3 X3 issues

The saga of moving this project to X3 continues.
 
1:: today I find some SD samples are clipping/distorting.   Remedy: "replace" the synth
   I did not use the REPLACE SYNTH function cuz I do not know what part of the signal chain is compromised. 
Insert new synth, change outputs on midi channels
Copy envelopes from output channels
Create new bus, route tracks to it   Drum is not distorted.  Smiling for a minute.
Attempt to replicate settings from input/ out put tracks to new  output tracks
 
SO::::: 
 
2::  when attempting to compare track settings I find I cannot stop the track view and console view from being in sync.
I have change this setting repeatedly and closed/opened Sonar:
      Track manager: Clear the "Keep track/console visibility states in sync check box and click OK."
 
3::  I open the instance of boost in the replaced SD output tracks, save the preset to a new unique name. I click the save button twice and confirm save/replace (I always do this cuz there is no confirmation that it was saved. been like this forever).
I insert a new instance of boost and attempt to select the just saved preset. NO JOY:  it is not in the list of saved presets. 
This also has been an issue (for me) for years.
 
I have closed/opened/rebooted and the above issues are still there.
 
(Yesterday when I loaded the project I found some of the buses had changed routing. Prolly Loki.)
 
Any thoughts about any of it?

    Try looking in User/appdata/roaming/cakewalk/sonar X3
     
    And try putting some system info in your sig so we know what you are using.

    Not much info to go on. Where did the project come from? Does SD mean Session Drummer and are you moving from SD2 to SD3? Are you doing 32 or 64-bit? Are you moving from 32 to 64, and if so, are you using different versions of Boost? Are you trying to save the Boost preset through the VST header? If so, have you checked out this tip on how to do so properly?
     
    I have a feeling the solution is something simple and you're overcomplicating this because you're not sure what the simple thing is. For example if SD3 samples are clipping or distorting, the issue could be on the mixer page, or any one of a number of things but there are plenty of ways to prevent clipping without having to replace the synth...
     
    I suggest you provide more details about individual problems and tackle them one at a time. Start with the "can't save Boost 11" presets and see if the above tip helps.

    I apologize for assuming what is not apparent.
     
    I was hoping someone had had similar unhappiness and had found reasonable fixes.
     
    ------------------------------------------
     
    Moving from 8.5.3 to X3e
      initially could not drag and drop icons: cloned ALL tracks, deleted old, and drag and drop works
       many buses did not work: no input and/or no output even though tracks were routed to them
               insert new buses, and fix routing and all works correctly
     
    My current 3 issues appear to be also reflective of what is prolly a corrupted project.
     
    I replaced SD, changed routing, and the samples work fine. No distortion.  Not an issue with the SD mixer. Saved preset, opened in the instance, and samples work correctly from same midi tracks.
     
    track/console sync:  after rebooting a few times:  now when I click on a synth in the browser the console window moves to the input track, but the track window does not move.
    When i click on a track in the track view the console view changes.
    Clicking in the console window does NOT change the track view.
    Is this how it is supposed to work? 
        I was expecting the track and console would be completely independent.
     
    That the Boost presets are not in the list for a new instance is something I have experienced with Sonitus plugs for years.
     
    I will continue to replace the synths and stuff hoping all will be resolved before I forget my name.

    And::::
     
    I change the setting in the track manager to sync views.
    And now when I click on a strip in the console
      the track view tracks do not move
    BUTTTTT:::: the inspector changes to the selected track in the console.
     
    I am now inclined to change the video card.
     
    yet::: I am having NO problems in with any other program similar to this stuff.
     
    Could it be the "old" audio drivers are affecting display changes in Sonar? 
     
    I changed the audio interface to test. No change.
     
    Loki!
