Best of luck Andy!

Thank you Mr Jones 
 
I've just had a weird one actually:-
 
My current test project has three VSTi instances.
 
The first two VSTi are being driven by the step sequencer. The third VSTi has no MIDI yet.
 
When I selected the third VSTi MIDI track, while the project was playing, it started to play notes that were on one of the other step sequencer parts.
 
Had me stumped for a bit. and I went to Prefs and unchecked "Always Echo Current MIDI Track," which stopped the problem, but now I'd have to manually select the echo input button.
 
So I checked the "Always Echo Current MIDI Track" option again and now there are no notes being played in the third VSTi.
 
I'm obviously missing something here... Didn't have this in X2, so something must have been "enhanced" and I can't see what...
 
 
Onwards and upwards 

A suggestion on the location of the download paths in Command Center Settings.
 
If you downloaded everything to the default location on the C: prior to knowing that you could specify a different drive for the download folder, I would suggest that you copy the original folder and all of the downloaded files to wherever you want to instead have it go, and than alter the settings in Command Center to point to the new location.
 
The reason is that, to the best of my awareness, Command Center relies on seeing that it already has the download installer files, or it can go through the download process again, unnecessarily. 
 
Please, anyone, provide correcting info on the above if I got it wrong.

Done that Bob, thanks 
 
So I've freed up six gigs on my system drive.
 
Had three crashes this morning, trying to change parameters in a VSTi while the project was playing.

I have done this the way Bob suggested.
Have not had any problems at all with CCC, or SONAR crashes. Worked like a charm for me.
 

Crashes could be down to the VST's Ken... I can't replicate it... It's kind of random.
 
And it's a hang, so the problem reporter doesn't pop up.

I would try to eliminate the culprit, by bypassing all the effects (E), and turning them on one by one until you get any issue (like before). Try removing that plugin, save, and re open project. Does it play nicely, or is it the same?
Best of luck.

Hi Ken,
 
It's not effects. It's my VSTi's, and it has only happened when I've been tweaking stuff inside the VSTi properties window. The effects appear to be working okay at the moment...
 
cheers

I do not know what types of VSTi you are using, but I would then try to solo and tweak every VSTi, to find out which one is causing the most problems. Then check if there is something anyone else experiences.
It could be that someone else has the answer, if it is down to a specific synth. Hope I am not just leading you astray.
Best of luck.

Okay, I now have the following in my current SPlat test project:-
 
Absynth 5
Novation Bass Station
Chromaphone
Dim Pro
Battery 3
BFDEco
Drumaxx
Session Drummer
SI Drum Kit
FabFilter One
FabFilter Twin
Hive
Lounge Lizard EP3
Korg M1
Korg MonoPoly
Korg MS-20
Podolski
Korg Polysix
Rapture (not pro)
sfz
SI Bass Guitar
SI Electric Piano
SI String Selection
String Studio VS-2
Strum GS-2
TruePianos (Cakewalk)
Ultra Analog VA-2
Korg Wavestation
Z3TA+ 2
Zebralette
 
So that's thirty VSTi all playing a little ditty, with percussion duties shared across the various drum synths.
 
There are also 31 instances of Pro-Q 2, one Pro-L, one Breverb 2 and one Timeless 2.
 
All appears to be playing okay, with nothing frozen, and the CPU meter hovering at around 60~70%
 
No automation used yet...

Looks good Andy!
