X2a: Nudge crashes sonar

Hi ! 

Can someone please confirm ... 

I get fatal crashes everytime I mess with NUDGE (keypad 7 and 9). 

First of all, they don't work
if I go to the keyboard bindings menu.. and "re-assign" them to nudge 3 values, it does not work either, 
pressing 7-9 crashes sonar .. 

I use Sonar X2a, studio. 32 bit,

Anyone seen this, or can reproduce this ? 

Thanks !

    I'm using sonar X2a 32 bit
    On my laptop I have to turn on Num Lock
    I select the clip to nudge and it works as expected.

    Hi Rabeach ! 

    Thanks for your reply ! 

    Yes I know about numlock, as I have 1-3 assigned to previous-next measure, and 4-6 assigned to previous-next marker, 
    and both of them works just fine all the time (can't live without these..)

    it's only the nudge thing .. I'm soo used to have those, now I hit the keys by habit, and it crashes Sonar instantly ... a few times a day .. quite annoying if you ask me :)

    That is annoying. I’m sure some others will post shortly and might have more to offer. Hope you get it figured out.

    In the meantime please update your sound interface device drivers and firmware to see if it makes a difference. Thanks.

    have you tried opening a new project and trying it there as well?
    id also try onpening your project in safe mode (hold down CONTR.while opening your project.

    i might also create a dummy midi file/audio file just for testing purposes.
    try nudging this dummy file.
     
    it could be a vst,a synth your using.
    or possible something corrupt in the project got saved.

    try disabling all vsts and synths first.. then try to nudge.

    Hi ! 

    Thanks for all the ideas...!

    Meanwhile I've been digging further, I have another computer that I use my same X2 on, and the nudge works ! 

    on the projects that I have problems on, I only have TTS1 loaded, so I doubt that VST's would be the problem, but I'll try on another blank project tomorrow, just to make sure. 

    I will also check for soundcard update, just to make sure, but since nudge works on my X1 installed right beside X2, I would tend to think it's not the problem, though it never harms to check for updates ! Thanks for the suggestion ! 

    I begin to think that something is wrong either in my sonar config files, is there any way to reset this without re-installing ALL of sonar ? (which takes more than forever) ... 

    Any chance that I have this problem since I "imported" my settings, and keybindings from my X1 installation ?

    Thanks again for your help, greatly appreciated !

    Please note just because it works on X1 but not X2  does not mean you can rule out drivers or firmware as the issue. Cheers.

    my sonar config files,  is there any way to reset this without re-installing ALL of sonar

    I don't think it will help but it is here.

    Indeed ... resetting these preferences had no effect ... as you predicted!

    I tried a project without any VST ... blank project ... created a dummy MIDI track ... press nudge ...=crash again, 

    This happens in both of my X86 AND X64 installation of X2a. 

    Problem does NOT occur on my X1 installation. 

    I checked my Maudio audiophile 2496 drivers: they were up-to-date@ 6.0.8. 

    that's very odd.. because pretty much else of the software is working fine...

    I've submitted a few bug reports to cakewalk .. but I've never been "lucky" enough to have any kind of follow-up. 
    So I'll try to reach tech support directly then .. 

    I guess it's system-related, as my other computer having the same X2 is Nudging just fine, 
    but still, I find odd that both 32 and 64 bit versions are crashing at the very same function, 
    there must be a single DLL or something that got corrupted, that I could simply replace. 
    (that I would need to know which file, as I rather not re-install everything ... )

    If ever you have other ideas for me to try ... please send them my way ! :) 

    Thanks again for your help ! 

    Cheers !
