I am having very goofy issues too. Audio engine won't start for a hour, then it's fine for a while. Then it's not... then it is later! SHEESH!

brundlefly offered this but I'm not sure what to rename the ini and don't want to, until I understand what to do

Try renaming your AUD.INI file and letting SONAR build a new one on startup.
 
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR Platinum\AUD.INI

 
@ Jonesy   Check out my thread RE the Plug In Manager. Steve Cook really helped me there. I ended up with a lot more plug ins! LOL Really! I was very impressed with his way vs my old habit with it.

All you do is rename it aud.bac.

Thanks John. just that, eh? or do I add that to the whole name?

This is funny because I just paid for the free melda plugin bundle upgrade + got a new meter plug and my crashes coincided with that so a lot of false causation theories just went out the window. fwiw whenever it crashes on me, if I reboot and restart it seems to go okay. Although I haven't installed yet at my studio - just at home where I don't do much besides following along with tutorials etc. and a midi framework or two. Think I'll wait before I update the studio Plat...

Just replace ini with bac. Bac is short for backup. Its a way to save a copy of a file without moving it. This idea goes back all the way to DOS. 

Thanks for explaining that. I am not that much of a PC guy, though I have heard of DOS! LOL

I have those plugins from Melda and yes I had them updated and upgraded too. Those are very solid worry free plugins on my systems.

Typically Voodoo like this works for me all the time. Once I ate a banana side ways and Sonar started working again.

Nooooooo chuck! Everyone knows you NEVER do the eat banana sideways quickfix. Playing with fire friend. Mango. Always mango.

Interestingly, I had problems at first too. Things just didn't work. SONAR would crash upon opening, UI glitches, various weirdnesses. It was late, so I went to sleep and figured I'd say something on the forums and write emails to Cakewalk with issues after I'd had a chance to quantify the issues a bit more.
 
So the next day I started SONAR and everything worked correctly, and has been working fine ever since. I can't help but wonder if some of these things are Windows update related. Sometimes it doesn't seem Windows updates don't "stick" until after a restart or two, and I wonder if SONAR comes along for the ride.

Well, that's probably it....... I imagined the Keebler Elves dealing with it while I slept the other night.... LOL
 
If you, Craig, have similar things happening (or not! ), then I don't feel bad at all......   I think I'm doing something wrong... so obviously that's not true.
