I filled out a problem report on this issue too. I even included a video of this problem happening AND a link to a project file that could reproduce it for me. This was the canned response:


"The status of your problem report has updated to "Contact Tech Support" with the following notes:
The problem you are experiencing is most likely a system specific problem or a configuration issue that we believe can be resolved with assistance from Cakewalk Technical Support. Unfortunately, as explained in the Problem Report Form, this form does not put you in direct contact with our support staff."

I'm experiencing the same issue on X3d: full lag when moving around the mouse cursor, but playback continues fine.
- ATI Radeon 920 gfx.
- Intel Q9550 core 2 quad.
 
Observations while working in a new project (only 2 audio tracks, no midi tracks or soft synths, no plugins, aim assist off):
- Happens only when hoovering the mouse in the clip pane of the track view.
- One of the cpu cores spikes to 100% when moving around.
- More than 10 take lanes opened. When closing the take lanes, the problem is gone!
- Lag is most heavy when 'smart' or 'edit' tool is selected. With 'select', 'move' or 'erase' tool the lag is obvious less, and with the 'draw' tool no lag at all. (thus differences between the various tools observed)

X3E just around the corner, if people can let us know if it resolves their issues then that would be great.

It is indeed fixed, at least on my DAW

Thanks Neirbod, there were lots of people here who could reproduce this issue in different ways, would be great to have some feedback from them with X3E.

Fixed here too with the X3e update! Performance has definitely improved.

Hi guys... thought i resurrect this tread... ok. i just got on X3E... will update my signatures in a little while...
 
again this was stumbled upon; this time by hitting on the "A" shortcut key - this brings up the Audio Snap Palette.
 
The curious ON/OFF button is in question...
  1. i decided to toggle this button ON for all my audio tracks; doing them one at a time - playback perfect.
  2. all tempo changes are played correctly and screen refresh and playhead silky smooth.
  3. using the same from the above ON - i toggled OFF - same result perfect!!! again toggling from now ON to OFF - same result perfect!!!
ok. next i restarted this project, copied and pasted all the audio tracks with tempo changes etc... into a new project. - after that restated Sonar and loaded this new project...
 
  1. the playback was jittery - ok (expected)
  2. opening up the Audio Snap Palette and did the above steps - again same results... perfect playback and display!!
may i make the conclusion that it doesnt matter if the Audio Snap Palette feature is ON or OFF? just by toggling, it will somehow work around this issue?
 
another further experiment is i noticed that if i use the PEN TOOL to draw in TEMPO curves, the wave display either shortens or expands correspondingly.
 
this above track used is the same one used in #31 and #45 of this tread.
 
thanks all... cheers!!!

@Keyz. Are you saying somehow that the steps in #46 is reproducible in X3E with audio snap off (but not on)?

Thanks.
