Mine was a brand new empty project.
 
I'll start on the vid now.

Got to this party late...
 
jb101 - are you using a dual monitor setup?
 
Reason being, I have the track view on the left monitor and the console view on the right monitor.
(X2a Producer, 64-bit)
 
If I open the GUI in an FX bin it sits on top of the console.
 
But click on the console or track view and the GUI slips behind the console.
(I can shrink the console, or drag the top of the console screen down, and there behind it is the missing GUI...)
 
If I drag the GUI over to the left monitor, it will remain on top of the track view, even if I click on something in the console or track view.
 
I end up doing a lot of GUI dragging, but if I need the GUI to stay visible, this is how I have to do it...

Hello All...
 
I really appreciate this thread.
I'm salivating about X3 (as usual with all upgrades, updates, et al...I'm a long time Cakewalk user)
One thing I've learned is to read up on the forum as to program bugs, user reports of functionality and such...
I've had a few minor oddities in 8.5 and X2 ...the Cakewalk staff worked really hard on the 8.5 issue as it seemed to have been something known and as of yet had to be reconciled. The issue in X2a was (sort of) remedied when one of the staffers commented on a screen freeze problem when inserting any soft synth ...the issue still exists on my computer but clicking in the taskbar after instantiation unfreezes the screen instantly.

This problem sounds like something I'd like to follow ... Thanks again, y'all
 

This missing GUI bug happens with R-Mix Sonar in X2a when X2a's memory usage gets high (above 2Gb) and has been a reported bug for some time which can effect some plugins. The GUI bug seems to get worse as Sonar X2a's uses more memory.
 
I stopped using R-Mix Sonar in X2a, because of it. You would start a project with it working and later on R-Mix would just have a blank display.
 
So it would seem the bug is still present in X3.

How do I send a .cwb file to Cakewalk?

Some insane service there, eh jb? Gotta love it! I hope you get your issue taken care of. As far as a bundle file, you shouldn't have to send them one unless one of the Bakers asks for it. Most times (in the past for me) they just want a .cwp MINUS any audio. So kill all the audio, leave any midi stuff and any plugs and then just save that as "name of song CW" or something so you know what it is. It should be small enough to email if they ask you for it. Good luck!

Tanks foryour suggestion.
 
I don't think it can be a memory issue, as gswitz and I have both found it on "empty" projects, and it only seems to affect plugs in FXchains modules.

It is seems to be a memory issue on X2a for R-Mix and also it seems other things are coming into play as it happens straight away on your projects in X3a.
 
Have they fixed the GUI memory bug for R-Mix in X3a and caused another bug?. I have not got X3a, so I cannot try out R-Mix with large memory projects to test if the bug is still there.

I created CWBRN-20082. Cakewalk bug report.

In this bug that I did the video for, it is a tiny brand new project with no midi or audio. Just two effects. Memory error?

I have just noticed that if you pin the zoom out Quad Curve EQ and change screensets, then it has gone when you revert.

Jonathan, I have X2a still installed here. If you'd like me to test something for you, I'll gladly do it. Can you please give me the exact order you're doing things and what you want me to do? I'll do it right now for you if you happen to see this. :)
 
P.S. I'm at home though and only have a single monitor. If that's not a problem, just tell me what to do and I'll check it out for you.

We can reproduce this now successfully and are aware of it.  Thanks!

Nice one, Dan G, you've been great.
 
And thanks, Danny D, for your interest and offer.  You are a gentleman.

JB101,
 
Yes, my name is Geoff.
 
Yes, the problem exists identically in X2.
 
I have the same behavior pinning the flyout EQ where it does not remain pinned in the screenset through changes in current screen set.
 
:-) We're a good team.
 
Best, Geoff

Thanks, Geoff.
 
It's so odd.  Why haven't I noticed this before in X2?  Did I not notice (or anyone else), or did installing X3 do something?  Also, why did it take a copy of my project for Cake to reproduce this?  I was starting to think this was system specific, and maybe you and I shared some strange configuration, but surely that wouldn't transfer with the .cwp file?  Would it?
 
Anyhow, thank you so much for your help and time.  This forum, with people like you, and Cake's staff (I think I've been in contact with at least four of them in the last week), are a major plus to using Sonar.
 
I've learnt a lot from reading your posts in the past.  Keep it up..
 
All the best,
 
 
Jonathan
