Since the August update, many projects will not load.
 
I have a feeling it's when there are missing plugins. Sonar freezes after the "Missing Plugins" screen appears.
 
Interestingly - I have a FaderPort attached, and it goes nuts at the same time. The fader moves up and down very quickly  about an inch, and the mute and solo buttons are flashing.




Hi PilotGav,
 
 I've PM'd you for more info.
 
Thanks,
Jim

OMG! The CPU usage has dropped drastically! Now the cores are balanced. Amazing!!


I noticed that as well.  Great stuff!

I like the lanes and comping improvements a lot !

I spend some time last night comping a vox track.  The new tools work well.  The clip fades improvement is very much appreciated.  With the fixes over the last several patches, I can comp much quicker. 
 
Thanks Cake!


Yeah, I think this is a really good update for comping.

Every project I open now shows as 16 bit rather than 24 in the control bar... I'm sure the other features are nice, but would like to know if this issue is real or is just not updating, since I haven't recorded 16 bit since 1998...

The transport displays the Record Bit Depth setting from Preferences > File > Audio Data. It has been that way for years.

You're right, the default is 16 bit, but once you change it to 24 it seems to stay there. On my test recording it indeed was set to 16 bit (CD quality) , but I too would prefer to record at 24 bit. Thanks for bringing this up !!

Ha, thanks scook- I have never changed it, so apparently the default changed on its own, and now I'll check out all the other cool new features!

just updated for the first time in about 3 months, which was the first time i have updated since back around kingston or manchester (switched daw's sometime back) read the reports of performance improvements, took it with a grain of salt but thought i would update and see. seems quite significant improvement going buy the performance meter, and much more evened out across the cores, very impressive. will have a bit more of a look and play

Hi Foldaway,
 
 Sorry your previous Early Release post was not responded to.  I believe someone is in touch with you now regarding this and we may PM you for more info.
 
Sorry again,
Jim



My crash sitation has been resolved with the help of Dave.  There was some corruption to the .NET config files which was causing the problem.  Dave has said that he is now working on a fix to stop Sonar crashing in these circumstances.
