I find it uncanny that so many "long time" CW users come to the forum for the very first time recently and post this sort of thing...I guess it can happen but seems pretty coincidental.

You mean like all the people that popped up after X1 hit the warez sites and say they love X1?

Personal attack, Personal attack. It works for me so I must be warez? Yes I warezed CWPA6,7,8,9,S1,3,4,5,6,7,8.
Got me, Darn you are so clever. Your the man.

What is childish and ridiculous is joining a forum to say goodbye

EDIT changed if the OP changes the title

edit, fell for the bait.

This forum has truly degenerated into a very hostile environment.   I basically see two factions:

1.  The dedicated fan boy.  This poster will defend Cakewalk and Sonar to no end.  He will attack anyone who has a problem with X1 whether their problem is legitimate or not.  His sense of loyalty is actually misguided and baseless,  yet he feels as though he is a part of something and simply cannot let go.   The fact that the fan boy actually may be having real problems with X1 only fuels this blind fanatical loyalty driving him to defend Cakewalk/Sonar even more.

2.   The sky diver.  He is ready to jump ship.  He comes here to vent his frustrations in a place where some may sympathize with his disposition,  and others (namely the fanboy) will find a new enemy to set their sites on.  This person actually wants desperately to stay with Cakewalk,  but has succumb to his own frustrations with a less than perfect program.

I can sympathize with both sides,  but this is really getting to be childish and ridiculous.   

What's ridiculous is your post-so if we are not saying good bye we are fan boys? 853 works great for me, X1a works OK so far for my needs. So in  your mind I am a fan boy. Jeeezzz.
Edit: You see there are some like me-when we have a nice positive thread going and some (whatever) pops in for the 1,000th time just to be negative-Yep-I get mad. And I will everytime.

Ya these threads are like catnip for Cake fanboys.  I say 6 pages at LEAST!

Hey FBB,

I went through the all the plugs in a project one by one as advised by tech support. Several plugs caused crashes. 3rd party ones included: Redline reverb, Amplitube 3, T-Racks classic EQ & Classic Compressor. CW ones that caused crashes: VX Vocal strip and the LP-64 Multiband compressor.

However, if you shut down the machine, restart, reload the project, and go through the exact same steps again, some of the plugs would work just fine. Also, when I load the same project into 8.5.3, it works just fine. I'm pretty sure CW support was baffled by this. Hence them taking my system specs to their lab to recreate the problem.

I tried reinstalling a few of the plugs on my own to see if that would help- Nope.

Someone also mentioned it could be a memory issue: I built the PC myself, but had the RAM tested when I purchased it from the store, so I don't think that is the issue. Also, it works well in other DAWs.

Thanks for the suggestions.

So it is plugins that cause the crash?  A project sans plugins works fine?  Do new X1a scratch projects work ok?   That is, non-legacy projects.

Again the only fact that has any relevance is he joined today to say goodbye. This is FAIL at the very least. You can expect silly comments and general dislike when someone joins a forum to troll.

MANY of us would have been willing to help, but nope. No help wanted (a tired old story isn't it?) There is yet another person who joined today and people are kindly trying to help them out. Interesting, don't you think?

 I never needed help with any other version of Sonar. That's the only reason my first post was today. Honestly, I never thought of trying the forums, I'd never even seen them until today. I'm not some Cakewalk hating defector.... and I'm willing to see if I can get X1 working. Have a look at the issues I've been having in the above post. Let me know if you have any ideas. And please try to stop passing judgment before you know the whole story.

@Disturbed1:
Neither on my notebook nor on a similar system (AMD Phenom II 940, Win 7-32) I run into these kinds of crashes.
I ran into several bugs decribed in this forum, but not into constant instability.

So, while I fear I can't guess the source of your trouble (of course I think - like most - that X1 should run more stable on different systems and with different configurations), my only idea is centered around your plugins or a driver problem again.

When you had a clean Win 7 new install of x1, did you check a simple install without third party plugins first?
I just ask, because adding plugins one by one sometimes helps to identify a source of trouble.


However: if I were going through really big trouble like some of us, without getting a clue after several efforts in reasonable time, I would consider one of two things just as well:
a) wait for the 1b update while complaining about an altogether unuseable version and using somtehing else in the meantime or
b) leave X1 altogether for something which works better for me
Both are completely legitimate reactions of course.

But since I, as I said, have only limited trouble, and happen to like X1 a lot for various reasons, I'm trying to get by until the 1b update and help others doing so, even if only in a few cases where I know something or have an idea.

I had no problems with your goodbye post: it is not only your right to do so, but also a feedback, that the update is urgent.

But I also admit, that I have quit this forum for one or two weeks now, just because I find many comments in here not helpful at all (to say the leeast!), while we well know that the Cakewalk staff is busy working to get problems fixed, and while we try to help each other to get by until then as good as we can.

I feel a strong dislike for people who seem to feel all too well bashing through every day until the announced update. I would bash only, if I got the impression, that Cakewalk just wouldn't care. But that's obviously not the case. And nearly everyone has used a working DAW before X1, which he or she can rely on for the time being in mission critical cases. So yes (not aimed at you personally), besides well justified criticism there is a lot of self-complacent ox frog behavior in here!


P.S.    I wasn't aware I would meet half a dozen answers in between in such short time ;-)

I'm kind of puzzled about why it could work on essentially the same platform with some people and yet not do the same on someone else's...and that is with the same platform...

...and, yeah, it might be an idea to see what the mem dump files show..

@disturbed1 - I've also just noticed you built your own system. It'll be worth your while just running something like Memtest.

I doubt it's the problem if 8.x is running okay but a worthwhile exercise all the same.

People use different features, there are the users who throw in 5 tracks and import some urban techno dubstep triphow whatever loops and applaud how GREAT that works,  and others with 100 MIDI tracks running to VSTi having a chrash fest und find countless bugs, yet others, mostly the known fanbois here who obviously do nothing than opening the program and look at it, but mostly work on their post count here at the forum.
 
Still puzzled?

No, you right, I did and I'm sorry.

And the thread title is now far more appropriate imho
