When Sonar crashes, have a look at the details of the crash message by Windows. It lists several cryptic data like memory addresses, but also the module responsible for the crash. This module is either "SONARPLT.EXE", or the DLL name of the VST plugin that causes crashes.
I have rarely crashes when closing projects (with or without closing Sonar) for projects that use AmpliTube. On other systems, this problem may occur more often.
