Working well here in all aspects.

The only item I'm experiencing as a difficulty is the synth rack not remembering its location.

PITA, but not a show stopper...

I'm used to Sonar Pro crashing often, but since upgrading to 2017.2 my computer freezes completely in the middle of editing.No logs in the event viewer. Really annoying.



Are you using ASIO4ALL for your drivers? If so, I'm not surprised that SONAR would crash often. Most "SONAR crashes all the time" issues trace back to out-of-date drivers or ASIO4ALL.


No, I'm using the driver that came with my Akai sound card. I'm starting to suspect the resent update to Rapture Session might be the reason.

This version stole my wallet, pee'd on my rug and ate my Lays potato chips.
But its running solid so I turn a blind eye to it

I've had weird graphical glitches. Open a project I created with the new update, no 3rd party plugins and only a couple of prochan modules on the master, tracks in track view briefly appear whilst project is loading then after loading the whole of track view is empty. I have to scroll the scroll bar to the right of track view to make them appear.
Also other glitches within the same project - mic audio was showing when track was armed but nothing recorded. Had to restart Sonar to sort this out.
 


I have the disappearing track issue too, but that started with 2017.01

Three crashes for me last night, the first night really using it since updating. I was in working in different areas (Melodyne, Audiosnap, etc..) each time so couldn't a common thread. Each time the audio driver would immediately lock up and audio would start skipping. Audio kept playing even after SONAR closed after crashing. Only way to get it to stop was to restart computer.
 
I should note the project was still in tracking mode so had no plugins in it other than a couple Melodyne Region FX.

Thumbs down from me for this release. In the process of trying to mix a 28 track project and Sonar crashed. I had only used one 3rd party plug-in and that had been removed prior to the crash. Also seeing weird stuff like modules missing from ProChannel with no option to add them.
 
I did send in the crash report, so hopefully that will help the bakers make improvements. Using WASAPI Exclusive FWIW.

I had small issues with each of the Early Access release but 02 is now fine.

After installing 02, the first start and load of default project seems to have taken ages (no hidden dialog awaiting action). After that I did a hard reset and all is working OK again.

I do think that 2017/01 was snappier than 2017/02 but that could be a perceptual error because each of the early access versions had probs.

Restarting SONAR would not have changed that because its expected behavior. When you arm an audio track, the meter becomes an input level meter and will show the signal level from the assigned source.
