Server Busy Error

Over the last week I have been seeing a error popping up in Sonar when I try and open a soft synth.
It's not happening every time and not always with the same Soft Synth.

Server Busy, the other program is busy, choose Switch To to correct this problem

After I see this it will sometimes start working again and other times I have to close sonar by going to task manager where I see sonar not responding
If I have to close sonar it wont load again without rebooting windows.

Can anyone tell me why this might be happening ?

I have not installed any programs or changed any hardware recently

Thanks to all

Norrie,


You don't have to reboot Windows if this happens....the reason that X1 won't load again is usually
because, despite the fact that you've closed the program, it is still "hanging" in memory...


If you hit "Ctrl" "Alt" "Del" and bring up the task manager and click the "processes" tab, you will scroll down
and see "SonarPro.exe" still under the processes list...if you click that and hit "end process" this will remove Sonar from memory and allow you to reload the program...

Just an alternative to having to "Shut Down" to clear the memory..

Thanks for the Reply's Guys. @ Bristol - I have only seen it happen with 64 bit plugs I don't really use any 32bit or at least at the moment

@ cclary - Thanks I will remember to do that it takes under a minute to re boot my computer so ts not a lot of waiting just frustrating when this happens.

I should also have said that I have seen this happen twice now on a black project from start up.

It's a bit of a strange one and I will go log a Ticket about it.

@Bristol Thats exactly what I thought but I don't know how to narrow it down. I have nothing loaded so I really don't know why.

Hi Konrad thanks anything is worth a try but I have also seen this happen on 2 blank project

That's exactly what I will do I remember doing that when I first put this rig together.

I will report back with anything I find and let you know when I head back from Cake.

I am putting a SSD in the computer in the next couple of weeks so I don't know weather to try and fix this now or wait as I will have to go through everything once I put the drive in.

Even if you only installed the 64 bit version of X1 there are a number of "built in" vst/i that are still 32 bit. Thus the error could still be bitbridge. Open the windows task manager once the project is loaded in sonar and look for bit bridge.exe in the list. If it is then you have a 32 bit vst/i running if not then you should be 100% 64bit. @konradh the server setting you referred to are the bitbridge server settings under preferences>file>vst settings.
