Hi folks , just asking for your honest opinions . I'm currently using platinum and had just upgraded to window 10 . Lately especially i do have thoughts of switching to another DAW as i can be quite frustrated with this platinum . I have encountered error pop up or audio drop out . i have always encountered my platinum shutting down whenever i'm using it and More so when i upgraded to window 10 . Also i bought the rapture pro ( vst 3) and it will always take a while to load or change new sounds . SO right now i'm hesitant to buy the lifetime upgrades .
 
How is your experience with platinum ? Do you guys encountered the problems i mentioned ?
 
Thanks for sharing 
 
Bests regards Jo

I was using a Alien ware m18x r1 2960xm , dual 6990m GPU, 32 gb hyper x , rme babyface , and SPLAT HATED IT for a year and a half , problem after problem with drivers versus SPLAT , SPLAT always victorious, drop outs gallore and daily aswell as mini dumps .
 
I swapped to my desktop , 980x rampage iii extreme , dual 450gts GPU, 24 GB , and The whole experience changed SPLAT loves it , it works flawlessly . Like i wanna cry it runs so perfectly . i now use my alien ware as a slave PC via a crossover cable and every day is a pleasure . Yes sonar has some bugs and what not but the main problems will always be the system your using , i.e. drivers ,hardware .
 
This is just my experience others may differ .

Sonar Platinum is running rock solid for me.

Runs very well here too... Lots of hours. My only crash scenario is when I change to/from a song containing some unruly 32bit vst...


Live recordings (8 hours/7 bands type situations) as well as many, many hours of studio work..

I don't get crashes, dropouts or lockups no matter what I do in Platinum.
 
It would help if you could add your entire system spec to your signature, especially details of your interface & drivers

Hey mate
You will probably get everyone on the forum helping you get up and running quickly if you can post your computer specs, soundcard, amount of ram etc. This is a great forum with lots of Sonar knowledge and friendly people.

Hello,
sorry to hear about your probs with Splat.
Splat is running like"butter"on my systems .
 
Without knowing any system specs of your system it´s 
impossible to help you  in that situation.
Did you try a clean installation of Win 10 ?
 
All the best

Platinum seems very solid on Windows 10

The only issues I have had are; Crashes using Drumcore 4, much improved since the last Drumcore update and occasional audio engine dropouts using Softube Modular when there are a lot of modules in use.

I don't think the fault for either of these issues can be attributed to Sonar.
