Official Release 2017.02 - What's your experience been?

There seemed to be a few "missteps" with the 2017.2 release.  From what I've read those issues appear to have been cleared up?
 
Before I update I wanted to take the Official Release 2017.2 pulse here first?  What's your experience been with the new Official release update?

I installed the 2017.02 update last night and while doing some comping of audio tracks I noticed that the Smart Tool is intermittently not working.  I got multiple highlighted, (and sounding), clips at the same time.  I also could not get clips to highlight.  So far, clicking around randomly seems to fix it.  I'm going to roll back and see if there is a difference.
 
I'm also now getting that "clip transient" issue on close that I have not seen since last year.

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.

I started a new project this morning in the latest SPLAT update and could not import audio into the audio track. after multiple attempts, I thought that it might be due to the update. So, I rolled back to the January update and was able to import the file into a new project track. Has anyone else had this problem?

Well I have not had issues with importing waves or mp3 files. No problems recording/mixing or using plugins.
I'm not have any real problems and I did install in mid project.
BUT there is a spike on cpu/core 1 and it is 90% higher then all other cpu cores.
This could be a problem for many things that appear to be unrelated.
Peace!

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.

Being used to Sonar crashing all the time is not a normal condition. Why don't you open a new thread highlight your issues along with a brief rundown of your system specs and get some help.

Although those without issues come here much less frequently. I must say I have no problems with it although I haven't done much since the upgrade.

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.

Only issue noted here is the drum map gets de-selected the first time a project is opened in this release. The drum map is still available, but a new entry [drum map++] is added and enabled. Not a new drum map, just a number. 
 
Easy enough to re-select once it gets sussed out and seems to stick once re-selected. but has happened in every single project so far (~15).

So far I have had no issues with stability. However, Platinum is so extensive that it will take some time and projects to fully confirm.
 
I upgraded from Producer X1 / Windows Vista to a new computer around a year and a half ago. I got a new installation of Windows 10 and Platinum and this has been a huge improvement for me. My experience is that Cakewalk have accomplished a super job on this. Hopefully they will continue to improve it too.

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...

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.

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.

mic audio was showing when track was armed but nothing recorded. Had to restart Sonar to sort this out.



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.
