MP3 Import Problem (Out Of Memory Error) SOLVED!
I had this as part of the CPU utilization thread but I figured I'd post a new message to keep that one true to the CPU meter problems.
Turns out, it's the tagging from Foobar 2000 that Sonar does not like for some reason.
1. Record in Reaper
2. Render to mp3 in Reaper, either CBR or VBR.
3. Import to Sonar 8.5 either via menu or drag and drop, works fine.
4. Tag in Foobar 2000, artist, composer etc. Save file.
5. Try to open in Sonar either drag and drop or via menu and bang "Out Of Memory" error instantly.
So, Foobar 2000 is doing something weird with the tagging that Sonar doesn't like but other DAW software seems to ignore. Not sure what, but it's repeatable every single time.
Just thought I would share in case some other poor soul has the same or similar problem.
