*Updated* Pro-Channel switches off after Close/Open in 64bit X1

 
SONAR X1b - 64bit - Build 255
Win7 HomePrem - i7(8 core) - 16gig RAM
 
I can recreate this problem everytime:
  • I have a project open with three instances of the Pro-Channel running
  • I close/save the project
  • I re-open the same project seconds later, switch to Console View, and all three instances of the Pro-Channel are now switched off, even though the presets I selected are still showing
Any ideas?
 
I've uploaded a short video of the phenomenon HERE to illustrate exactly what's happening.
 
 
Edited to add:
 
The problem only occurs after closing or opening a project in 64bit X1 (and then opening it in 64bit or 32bit).
 
The only way the Pro-Channel stays on is if I close in 32bit and then open in 32bit.

    Unfortunately this old news and I have been experiencing this behavior since launch.  glad you got it on video though.  this is my main hope for x1c.  I've got my fingers crossed because this a showstopper.

    Steve, are you kidding? LOL! Where have you been since December ... or did you just get X1? Heh.

    There are problems with the Pro Channel turning on and off by itself. The last official response I got was it would hopefully be addressed in a future release.

    So I wouldn't hold my breath on X1C fixing this.

    You either have poltergeists or it's a bug.

    I don't believe in bugs though.

    1080P!

    That's the way to do it Steve.

    Perhaps the hot fix that breaks audio snap will make the PChannel work?

    Chad; Bub - thanks for your replies guys.
     
    Yeah, I've seen the problem mentioned on here but the thing is, it wasn't happening to me for ages. However, in the last week or so I've bounced down a few rough mixes (I just opened them and exported the audio so I didn't listen to them) and then noticed there was something not right in the .wav files.
     
    That's when I opened them up and noticed that the Pro-Channel had 'switched off' at some stage.
     
    I've opened up some older stuff and the 'switch off' is happening on all of them.
     
    Oh well, at least I know now that I have to check it every time I open a project
     
     
    JB - that's spooky, I didn't think there was a ghost of a chance of that - I'm certainly not a phantom-boi
     
     
    Mike - it was my first go with HyperCam 2 - are there any better free video capture programs out there?

    Steve, I haven't kept track of screen capture much... I have a Captivate license but hardly use it.

    I must say that your results were as good as I might hope for... so I think you found a great choice.

    When I saw the 1080P option on YouTube I was sincerely impressed and appreciative of the fact that you provided an opportunity for us to see your GUI at full scale.


    best regards,
    mike

    Thanks Mike - I still have to work out how to get audio printed with the AVI, and then how to add annotations and text and I'll be flying
     
     
    @ Steve - thanks, I'll try the newest build, I missed the newer ones.

    One thing about screen capturing an audio program is that you sort of need to figure out some routing if you want to get full voice over and the actual audio in the project routed to the screen capture recorder.


    All the other categories of software are easier to capture because you'll probably only want the voice over and mouse clicks.

    With a music program you'll probably also wish for feature grade playback sound capture rather than just have it bleed in from the voice mic.


    best regards,
    mike

    Got it, thanks for explaining Mike - I'll have a read through the help files and see how I go.

    SONAR X1b - 64bit - Build 242

    Have you tried with any builds after 242? http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/reader.aspx/2007013244

     
    UPDATE
     
    Steve, I've updated to build 255 and the problem still exists.
     
    However, I just checked out a few things and may have the answer to why I've only noticed the problem so recently. I only swapped over to running 64bit for every project a month or so back and the problem is only occuring in 64bit - if I close and reopen a project in 32bit, the Pro Channel stays on.
     
    However, if I close a project in 64bit, it opens in 32bit with all the Pro Channels turned off.

    I switched back to X1 32bit just to see if my Pro Channel on/off problem would change and it didn't. It's still randomly doing it's own thing.

    I think I've made up my mind to not even install a 64bit version when X1C comes out. I always wipe my HDD and do a fresh install with just the latest patch (if it's cumulative). I see no benefit to X1 64bit since I don't need to access an exorbitant amount of RAM, and I'll never have to see another Teleport Server crash again. Yay! :)

    Steve ... I don't know if you saw the thread or not, but you can go in and delete the 4 .DLL's for the Pro Channel and not even use it. The graphics will be there, but the only thing that will happen is you will get an error every time it activates itself.
