer without my X1 on it.

What happens if you have SONAR displayed in the other monitor?

I only ask because the issue some how seems display related.

I think you did a great job by gong to the trouble of showing us what you are up against.

Good luck,

Hey Josh,

I had this exact same problem happening to me 100 per cent of the time. I submitted a report and when trying to formalize an exact recipe I could no longer reproduce it. It hasn't happened to me since.

Josh - exactly the same happens to me.
To be honest, I rarely have the control bar showing but when it is and I bounce - it takes forever. When I don't have it open - the bounce takes no time at all.
I also have the problem with the control bar disappearing.
I set my preferences/buffer size etc long ago'

So, after changing the BounceBufSizeMsec to 100, it didn't fix the issue, but it also introduced a new issue.


The bounce is off in timing. The audio tracks are delayed slightly behind the soft synths (BFD2 primarily). So I put it back to 0 and now it bounces in time again.

I should have started submitting bug reports in the past =).
