Sonar X2 on SSD and Win-64 bit - Please Read

 Dear all,Good day! A few Days ago I completely refreesh my Setup and gave everything I have a clean Installation on a new Samsung SSD 830. THis I made because I would like to have less loading time and quicker access to Audio etc. Yes, I got a very huge "AHA Effect" on alomst all I have installed on this new SSD: Windows is Booting in 18 sec (40 sec on old HD) All Standolne VST now ready to start in less 0,1 sec. FL Studio Demo Version Projekt open in 3 sec (and hey this Projekt is far 400MB big) Magix Musikmaker 1 sec. Cubase 5 (yes its old) but open a very very big Projekt (far 1.5 GB Hig Res Audio Files + FX in...ok in 12 sec. But, and this mean seriously BUT..., The first fact I´ve recon is that the loading time of a very simple 8 Track Audio (6 to 20 Mb each), 4 VST Instruments and a couple of FX needs 9 to 11 sec. - for what? There is nothing, just the simplicity himself, what the hell ! It´s exactly the same time as on my 5 years old Samsung Hard Drive. Same problem I recon If I use the "Screenswitching" every Screenswitch needs up to 7 sec. ... Phenom II (4x 3.4Ghz) + GTX 470 Amp - SSD --> this is completely absurd! Also I got many troubles If I prev. play Audio or Rex Files. Sonar is stable only from a couple of minutes , then Sonar X2 is crashing my ASIO Drivers and my Speakers punished my Ears. And I have no Ideas why it happen because with Sonar X1 this never happen. All above mentioned is reproducable anytime and only with Sonar X2 Sonar X2 is slow as hell, all other software is running like hell on my new setup. But why? This is not normal! Does somebody made same experiences or does somebody have some good suggestions for me to be happy again with my DAW. Please to hear anything Brdgs Bluntis2 - sorry for my bad english -

    Welcome to the forum. Have you optimized your system for audio? Also what audio interface are you using (I don't see one I recognize in your specs)? You can try adjusting your latency settings to help stop the crashes. More RAM on your system might help too.

    Looks like you've installed every piece of software known to mankind. Clean reinstall of windows. Go minimal. Having said that what you have written is not specific enough to warrant a specific enough answer. Sorry.
