X1b: list of problems found on job
Hello, I've just finished the mixing session of a new upcoming album (christian music - Italy) and now I can expose the problems I found working on X1b producer. - At the first startup af a new session (after OS reboot), very often the audio engine stops, while playing, for three or four times. No freeze, only stop. After the third or fourth stop, everything goes on well.
- Problems encountered with TC electronic plugins such as Assimilator (sometimes X1 does not find plugin).
- Sometimes some folder group of audio tracks doesn't play. You can hear the other tracks but cannot see any mute button active on that folder. After X1 restart everything re-starts well.
- Sometimes PRO Channel says that a sonitus instance is already running and asks you to ctrl-clic to initialize. That Pro channel was previously unused.
- Colors not customizable.
- When you operate audio snap, if you forget what track you edited and set on it the "clip" visualization, there is no bookmark (or maybe I can't see it) that indicates that a rendering needs to be made. So, when exporting the project mixdown, operation comes very slow beacause of necessity of X1 to perform first the bounce of the clips audio-snapped. Not a huge problem but this makes exporting session a little bit long.
Only few problems until now. I can say that X1 greatly improves Sonar performances pushing this DAW to a very high degree. No match with 8.5 (very unstable for me). Great interface and great audio performances under W7 64 bit. Pc is athlon quad core, 8gB ram, Tc Electronic Konnekt 48 under ASIO

"Sometimes PRO Channel says that a sonitus instance is already running and asks you to ctrl-clic to initialize. That Pro channel was previously unused."
That's normal. You previously had Sonitus on the track and SONAR is asking you to initialize the ProChannel for it. I've done this many, many, times bringing in projects authored from SONAR 8.5 and below. This isn't a problem.
"At the first startup af a new session (after OS reboot), very often the audio engine stops, while playing, for three or four times. No freeze, only stop. After the third or fourth stop, everything goes on well."
Sounds like something is going on in your system. Maybe you're not letting Windows fully load before you're starting to push SONAR? I never get this behavior across multiple devices.

At the first startup af a new session (after OS reboot), very often the audio engine stops, while playing, for three or four times. No freeze, only stop. After the third or fourth stop, everything goes on well. If X1b detects that the audio interface's sample rate does not match the project sample rate, it will try to reset the interface's clock. If the interface does not respond as expected, you'll get an audio engine stop. It sounds like there is some sort of interoperability issue between X1b and your audio interface driver. Or maybe SONAR and Windows are fighting over what the sample rate should be...? If you make sure the interface is already running at the correct rate when you start SONAR, you shouldn't see this, but it's a new function, and others have reported some issues with it. Some have found it necessary to ensure that the Default Sample Rate for New Projects in Audio preferences also matches the rate of the current project.

I get this issue of no sound playback with Beatscape in one of my projects. At first startup it works, but if I record some vocal takes, and rewind the project at some point after doing some deleting and re-recording of some vocal takes, the Beatscape track wont make sound after a rewind and playback of the project. I don't know what's causing this, but if I close and reopen the project, Beatscape plays back with sound, again. This is with X1b.

Thank You for your opinions and advices.
Crashes happen far after the system boot. I report this issue after I have excluded any possible OS faulty operation.
About the pro channel msg, I confirm that this happens on a clean channel. Otherwise this behaviour wuold be correct.
I just finished 13 mixed projects and X1 worked really great. Tomorrow we're going to edit into a mastering studio. We're going listen to their opinions about our "sound" and X1 producer performance (here in Italy Sonar it's not loved very much, the most famous are Pro-tools, then Logic and Cubase ). I think Sonar is one of the best DAW on the market at every level.
Bye

I wonder if it might be an imported template from 8.5 that is causing it. If Sonitus was defaulted on in the template it could still be looking for it on a new track.

Yes. You could be right: this project began in 8.5 turning in X1 only for the mixing section. Thank You.

so will these issues be fixed in X1c or do you think Cakewalk will focus on X2 now that X1 is in full bloom?
