Bapu has poopy pants for sure doesn't he?  I didn't even notice that...
It's like treading in something stinky Bapu left on the floor then going around to shake everyones hand in blissful ignorance.
 
I shall send him the curse that will make him stick his big toe through the bedsheet tonight for that.
 
Then he'll be sorry.

I rarely get Sonar crashing or dropping out but Camtasia is a nightmare in comparison although to be fair the latest version has improved things considerably.

While I was making the X2 video I was using Camtasia 8.0.1 and I was lucky if I could run it for much longer than 30 minutes without a crash - (that's the editor not the capture software which was fine). There seemed to be a fairly major bug with markers but the latest version 8.0.3 is much better if still a little sensitive.

I've never bothered to try and 'optimise' for video simply because it's so stable as a DAW I don't want to rock the boat.

If it ain't broke..... etc...etc
Man Karl, total opposite for me. I beat my pc's to death with video's and they NEVER crash thank God. Camtasia 8 was weird...it messed up on me a few times so I went back to 7 and that's where I am still. Just got done using it for about 12 hours without a single crash or snert. Same with Vegas...I beat the living heck out of it and my pc's all the time and honest when I tell you (touches wood) never a crash. My temps ramp up to about 60 C during a render, but that's about the only thing happening over here.
 
I'm fine with Sonar too as long as I stay away from x64. I'm starting to believe (from more testing) it's 3rd party plugs and VSTi's. As long as I stay "straight Sonar" it's been rock solid. As soon as I start messing around with other stuff, that's when I seem to have issues. I've tried my best to use nothing but x64 plugs too...so whatever it is, so far I can't narrow it down other than to stick with 32 bit....it just works for me.

Its more like:

how SONAR handles plug ins (including it's own) and VSTis.

Those plugins and VSTis often work real well in certain combinations and they also work well in other DAWs.

It is how SONAR handles the stuff and the wild number of combinations that makes it all seem so spontaneous and random.

The only practical solution is figure out what you think is doing it and stop doing it.

I'm so used to it all working well that if I introduce something new and it's makes something flaky I notice it right away and I make the problem go away... like when the ProChannel was switching on and off by itself.

I sent that head ache to the penalty box. Game over.

I can confirm that as well. And give examples. The PX-64 Percussion Strip. If you don't have the input signal hot enough going in to it ... it just flat out does not work. You can twist knobs till the cows come home and nothing happens. Jam up the input slider and it will kick on. Throw it in one of the other DAW's I use ... never have to touch it. There's many other examples I can give too, but I don't want to come off as I'm bashing Sonar. I think it's just the fact that so many different vendors have had their finger in the Cake batter bowl that things aren't as 'streamlined' as they should be.

That problem plagued me like, well, the plague. Doh! :) But I have to admit, it seems to be fixed with X2. Now, I have had individual modules go dead, but it's very rare, and fixed by removing the module and reinserting it in to the Pro Channel.
