Thanks for the replies,ive tried opening a new project empty template no instruments no audio no effects and with one instance of the pck4 compressor Prochannel module i get the same laggy results.Thanks for the input tho guys,ive tried all the usual suspects even empty projects with nothing re installs disabling audio drivers midi drivers,unpluging all usb plugged in tried switching to asio4all driver old and new updates of it.none of it makes any difference thats why im asking on these forums now im at my wits end trying to find a solution,and no matter what else i do i only get this problem with prochannel modules,and its most noticeable with the pck4 s-type channel compressor...i dont know what to do now because the studio edition looks like a waste,for me atleast...

The strangest part is i have 3 VKFX Prochannel modules,they also come as vst versions they also give me the same problem tho not quite as noticeable but the kicker is loading there vst version = no problem.i can literally load asmany vsts as i like even the most troublesome vsts that add crazy latency like melda and fabfilter plugins no problem i can even load buggy user made reaktor 5 ensembles both effects and instruments asmany times as i like and i still dont get the result as i get with using the prochannel modules,its totally crazy.and i get so angry watching the tutorials on prochannel and how people will have many instances of the same modules with no problems but i can barely use one.
    again im not trying to bash,i really just want a solution so i can use my PC modules in my productions.

contact cakewalk technical support
 
Edit: I see Craig beat me to it.
Calling support is the best bet. This is a unique situation which will probably take some Q&A about the system to sort out.

Ok i've tried to get ahold of customer support but i haven't got any response yet,now i tried to add pcak PC compressor to just my main output for a little compression on my over all track and just adding it sonar immediately freezes and has to be forced shut down.nomatter were ive looked i cant find any information to resolve this.is there any more direct way to get ahold of customer support?its really frustrating not being able to use somthing i purchased,especially when no other program dose this to me,not even multiple reaktor's running razor and other glitchy ensembles...like i cant even use one instance of a prochannel module in a track thats pretty much only audio files,from what ive read and herd there's supposed to be little to no cpu usages with any prochannel module,and people told me i shouldn't be having this problem.so if anyone knows how or were i can get some help with this to get it working as it should id greatly appretiate it.
~Regards~
 
 
EDIT: correction any prochannel module apparently freezes sonar with a project that's all audio and only using the built in eq's...
I think im just gana ask for my money back because the studio edition isn't doing what i purchased it for,and theres nothing im using sonar for that regular x3 cant do.cakewalk can just unregister my studio edition and melodyne license and ill just use the regular until i find another daw with similar workflow.This sucks because i really like sonar,ive been so pumped about it from videos and using x3 i wanted the producer edition.guess ill keep trying to find an answer first,ill give it a couple more days

No other suggestions huh?ugh worst money i've spent on any software.i cant even post a video here to show whats happening,i get better customer service from native instruments....the users here are awesome and knowledgeable but no matter how i ask google or howmuch i explain it here i cant get x3e to work.i really don't understand how anyone can make music with it in this condition,ive changed every setting in my graphics ive restored it to default ive enabled and disabled every driver un installed and re installed my entire computer only short of reinstalling windows every setting that can be adjusted within sonar,windows,my graphics card and audio interface ive tried it all just for the sake of getting SONAR X3E working,i cant seem to get any ideas except on these forums i don't understand why I ONLY seem to be having this problem!i own

Not one of these comes close to the problem im having with sonar currently.With the price of sonar id expect it to atleast do as advertised,im not even worried about the advanced techniques rightnow just the basics routing,audio editing,EQing,Compression levels and panning,and these are the things that im having trouble with.
 
Can any of the forum hosts get me in contact with support?ive been asking about these things since shortly after i upgraded to studio and ive tried to disregard it and find workarounds to use this program Only as its advertised.nothing more
