X3D new and outstanding issues thread (you and one more person can reproduce).

 
UPDATE!!!!!
 
Issues list now here:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/X3D-Issues-and-general-comments-m2952585.aspx#2952585
 
Other problems that keep cropping up:
These darned forums keep grinding to a halt.
Sonar X3 demo needed.
Never get email confirmations when logging bugs or feature requests with reference numbers.
 
 
---------------------
 
For the record the original POST WAS:

A thread for issues you still want fixed or any new issues with X3D. If you've got X3C or earlier versions please go away :)
Straight away I have one.
I have the Melodyne Editor. When installing the X3D patch it prompt for Melodyne installation, asking me whether I want to update/repair or remove melodyne. Wasn't sure what to do so I just cancelled it for now.
 
---------------------

Well the default setting would have removed my VST's - so no :)
Cancel seems to do it...

The Melodyne installer launched and found an existing install.
You chose the right option in Cancel (you didn't want to update/remove/change the existing install).   

Give 'em a

lawp
i'm hoping for a demo version so we can test some of these fixes ourselves

Give 'em a couple of weeks... Assuming X3D goes well :)

It's just a total guess.... But monitoring the success of the X3D patch takes time, and so does testing  building another (demo) build.
Unless they decided just to go for it anyway (which is a perfectly reasonable strategy as well depending on the methodology).
 
And everytime I play predict cake I'm generally wrong... So ignore me.

ps, did you update your sig yet? ;-)
 

Just exported a Video from the Sonar X3d timeline. Its a project I have been working on for a while.
 
The video was originally H264 1920x1080 and usually I would have to export the audio and re-marry in Premiere and re-export and then send back to the Director.
 
So.......
 
Exported the video straight from X3d in H264...checked the codec in VLC and it reads the same BUT the playback is blocky, staggered (i.e losing frames left right and centre) and utterly useless for me. 

The good news is at least it exports from Sonar with the new Video Engine but for me professionally this new video feature has added zilch to my workflow.
 
Very let down by this long time coming video feature.
 
Better luck next time Bakers!

It would be nice if they had an automated process that also creates a demo build at the same time. That way since it is a paid upgrade, those that want to verify fixes first can do so right away.
 
An alternative approach is to create one build that can serve as both a demo and full version. To unlock the full version you'd need to enter a new license key once you pay for the upgrade.

Media Foundation Video Support
As of SONAR X3d, SONAR’s video engine defaults to using Microsoft’s Media Foundation framework, instead of DirectShow. This fundamentally improves the way video files are loaded, played, edited and exported in SONAR. Media Foundation generally supports most older formats supported by DirectShow as well as many newer formats such as H264 video. If you experience compatibility issues with video files that worked well with previous versions of SONAR, you can globally revert to the DirectShow video engine by adding a configuration entry to AUD.INI:
To do this:
- click the "Edit Config File" button in Preferences | Configuration File 
- Add the following lines at the top of the file
[Video]
VideoEngine=0
- Save the file from Notepad
- Click "Reload Config Settings"
 
Now subsequently loaded projects will use the new DirectShow engine setting. Removing the above lines, or setting VideoEngine=1, will allow SONAR to globally use the new Media Foundation engine.

Nope Midi "ins and out" NOT  FIXED !!!! -Why Why Why !! Of all the DAWS this is a big issue for Sonar to address- MAYBE ? What's the point in having a midi arp VST if it "Plays " on all the other VST'S even when you have routed it just to that VST .Sonar is my "go to " Daw but with this issue I have to use Ableton -not happy

One shall test. One doesnt have much hope but you never know....

Has the behaviour changed in any way?
We have yet to have any confirmation from others, please refer us to your thread or give us your specific steps to reproduce, thanks.

Arto Vaarala Kirnu All inputs Omni / Sylenth input to Kirnu fine but .... When recording a bass say D Cam -Cypher or any VST  WITH INPUTS SET AS NONE it "picks " up Kirnu on Play back . Yes the Input echo is only on for the bass track . How ever when you then go to re-edit Sylenth it then also plays back the Arp

The Playlist bugs I reported 2 updates ago have still not been addressed. It's basically unusable in a live situation. I still have to use X2.

Specifics or references please.

Try to use the playlist with it set to always on top.
