Morning all.
 
I'm sure I saw something about this, but when I search, I get a message saying, search is not working right now, or something like that, and I couldn't find anything in google search.
 
Just now, I'm working on a project. I've comp'd my bass takes, flattened my comp, cloned the track without events so that I have a copy of all effects used, copied and pasted over my flattened track, bounced it, and started work on timing with the drums. This has been my work practice for some time now, and I've never had any issue until now. I'm on the 07 update as I wait until everyone else has had a look at the early release, only loading up the update when it's official.
 
But now, as soon as I load up a region effect with Meloydne to work on timing, the transport controls completely stop.  (It also did it while I was comping, but I just thought something had glitched, so not entirely sure what I did). But this is every time, so I cannot continue working. The only the way to get transport control back is to shutdown and re-open the project, but as soon as I start to do anything with the track, transport control stops again. Mouse still works, keyboard works for everything else, but keyboard control or mouse control for transport does nothing. Just, no transport control whatsoever.
 
Does anyone know what this may be, or how to get around it. I'm trying to work, can't, and it's embarrassing to say the least. Anyone have any idea ?
 
thanks Dave.
 

OK. Rookie mistake. I just turned off all plugins and the problem goes away, so it's something new that I've started using. Two new Wave plugs, so I'll check them out later and see what the problem is. At least I can continue to work right now. But if anyone has an idea why the transport would stop, I'd love to know. Cheers. Dave.

So I'm done with editing the bass track and it's back to the mix, except I have no slider control now for any track or bus. mute/solo work, but not gain or volume. I have no volume control for anything. Turning effects on/off on single tracks is having bizarre effects, like adding 20db gain, increasing send to reverb etc. If I  can't control my mix to date, I can't track the next parts. I've shutdown a number of times, gone back to earlier saves, removed all unknown plugins, but nothing is working. The whole project has gone to the dogs and I'm at a loss to explain any of it, and have the guitarist waiting for his part. Think I'm going to have to send everyone home until I get this sorted.
 
Has anyone got any idea what may be happening? I've never encountered anything like this before.

what kind of control surface are you using ? I don't see it in your sig or I don't think you mentioned it.

I've narrowed down, and deleted the PX-64 percussion strip that I had on the master drum buss, and things have returned to normal. I don't use this a lot, but I've never had an issue with it before now. The other odd thing is the buffer size in mix control for my scarlett had changed to it's lowest setting. I never change it, leaving it at 10ms midrange because I don't ever monitor the input. Don't know what is going on right now, but at least I can keep going and hopefully get all the tracking done, then look at everything else tonight.
 
If anyone has an ideas for me to look at, it would be greatly appreciated. I will check back in tonight my time.
 
cheers. dave.
 
 

Hey Chuck. I don't use any. Pretty basic setup for me. I just move my wireless keyboard around mostly, or stay at my console.

my apology's. I thought you were talking about you lost your transport button on your control surface.
I figured the least I could do is bump this guys thread

I have had occasions where the transport starts responding very sluggishly. Sometimes it has gotten so bad that when I hit the spacebar to start or stop playback I thought that it didn't work because it takes several seconds to respond. I don't know what causes this and usually a restart of Sonar helps but not always.
 
I have always been able to control the transport with the mouse however so my experience does not completely mirror your description.

No problems Chuck. Thanks. I gave up and went out gigging instead. Back working on it again now. Don't know what the problem is, but today I hope to get to the bottom of it. So going to check CPU/RAM, disks etc. Seems to be system related, and as I've changed nothing, maybe something has gone wrong. Last month I had an issue where Win10 decided to start doing file history back up's. I had no idea until my 2tb backup disc had an issue, and I realised it was full, where it should have been around 250gb. Your right, crazy things happen. Hope I can find it. cheers. Dave.

Check the batteries in your wireless keyboard and make sure you aren't moving it out of range.
