Er...Hmm.....Yeah...well I spoke too soon.
 
I had another lockup today after a very long Midi editing session.
 
This time Sonar just froze solid and couldn't be closed in the Task Manager. After rebooting it couldn't open my project, just the spinning icon and a black bar in the time area. After multiple efforts with the same result I was worried I might have lost the file and a couple of days work...opened the project in safe mode and just started over adding back an instrument at a time.
 
I am going to call again tomorrow...very discouraging.... 

Did you ever get a hold of Cakewalk again or find a setup that works better?

Hi guys,
 
seems, I´m not alone with this issue. If Sonar crashes, I have to restart, because it will stick in the taskmanager for about 10 minutes. I can´t end (or even kill) the process. After I waited for the process to end, I can start Sonar again, but it says that there is no audio interface connected -.-
 
I had this issue on my Windows7 computer and on my brand new Windows10-PC. I think it is a driver issue. These kind of crashes only happen when I use the Roland Studio Capture.
 
If I use Sonar on my Laptop (with a Native Instruments Komplete 6 Audio Interface), Sonar also crashes from time to time and the process remains in the task manager. As soon as I disconnect my AudioInterface, the process also disappears and I can start Sonar again. 

Yeah I'm sure it's partially or mostly driver related, but it seems to happen to a vast number of interfaces, not just a select few. So I think in part it's also how SONAR is utilizing these drivers. Has anyone here had problem with other DAWS not releasing drivers after crashes?
