Hi-
 
I have a project file with only an instance of Trilian (one MIDI, one Audio track with an additional MIDI track for keyswitches.)  There are only a few MIDI measures in it.  I have a loop selection set. I press W once and the transport rewinds to the beginning. I press W again and it goes to the start of the loop and crashes (SONARPLT.EXE has stopped working...) 
 
I opened the same project in safe mode, bypassing Trilian and the same thing happened.
 
This was just a tiny test project with nothing worth saving.  I've reproduced it several times and I've sent a problem report to Cakewalk.
 
I haven't seen anything like this before and I can't think why it would happen.  Does it sound like the file's corrupted?
 
Thanks-

Update your audio interface and firmware and run windows update several times inc optional updates... Do a VST reset and rescan. Assume you are already on braintree. Then report back... Cheers..

Thanks, Alex. Audio firmware is current and I'm on Braintree, as indicated in my signature. I've done a VST reset and rescan. I don't automatically install all of the Windows updates, but do you think that could be the cause of the behavior I described?
 
Anyone else?

Is this reproducible starting from a brand new Splat project?

I can't read the signature on my cellphone sorry.

Yes windows update could fix this issue so no harm in doing it (it's recommended anyway). Software developers generally develop and test on the latest windows versions. Always backup. Cheers..

That's how "W" has worked for me as far back as I can remember. Is that not the intended behavior when a loop selection is set?

I don't think the crashing part is intended...

If you create a project and suspect it to be corrupt. Close Sonar. Reboot your system. Start Sonar and create another one exactly the same and see what happens. It could be the project, the plugins, the interface or a combination.
 
If it still crashes, try a different interface if possible.
 
Do this before updating, upgrading, restoring, reinstalling, etc. IOW, start with the simple stuff and work your way up.

Ahem... somehow I missed that little detail the first time I read it. No, I wouldn't suppose the crashing part is intended.

Hi-
 
I'm just going to assume the project was corrupted somehow and move on. It was just a tiny throwaway I used to create a track template and try out a couple things.  I've never had a "bad" SONAR project before, I don't think, and since it crashed pretty much immediately even in Safe mode, there wasn't much in the way of testing to do. When I created a new similar project (the same except for the MIDI clips) it was fine.
 
I'm still trying to pin down some problems I'm seeing when deleting and inserting track templates, one of which I reported and has been confirmed.
 
I did update Windows, and thanks for the other suggestions.
