The noise isn't loud...I would just like to know why it's making noise so often and besides I want to treat the cause not the symptom

Personaly I couldnt give you an honest answer on that

My personal exp on old gameing rigs years ago was that after a while they started to get more noisey I just put it down to being used all the time :S

Thats probably not the right answer though

Sorry

I am sure there is some one here who could tell you though every one on this thread is so help full its the best thread Ive seen on the whole forum :D

Thomas gave you a good advice.  Make sure you're running Sonar as the administrator.

I'm able to use both DropZone and Pentagon I (though the former has some GUI issues here).

There's no loss in quality from Sonar 64 to 32 bit, btw.

Running as admin did the trick. Hmmm... why?

Is there a way to disable the "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" pop-up so I don't have to confirm every single time I fire up Sonar?

Hey there yes there is this will sort you out :)

1. Head to Start
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select System and Security
4. Select Change User Account Control settings under Action Center header
5. Select the Continue button (if UAC is active)
6. Select the slider on the left and drag it down to "Never notify"
7. Select the Ok button to close the panel   
8. Close the window            

This Is also a very very very good tweek for lowering your latency level in windows :)

Hope this helps

Happy recording :D

The problem with that is it lowers my computer security for ALL programs (including potential viruses). Wish they had program-selective settings.

You could try right-clicking the Sonar icon (or any other application for that matter) and go to 'Properties'.  Select the 'Compatibility' tab and then put a check mark on "Always run this program as an administrator", or something to that effect.  Click "OK".  This should let you run Sonar as an administrator without having to right-click it all the time, but I'm not sure if it'll make that message go away.  I think the only way is to turn UAC off.
 
Take care!

Sorry but thats the only way thar I know of some one will chime in though If there is any other ways around it I am sure... Your in the right place here.

One thing you could do Is run something like AVG free but kee it off then when you are finished for the day turn it on and do a scan ?

I know a guy local to me whos doing that and hasnt had any problems useing it as long as he turns it on then off whe nthe scan is done

I am actualy thinking of trying it my self now My own system is stable but then again I only go online on my DAW to get down loads and only go to trusted sites

Sorry I cant be of more help I am sure the rest of the nice people on here will come up with other ideas for you

The whole topic is a bit of a grey area around the internet traps...very few solutions, if any that I've come across so far. I probably wouldn't notice it so much because usually the case would be on the ground with the side panel on. Right now it's on the desk with the side panel off.

The other thing I thought of is that you were saying you ahave your OS, Sonar and record all on to the same drive. Your drive could be runing like mad trying to keep up.I am guessing at least your drive is runing at at least 7200rpm ? Thats the lowest recomended for recording

I would still defo recomend to you to record to another drive it may help :)

You are posting too many messages to too many threads, addressing too many, prolly, simultaenous, issues, for you to attain a rational resolution in a reasonable amount of time.

The result: too many changes to your system before determining root causes for the many questions/issues you are asking help for.

And since not everyone is following all the messages conflicting advise will result in confusion for all. And prolonged agony for you.

I recommend you review all that has been posted in attempt to help you.
Start a new thread, stick to it, resolving one issue at a time.

"The less you know the more you believe."
Language is how we get things done, hopefully avoiding conflict. The words we know and use determine our thoughts, our understanding, and our ability to recognize truth and lie.
American English is full of stupid phrases and spellings. And way too many clichés that have lost purpose. Many of these phrases have come to mean the opposite of what they originally meant. Examples: "You really have your work cut out for you" was a good thing when first said. "Steep learning curve" is now used to mean difficult to learn. I am real tired of the favorite utterence of politicians, "The American People."
"Up," "down," "out," and "off," phrases are major players. And most all of them are just plain stupid language. And very annoying as they have become uttered everywhere all the time. Combine silly phrases such as "mix-down," and "back-up," with "I was like, duh" and "she goes, uh," the constant laughing (lol) for no reason, and speaking about oneself in the 2nd person universal ("I was standing on the volcano, you could see the ocean."), and ya gots some real "communication" goin' on.
At best these historical inanities merely slow the process of understanding.

Too often they result in war.

I'm thinking of doing a fresh re-install of all of Sonar soon (haven't recorded anything serious yet).  Thinking of installing the 32-bit version.  What would be any cons of doing so over the 64-bit version, if any?  Just seems there are a number of headaches with plugins to have to work around with the 64-bit.  If there's no audible difference in quality, why not just use the 32 (as long as I CAN on 64-bit Windows 7)?

The problem is not Sonar 64 bit, it's UAC.  I have it turned off on my DAW because of the same issues you're experiencing.  What you could do is to turn it OFF and disable your NIC when working with Sonar.  Those two should be disabled anyway, at least while working on projects.  Then turn them back ON when you want to surf the internet.
 
Yes, you can have both versions of Sonar in a 64 bit system.  Both Sonar 32 and 64 bit can co-exist without issues.

So you're saying if I unplug my wireless network adapter and turn off user account controls when I work on projects, I should avoid any of the issues I have?

Does doing that make for all around better, more functional results?

Installing just the 32-bit version wouldn't solve these problems as it is?

You can open up any plugin that's using Bitbridge by holding the 'SHIFT' key and a window with the normal title bar should appear.
 
From this new title window, it is also possible to toggle the plugin's GUI to show it or minimize it.

It's turning UAC OFF that will fix the issue.  Turning your NIC has a dual function of avoiding any internet threats and not interfering with your work with Sonar (especially if it is a wireless card, which are known culprits of performance issues).

Read above.

Nope.  Again, the message is related to UAC, not Sonar.  Turn it OFF and you shall see.
 
 
Take care!
