I'm REALLY liking SONAR X3, BUT...

I'm not in front of my DAW, so can't check if I'm experiencing similar behavior - but have you submitted a bug report to CW?

Thanks for the suggestions guys, the issue has already been reported to Cakewalk support (I just made it a bit clearer in my posting)
 
TheSteven;
 
I've tried just about every conceivable thing I can think of as far a saving, resaving, and moving around the custom menu files. I have also even tried re-installing X3 and the updates...No dice.
 
Thanks again though,
-e.B

I've also tried making new plugin menus from scratch. They seem to be created just fine. However, like the other custom plugin menus, I cannot select them using right-click. The 'Default All-Plugins' menu still remains selected.
 
Thanks,
-e.B

done a video on it ......go to prefreence , open asio panel close apply and re do .....
 
by the way e blue  is topped usint X3 after 2 dayz ....can't believe some stuff i have expereience have passed the beta , the only explainatio i have is tha Cakewalk rushed it to be on point fo X3 to be still distributed by Roland .....before the Gibson move or some like that ....if not , bugs are so obvious that the beta testers should be punished !!lol 

My workaround has been to drag fx from the browser where I can use the layout I select, including my custom layout.

Are you even posting in the correct thread?
If you 'done a video' where's the link? Or did you rush your post out so quickly that it bypassed what should have been your mental quality control?
 
If you have a solution post it.
If you have a problem and are looking for a solution open a thread or contribute a post to a thread.
 
If you just want to be a troll - go away...

by the steven calm down i made 2 or 3 threads then i stopped  ..waiting for the new update !!!

By the way i also remember that you gave me a great advice on checking your tools (that i found great by the way) ......so if you don't mind allow people to say waht they want and to ask this Brand to deliver what they can deliver "high quality software" as they used to do ....
 
even if i do my best since years to promote sonar in France in many ways (i aint gonna go details) , it is my duty as a user to say when some wrong .....specilay since i know and can isolate issues ....
 
issues noticed and confimr after 10 min of use :
 
1) plugin layout issue
2) solo track issue
3) slow mutitimbrale plugin inserting
4) bad graphic engine behavior
5) Asio panel issue (asio buffer not displaying)
6) track size scrolling inconsistant
7) not confirmed : VS 700 Act data weirdness
 
i stoped after that , also we lost some goodies (don't know why) like some colors customistation
 

I'm gonna simply reply that : a system working with X1 should work with X3 , if X3 isn't playing well and my system didn't change (fully oprtimized and rock solid for years as i teach Computer optimisation my own)
 
Nothing is system related , those are bugs !!
 
and yes my last comment was a joke .... but get it how you want .....i ain't tripping , really not that important ....
 
We will see with X3C and the bug list .....and then maybe you will consider that i'm not talking wind ....
 
I beta test for a lot of brands , and i know when somthing is serioulsy solid or not .....
 
i do a lot of videos in youtube in X1 and stress the thing like crazy with ONE glitch !!

i ain't even trying on X3 seeing what i experince just recording simple bug videos !!!

Sorry Zo but just because an older version of sonar works on your system, it doesn't mean that if a later version doesn't work it must be sonar code at fault. How you configure and optimise each version of sonar is a factor (eg clean AUD.INI, plugin config etc). Also the software may access your driver/s in a different way. e.g. hook into the driver via more optimal methods, which turns out to be a buggy area of the driver... Then again your virus scanner might be slowing down some specific X3 functionality such as plugin scans.

You could easily be right but I disagree with your written assumptions.... Just saying....

Zo,
 
Out of curiosity - as mentioned in the link, do you have Aero Glass turned off on your system?

 
nope !!

Zo
 
...I say it again  X3 is inferior to X1 and you can feel it from start !!! when it come to smoothness aqnd optimistaion
 
 

Well, that's the thing...   I cannot.  At all.

Ok just for you guyz input  here's my desktop :
 

 
YOU CAN READ BY WHOM IT IS PROVIDED or AT LEAST CERTIFIED AND TESTED by (Roland CE certified workstations) ...
 
I also have one of those at the SAE Paris WHERE I INTRODUCED AND TEACH SONAR !!! so please guyz stop that war on people saying what they think !!! i also endorsed the damn thing !!!! Lord !! is Cakewalk Forum became like US(NS) A ?
 
Can you guyz please may have a small doubt and think a Guy (with a master degree in computing , teaching also (not only) computing at the SAE , Validating tons of computer after testing those , lobbying people to choose workstations for years instead of best buy craps and macs nonsense ,posting actually stress test , lobbying Notebook check to intrroduce DPC latency results in tests , beta testing and helping several brands to dev and integrate , making a lot of Youtube Sonar based videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/ZozillaThaGreat) ect .....)  MIGHT have decent systems !!!
 
We all know that cakewalk Sonar use deep Windows fonctionnality and tools (templates also maybe) so i wonder if X2 and X3 aren't to much Win 8 oriented ....
 
here's one testng session pics back then , i test every system i can , i love it , it's fun for me and higly highliting and i know what are CERTIFIED well integrated and optimised system !!! i know what a system for audio loooks like and must be ...
 

 
" this day , was testing Alineware , HP 8540W , HP envy , MSI laptops"
 
This day  testing 2 HP 8560w with 2 screens (AUO vs LG) 
 

 
This day messing around with a brand new MBP 17 versus a new HP 8560W (to keep the winner)
 

 

 
(oops MBP 17 screen ligting not that regular ....)
 
 
I love comptuting , it's a part of my life so PLEASE .... give a little credit when i tell some guyz ...my system should be ok ...
 
 
Oh by the way check what Jmimmy is using ...same crap as i do ...

I always loved this forum from day one because i have met (CJ is one of those) passionate and EDUCATED people knowing what they're talking about ....and i have been like CJ one member of the "check your system " police ... reporting bugs , putting positive pressure to a brand that we love , support and want to see getting more mature , is a must for me , healthy ....this is what i do here ...and this why they keep providing great updates .....we just have to not realease the pressure , and at the same time saying what i already said "X3 absolutly rocks !!! features wise"  but work must be done ...
 
I try to stay super active for me and my people (students and users) , i'm already testing VS 700 pland B (Nucleus , Avid ) , i also look for dev in case we get the open source , i also lobbyed some famous brand to consider the PC when it was created ...Ect ....
 
All this not to expose what i do (hate that) but for those seeing me like a troll or some : PLEASE  go make some music ....
i have been treated since few post like a "traitor" or some just because i said what i think : X3 would have not passed beta testing in my book .....or at least some obvious bug should have been super "EASY " to spot and maybe corrected .....this bothers me a lot more than the actual state of the software that i'm pretty sure gonna progress in good wayz as almost everytime !
 
 
Thks 

 
 

 
In fact this is the first time id didn't fallow my gold rule "never upgrade before it's fully updated" ......i guess i RE discovered why ....Things never change it seems .....

X3 is a solid release for being a major rewrite. 

Are you sure about this ?  I would have thought a major rewrite would have fixed things that've been around for a while, like the metronome/loop bug.

Ok here's simple facts :
 
Day one : install of X3 
 first contact : yes beautyfull 
 
Insert of maschine multi outs : woah super slow !!!
ok i check my audio setting : no asio infos (FIRST CONFIRMED BUG)
no big deal i keep creating a tracks  i insert Alchemy , play some , play with solo : (SECOND CONFIRMED BUG)
ok let's try new plugins , oups my plugins layout , let's choose all plugins , done ...mmm great new plugins , let's go back to my layout : no way (THIRD CONFIRMED BUG) 
 
i stop here (i could go on) ....so my question is simple : DO YOU guyz really think those are UNSPOTABLE BUGS !!! just a simple regular workflow would have been able to notice that after less than 5 min !!!
 
 
Those are bugs and confirmed , NO MATTER the SYSTEM .......THOSE ARE BUGS on my systems and others system ....isn't that clear !!!!
 
To answer Steven : no bug reports since it have been confirmed and so escaladated !!
 
Beta team ? i have been ask to be part , i sent the agreement , never had a reply;....no big deal .....but as i'm incompetent and have ****ty systems   i don't see why ....i would be no help for them ...(if i read you guyz well) ...
 
I'm out , have fun , and we will say wassup when the bug list will be launched , and i will then love to hear from you guyz your conclusions about  how X3 final candidate (actually B) was so solid 
 
No matter what i say , you guyz knows it better , so track of day is :
