Sonar X3 and Sonar 6 crashing on one song at 96%

Hi!
I'm having the above issue just as I finished my track! Typical! It starts to load (in either prog vers) and gets to 96% every time and just crashes out. (Reports are below) The latest things I did to the track was use v-vocal on a few recordings (but bounced the clips as far as I remember) and I used Limiter 6 plug-in to try a bit of mastering out. Sonar X3 rendered the track nicely but I wanted to tweak a few things today and now have this on-going issue. I tried safe mode on both progs, excluded all plugs but...still the same. Tried excluding most plugs but still the same. I checked event viewer and it shows the info below and along with the Sonar.exe crash warning I get a DeltaII (s/card) warning also although they are a few minutes apart. I can load my other tracks fine! and I'm almost positive I have used v-vocal and limiter 6 fine before with no probs. One other thing I did was I moved my track location from a folder on desktop to inside another folder last week. When I went to open the song after doing this Sonar obviously said it couldn't find it so I manually opened it via Sonar open file at start menu and directed it to the new location which opened fine and loaded fine a few times since then (I have tried reversing this process but no joy) I also installed sound-forge 9 and fruity loops 10 recently. Last night I rendered a wav and slipped it in sforge to boost vol and convert to mp3. I plugged my Sony Experian phone in and copied the mp3 over. Turned off PC and tried to open the song today and felt my guts sink!!! grrr!!! p.s. I use a mix of vsts/plugs and jbridge. All seemed to work fine. All other songs are totally fine to open and use.

Any help, ideas, salvation! would be greatly appreciated :)

DeltaII
The description for Event ID 54 from source DELTAII cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

Hey Jimbo, I tried what you suggested and one by one they didn't make a difference :/ I even deleted all the recordings from yesterday but no joy. Exact same crash. Wondering if the song file is corrupt. I will do a disk and file check now as suggested by Bitman. Absolutely gutted if this doesn't recover. I have an older version of the song but I did a lot of work yesterday to complete it...sigh! Curious as to whether V-Vocal has caused this.

Ouch, my bad, I missed that detail. I am not sure if you can save one if the project won't load.
 
If it is V-Vocal in the project file, and option would be to copy the project to a new directory, but NOT copy over the last wav files you edited. SONAR will then tell you you have missing audio, but do not find them... If SONAR doesn't load a wav to process against, the V-Vocal data might strip off, then you can save the project with a new name and import to original wav file (if that works).
 
Edit: Moved to the post below.

Nah! didn't work :/ damn it! I have a feeling it is a corrupt song file..

Actually on second thoughts, just using Sonar's plugin manager to disable plugins might be easier than renaming directories.
 
It'll be much easier to add them back in as well.

Hi
Not sure if this would work, but maybe worth a try:-
 
Copy the project folder and paste it back with a new name e.g. "safe-backup" (this will prevent any accidental harm happening to your original)
Create a new project (with a new name) eg "myamazingsongrecovery.cpl"
Import the audio tracks one at a time (from the copy you just made eg "safe-backup") and test by playing to the end before importing the next audio track, hopefuly everything will work, if not, you may be able to identify a bad audio file if there is one.

Have you tried turning off 64-bit double precision?

Thanks...Just tried it but still no joy :/

I tried this on another system but exactly the same problem. Any other ideas out there?

it's almost certainly vvocal, which cannot be disabled via safe mode unfortunately

I have a similar feeling although I have used it in other projects with no major issues (maybe one or two crashes). I made a new project earlier and imported a few of the wavs from the corrupt project. I used v-vocal and bounced. Put Limiter 6 on also and it all worked fine o.O

Why would v-vocal be such an arse to my finished track yet not my unfinished ones!? I just don't get it...

I saw in other threads a similar issue where a guy could actually open the corrupt cwp file but only when he had a few other songs open. So I tried it, it still didn't work but it threw up different info including an error with 
PCS-CakeSM.dll.

is that (PCS-CakeSM.dll) to do with pro-channel? do pc plugs get disabled on safe mode? could try renaming the dll maybe?

When doing a search for PCS-CakeSM.dll  windows doesn't even find it! Oh what a headache! :-o Not sure if pc plugs get disabled on sf mode...
