beeps, no just this one.  years ago I had a different one, "guglielmo", or something like that.   As computers die I do lose track of my various avatars.

I have Sonar on three computers. My desktop which is very complex, a tablet and a laptop. Sonar Platinum runs on all three quite well.   

Hmm 3PC's = two licenses (one license = 2 PC's, can't use them at the same time). You bought it twice?

Lordy...

Yes whatever, but the new avatar "soundwise" sounds a whole lot like "John" aka "I love sonar" aka "it's all good"

I don't know what my posts sound like to you, but yours surely don't sound very friendly. Had I been working for the Cakewalk, I would take pride in it and definitely would not disguise it, but I do not possess skills that might be useful for the software development. Besides that, what is the reason to promote Sonar among registered users? I can't see any. Can you?
Please, William, keep it on topic and do not make it personal.
 

I'm getting random auto-save crashes. Now extremely paranoid and have to manually save often because an auto-save crash means that the auto-save file gets corrupted.
 
I've put a feature request on the new feature forum for Sonar to have an auto-save folder (next to the per project audio folder) that is always saving a new file version as opposed to saving over the previous auto-save. This would at least allow all work up to the auto-save crash to be salvaged. Not too much interest there though... :-(
 
Big projects take FOREVER to load, which is pretty frustrating. Seeing regular crashes on opening sessions, closing sessions, closing the program and less frequently freezing tracks and using region FX. Other various (but potential other manufacturer's errors) are UAD cards not always unloading all FX after closing sessions (not a problem before JP or in X2) and SP occasionally can't play through my RME MADI FX AES output (this is also new with JP and not something I've ever seen with X2). Not the end of the world (often just restart program or with the latter issues, restarting the computer)... but pretty embracing when clients visit.
 
Also seeing quite a few take lane/comping errors and issues. I'm compiling a long list to send to Cakewalk in the next week or so. Pretty unhappy about these as it has made comping a nightmare at times. I've been persistently finding workarounds for all of these issues though and slowly gaining speed again.
 
Tried the usual fixes besides a complete reinstall. So busy working that it has been hard to fit it in, but the wasted time using SP makes me wish I had never made the move from X2. Now locked in using the Region FX for my current project.
 
I have a really nice computer (ADK built Hex-Extreme - Win 7 64bit) and will say that Platinum isn't as stable as X2 or Pro Tools 11 over here. Crashes are a daily and most often hourly occurrence on SP and a weekly experience on X2 or Pro Tools.
 
Glad it's working out for so many people though. Hopeful for continued solid support and features from the guys at Cakewalk and confident they can slowly work through the bugs. It must be extremely difficult sorting through and troubleshooting all of the possible setups! Cakewalk user since midi only 3.0 from the twelve tone days.

The load on one core is a known bug. Agree JP not stable... Go to ipswitch update 1 or Gloucester.

Bristol_Jonesey
Disagree.
 
JP has been totally stable on all 3 of my systems (yes, three!)
DAW, Desktop & Laptop
 
I forget what a crash looks like.

Well there are a number of reproducible JP issues confirmed by the bakers in these very forums so it's not really an opinion thing any more, glad your workflow clearly bypasses these issues.

We will just wait and hope to see what this months release brings I guess..

Ta.

John, having sonar on three computers would seem to identify you as a Cakewalk employee, right?  In which case, it would be the moral thing to not post as you do..

I can confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am the first and only Cakewalk employee participating in this conversation up to this point.

I have Sonar on three laptops and wish I worked for Cakewalk!
 
Williamcooper - have a good long look at Joeys Avatar and you might just pick up a subtle clue that will in future alert you when someone from Cakewalk comments. This newfound knowledge will save you from needlessly insulting  people who spend a lot of time helping us out - you know - out of the goodness of their heart. 
 
Given the large number of copies of Sonar that are out there, the problems discussed on this forum are hardly a significant enough sample size to declare it unstable. If you believe it is, here's why:

Happy to help.
 
PS. No way does that Joey bloke work for Cakewalk:)
 
 
 
 

I think you all have too much time on your hands.

I salute all the helpful people here...

Then don't forget to salute yourself, you contribute a lot to this forum and it's appreciated.

I feel like a newbie here...

We're ALL newbies here, it's just that some have more experience than others 
 
Anyone who thinks they've mastered recording is misguided - there's always more to learn. I have the privilege of hanging out with some very high-level recording engineers and musicians, and they often mention some tip of mine they've read and found useful. And then more often than not, they'll tell me about some variation on it they came up with on it I never would have considered, or some cool tip of their own. I think maybe one reason why they are high-level recording engineers and musicians is because they realize how much they don't know, so they're always looking to improve.
 
Despite working with SONAR constantly since its inception, I continue to learn all kinds of useful tips from these forums, and they come from all levels of users.

jatoth have no idea where to start.

you can look in the windows event viewer, if sonar hasn't "grabbed" the error itself there might be something there
 
maybe there's room for a feature request, to enable some kind of "debug logging" for these kinds of issues? (where sonar doesn't realise its crashing)
 
good luck!

If the FabFilter is already oversampling internally, which is likely, could upsampling in SONAR be the culprit by pushing the sampling rate into an unacceptable range?
