SONAR 7 AND BFD CRASH

HAVING A REAL PROBLUM I HAVE WINDOWS 7 PROFESIONAL -64 BIT / SONAR 7 AND JUS UPGRADED TO BFD 3 - AND IT OPENS AND BFD3 RUNS FINE IN STAND ALONE - BUT AS A VST PLUG WHEN U OPEN THE SYNTH PLUG INSIDE SONAR7 IT IMEDIETLY- DISPLAYES A CRASH LOG AND SHUTS SONAR 7 DOWN ?................IV TROUBLE SHOT THIS THE BEST I KNOW AND AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT THOUGHT ID COME TO CAKE FORUM ....ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED -THANKS

THE SYS 64 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM IS AN INTEL I5-4590CPU @3;30GHZ - 4GIG OF RAM
WINDOWS 7 PRO SERVICE PACK 1
THANKS FOR HELPING
 

Hi again APDS, I worry about only 4GB RAM, since Windows OS alone uses a good chunk of it.
Did you set a default Preset Drum kit to load when inserting BFD3 ? You may have to scale it down to suit your limited computer environment.
 
Also, Sonar 7 goes back many years now, and unfortunately you may have to upgrade to a newer version to utilize BFD3 to it's full potential . . . that said, you still may be able to run it in some form of scaled down mode to get it working until upgrading.
 
From the BFD3 manual . . . check out: global preferences for detail settings and also a detail setting per Drum class so you can specify a single layer, 25%, 50% or the full set of velocity layers for all kicks, snares, toms, cymbals, hihats and percussion.
(This may make it more usable with less computer resources.)
Let us know how it goes.

here was the app crash log - i just wonder if my sonar 7 is legit- i had 6 and bought it a time ago, then when i had a guy bre-build the machine he got a copy off the internet of 7 , it will not let me install the up dates ?

I have windows 7 pro 64 bit and have only 4G of RAM. I run BFD3 with full velocity layers in Sonar(platinum) just fine.

It would surprise me if AD3 won't run on 4GB, but it's entirely possible if running alongside other virtual instruments.
 
When I was running with 4GB, I could easily hit the limit with some of the larger virtual instruments if I didn't freeze some of the other tracks. Only one library (OTS Rick) was actually flat-out too big, requiring more than 2 GB to load its default instrument. I had to create an alternate .nki with fewer round-robins in order to use the instrument.
 
Maybe somebody who's running AD3 could load it up and check RAM usage? That would tell us whether or not we're barking up the wrong tree. I'm not an AD3 user myself, but I know Superior Drummer can get dangerously close to the 2 GB maximum with enough bleed samples loaded. Does AD3 have memory-tuning features like SD2 has?
 

I used to run BFD2 with 4Gb of RAM under XP32 (Sonar 6 - 8)
