  • Major issue with AD 2 and CAL split note to tracks... (p.2)

Let me emphasise that the CAL program works and splits the notes, it's when the PLAY button is pressed it crashes...fwiw I have never had an issue with split note cal before either

okay just as an experiment I started a new project and just recorded straight piano (just midi data). Just a couple of bars...ran SNTC and again it split the notes correctly but Sonar crashed on play.

Unfortunately, "crashes" does not mean much to me. SONAR or Windows usually issues some type of message or dialog when something unexpected happens. If SONAR is creating a dump, send it to Cakewalk Support. If Windows is writing to the Event Log, there might be something useful there. Rarely does SONAR simply disappear from the desktop without providing some data somewhere.
 
This is where I guess the requisite request for configuration information is made. But before that, I would just suggest rebooting the PC.

well it is the standard windows message the program has caused blah de blah....anyway In think a fault report has gone to CW, for whatever good that will do.
 
And really the configuration will have nothing to do with it. If everything else runs as expected then it is hardly going to be the configuration ne'est-ce pas?

I'm a SNTT prostitute......but don't do it much anymore. I have a new way of doing things where I don't need control over the midi drum stuff like I used to. Let me try a few things and get back to you. 😊

Hey joden, sorry to get back to you so late...been swamped with stuff.
 
My method is probably not the same as I didn't use any midi loops. I played real drums on my V-Drums kit, and then used the SNTT CAL. No problems and no crashes after.
 
I don't use SIT ever because I've had inconsistency issues using that method. I believe the bakers have since fixed the issues I had, but I still stick to the legacy method....one midi track and one dedicated audio track for my VSTi. I'm using AD2 using Fairfax Volume one "Neutral" preset. I'm wondering if it may be how Sonar is handling the loops you are dropping in opposed to the midi on the fly that I am creating? I would say to try and report this to the bakers or try and call tech support. I have had great results with phone tech support.
 
For what it's worth, I'm running Sonar Plat x64 over here.
 
Also, I noticed in your first post...you say "split notes to track". In post 12 you said "SNTC" which is "Split notes to channel" right? I did "notes to track" not channel as I have no reason to do "channel" on my end. But I'm working perfectly without a crash on this end. SNTT gave me 16 individual midi tracks of drums on the project I am working on using AD2. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I hope someone can help you fix this issue.

oops yeah that's a typo...was always split note to track. I think you have maybe hit upon it Danny...you are actually recording in MIDI data...and when I tested with a piano track (in a new project) SNTT worked fine. So methinks it might actually be something to do with the pasting of midi clips as you suggested. Thing I did was bounce the clips ..so maybe that did something?? I might try it on a single midi loop (8 bars) prior to bouncing and see what happens.
 
Thanks much for trying to see if you could repeat it there and your other input!
 
Cheers

Joden, I've been seeing the crash on play after doing a split note to tracks for a couple years now. Cakewalk support couldn't duplicate it and it doesn't happen all the time. The only thing you can do is hit Ctrl+S a lot after running the script. Usually it crashes once and then settles down.

I have used SNTT on a regular basis and encountered this problem that is kinda similar. My process has been splitting and saving the project before hitting play. This way if it crashes I can re-open the project with the splits already there and it plays fine. This didn't seem to be a problem until about X3.
Sometimes the split goes well and the tracks play but I always place those tracks in a track folder and after moving them to the folder it will crash!
SO, I have gotten to where I split and save, create folder and move tracks to it and save, this way at least if I crash I can re-open the project at the last step I was at. A pain but it works.
I honestly do not remember for sure but I don't think I encountered this until X3.
