Sonar 8 Crashes When Ever I use The Sonitus - EQ

What happens if you try to use the built in track eq (which is also sonitus) instead of putting it in the FX bin?

Hi,

It would be helpful to know more about your OS, system, audio interface, MIDI interface, etc.


As for having to reboot: Generally, the Sonar.exe process stays running after crashes because of a driver. Since the programmers either at Cakewalk (or maybe those who made the driver for one of your interfaces) have not heard of error timeouts and did not bother to include them in their software, Sonar and the hung driver cannot complete the normal program close after a crash, and so the result is a stuck process you cannot end that will run forever. Try turning off your MIDI interface or audio interface and see if the Sonar process closes.

D.

This also happen to me now and than; that is the raison why I constatly saved my project while I am working, for once the screen freezes, the only solution I have left is to rebboot the computer.

The Sonitus EQ is *built in* to Sonar Producer version. You shouldn't be dropping it in again.
It's already there on every track.

Yes, I know for a fact this did not occur in Sonar 7.02 and may be a recent development in 8.02. When you drop the EQ into the effects bin, if there is already another plugin there, it locks up Sonar. It is repeatable as well. If I reboot Sonar, drop the EQ into the same track it locks everytime during playback. The work around is to stop playback, insert, the restart the playback.

The DLL may be corrupt.

First, re-register it and see if that solves the problem. Go to the Run dialog (Start -> Run) and type in the following:

REGSVR32 /U "c:\program files\cakewalk\shared plugins\sonitusfxEqualizer.dll"

Click OK, then run the same command again but without the "/U" argument.

Do not have SONAR up and running when you do this. After re-registering the file, start up SONAR and see if the problem is still there.

If the problem persists, rename the SonitusFXEqualizer.dll file to something else (e.g. SonitusFXEqualizer.BAD) and re-install SONAR.

Wow you guys are quick.. lol I tried the registering argument, but havn't tried sonar let Ill reply back soon as I see if its helped.

i was wondering though, a few of you guys said you can use the eq without inserting it into the fx bin? I tried doing that, but couldn't seem to locate how to go about doing it..

me no chinese me no find hahaha..

I really appreciate all your guys help.. helps take some of the mi-- out of mi-graine

...a few of you guys said you can use the eq without inserting it into the fx bin? I tried doing that, but couldn't seem to locate how to go about doing it..

In the Track Inspector, click on the EQ Enable button (or alternatively right-click on the EQ Plot and select Enable), then double-click on the EQ Plot. If these items are not visible, you will need to go into the Display menu (at the bottom of the Track Inspector) and tick them.

Aww man you are awsome, I've been fiddling with this stupid dilly doodle whacker for like a month now, and didnt even know that was there.. It was disabled the entire time.. well out of view.. so that makes sence as to why it would crash, if there's 2 running..

Man thiese forums rule.. haha.. appreciate it guys.

ok well i got more info now, not sure if it will help much, i tried reinstalling .. still does it... this is what i get.

Fatal error has occuered

as a result of this error SONAR is about ot exit abnormally. Should SONAR attempt to save a re covery copy of your owrk?

: yes : : no:

then crashes, amnd goes in **** mode and wont close... The eq is one of the most important tools in SONAR and I cant get the damn thing to reduce out requiences without it going ape **** on me.. if anyone could help id greatly appreciate it.

You need to contact CW support, open a support ticket and tell them you have a crash dump. They will give you a link to upload the dump, which will allow them to tell you where the real problem is.

The dump file should be in documents and settings\your_user_name\application data\cakewalk\sonar 8 producer edition\minidumps. If there are more than one, the filenames are the date and time of the crash, so you'll be able to determine which one is relevant.

I get the same stuff with S7PE, except it's a Sonitus Delay and Reverb
I've been working on the same 4 minute song for almost a year now
New machine fresh OS; i'm tired of this

I have a brand new lap top though shoudl be fine.. Im seriously starting to think either vista 674 or sonar just flat out blows, i tried fidlding with raptiure today.. crashed the same as the eq... tried using other plug ins.. kept causing the same type of stupid crashes... I mean.. you spend $500 for a program.. that dosnt even work.. wheres the logic in that...

is it better to run sonar in windows xp professional..? cause Im seriously thinking about just putting that in this thing.. cause I have en entire cd thats pending a release date.. and I cant get anything done because the dangum program keeps crashing.. I mean seriously...

is xp better fo sonar than vista? this crpa is getting rediculous..

Nevermind.

Hi all

I've had this same problem where sonar crashes, usually giving me the "Do you want to try and save a recovery copy" message.  Then when I exit out, sonarpdr.exe is still running in the processes in task manager, which means it will not re-open.  Thats good to know that you can kill it by disconnecting your audio device, but the thing is, I'm using an E-MU 1212m, which is a PCI card.  I can turn off the Patchmix software, but that's really a separate program - it isn't the control panel for the card or anything.  Any thoughts?

BTW, what cornieleous said makes sense to me - should we ask Cakewalk to put an error timeout in there?  I'm not a programmer, so I don't know the logistics of trying to do this ...

I`m not sure if this is helpfull but I have experienced the same problem and easily solved it. My solution doesnt necceserally have to work in your case but here`s the deal. While having recorded a vocal track including several clips you will have to "bounce to clip" before using the fx options. If you dont you will load an eq for each clip and this will cause the program to go bananas and freeze ot at least cause a drop out. Bounce to clip first and then add fx :)

For some reason.. when ever I am working in Sonar 8 producer, it seems to be running fine, until I add the Fx - Sonitus - Equalizer in the fx pane. It says fatal error, and my program freezes and crashes.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? its driving me insane.. cause after it crashes, the program wont let itself be removed form my task manager, but won't let me reopen it either, so I end up hjaving to reboot just to be able to reopen it again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
