When listening to my project I hear a loud pop and the audio level indicators go red?
Hi, when listening to my project I hear a loud pop and the level indicators go into the red. If I play the project again it's OK. Also if I try to add another midi track I sometimes can't hear what I'm playing although it's still being recorded, or I can hear what is being played for a few seconds then it hangs. If anyone has any ideas I'd be really grateful.

Welcome to the forum!.
Please give your gear specs, what softsynths etc you are using. Then we have something to start with.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

Hi apologise for not getting back to you sooner. Ok I'm using SONAR Professional, on a hp Envy 700-570na using an i7-4790 Quad core processor @ 3.60 GHz with 16 GB RAM, Windows 8.1. My mixer / audio interface is a Beringer XENYA 1202USB. My midi controller is a Beringer UMX490. As for the midi hanging, it appears to happen with any synth? Also the project seems to take a long while to load.

David same thing happens takes an eternity to load a simple song. Splutters and stops without apparent spiking.
Hope they fix these issues in there monthly releases. I have to wait until the end of the month to see improvements if not I will have to wait till the month after!!!

Hi dappa 1, thanks for that. I didn't know they had monthly updates. Fingers crossed then.

To be honest, I don't think any future update by Cakewalk is going to solve your problems - if this was a generic problem the boards would be in total meltdown.
As it is, there seem to be a very small number of isolated incidents which sort of points the finger at your system/configuration/hardware etc.

Hi, David, I have this mixer Behringer XENYX 1202USB and never used it as an audio interface because the company didn't make available decent drivers for it. What drivers are you using?

Here are some thoughts:
What audio devices do you have selected in Sonar?
Have you disabled your onboard audio card (usually a good idea)?
Are you using ASIO4ALL? (not so good)
Do you have the latest audio drivers installed?
Can you load a VST in stand alone mode and have it work?
These are just a few thoughts that might help debug the problem.
It almost sounds like it might be a loop. Hope you get it sorted out!

Unfortunately, Behringer instructs their clients to use Asio4ALL. Retrieved from Behringer's forum: "Seth, You will notice underneath where the ASIO4ALL driver is on those webpages it says:ASIO4ALL USB Audio Driver
- Combined 32/64-bit 3rd party driver for Windows
- Supports Windows XP to 7 (32/64-bit)
- For OS X no drivers required
This is indeed the driver you are are looking for. Have you tried installing it yet?

This post was completely misleading and unhelpful. This is a relatively new poster looking for solutions to a specific problem. By immediately blaming Sonar when there is a plethora of other possible (and much more likely) reasons you have done this individual a great disservice. Sorry to call you out like that, dappa but that just isn't cool. If you are having your own issues then of course there are mountains of people here willing to help you sort them out. Peace.

For the record, I have experienced the problem the OP is describing. Usually for me, the only cure is to close the project; close SONAR, and re-open it, starting a clean session. I always suspected a memory leak of some kind that only appears after a specific sequence of workflow.
I primarily use Dimension Pro 1.2 (DX); Arturia CS-80v; and MinimogueVA VST. My audio interface is Echo Layla 3G, in SONAR (x86) on Windows 7 (x64) with 8GB RAM.
But this is all different since a few days ago, and I haven't experienced the problem recently. Take it for what it's worth.

I would bet that you (the OP) have some kind of plugin conflict. I had exactly the same problem, except that I could never get the project to play at all. I have discovered that I have some kind of VST install problem because the culprit was the VST3 version of both Imperial Delay and T-Bone from Boz Digital Labs. I'm pretty certain that there is nothing wrong with these specific plugins, rather something is amiss in my installation. To make everything run again, I removed the VST3 versions of these plugins from every project in which I had used them, and replaced them with the VST2 version. This magically fixed everything. I think it is some kind of installation mistake where the 32-bit versions of these is getting referenced in a 64-bit world, but I'm not really sure. I know that the VST3 install path is different, but I don't know how to differentiate the 64-bit VST3's from the 32-bit VST3's, if there is such a thing. Perhaps a member of the Illuminati could shed a little light into our prevailing darkness. >8] ADVthanksANCE -Jack (gee, it's dark in here...)

I have occasionally ran into a problem that sounds like what the OP is reporting. For me, it seems to be related to the Concrete Limiter (or another PC VST) in the ProChannel, usually on a bus. My current theory is that it has something to do with upgrades resulting in multiple copies of VSTs laying about my computer. The fix that seems to work for me has been to remove the Concrete Limiter from the PC and then re-insert it (note the settings before removing).
I'm thinking that this may also be happening when I work on a project in multiple versions (X2, X3, SPlat) of Sonar.
Disabling effects globally ("E") tends to turn it off, re-enabling them brings the problem back. Turning off the PC on the problem channel does the same thing. If this is the case for the OP, try reloading your PC modules and saving the project.
