because it's bottled up inside and makes me sick.
 
I'm posting here because I know my friends will hear what I'm saying and know the truth in my words.
 
The work I did for Warren is posted in the songs forum.
I fought my way through the project because he ask me to. I wanted to record but really didn't want
to deal with X2a.
 
The reason I'm posting...
 
Frank made a comment about the lead guitar. I was surprised he was the only one.
 
The part was recorded only for Warren. It was a "dummy" track. I had planned on laying
down the part(s) ( I planned on doing the lead parts last )
The problem was that it would shut down...it would do crazy things to parts..I mean there
were so many issues that I just couldn't believe anything could be that bad.
 
I gave up. I didn't want to lose everything and since it was crashing not only itself but my computer
I mixed the dummy track in and called it quits.
 
I thought this evening that I would go ahead and try. I recorded the two tracks for the first two
short lead fills and set up a buss for them....
It went nuts when I dragged the buss to where I wanted it. Nothing for me to do but close it and
not save the changes.
Well it had already crashed with SONARPDP.EXE before all this so I gave up again.
 
And all the snap crackle and pops....now matter what settings...it's just the longest list of issues
I've ever experienced since the day I started with a Pentium 100.
 
I give up. You win Cake.. 

Oh man I am sorry to hear that Michael.

I'll not ask for your spec or tell you it's your config.

I'll just say sorry that you're experiencing those problems.

^^^^^^ what Ed said.

Thanks Ed.
Yeah it's to the point it's best I don't open it. No good comes from it.

If it weren't for the friends here and hope that the update fixes things-I would just move on.
Even fighting with a different program would be better than this.
Absolutely worthless to me. I hope an update fixes things because
this PC is fine. It's worked other Sonar versions just fine and like I said...
no other issues at all.

Thanks Alex.

I thought the final results sounded great... I admit I only listened on my lap top and I primarily listen for the vibe, drive, and feel.

I thought it was smashing.




best regards,

Thanks Mike.
No doubt I'm happy for Warren it turned out.
It was getting there that was just to much to take.

What I should do is make a video.
It's proven it's consistantly screwed.

If people could see what I just went through and realize that
the video and audio was processed with the same system...they'd
understand why X2a makes my stomach turn.
Well it's shut me down.

I can't record unless I go backward to 8.5 ....I don't roll backwards.
Just sickening. I'm not going through another project dealing with that
junk again.

I'm sorry to hear that, too.  I wish had had something more constructive to add.  

The day I rolled back and erased X1 off my machine was the very first time I ever actually made use of a disk image restore.


IT FELT GREAT!

I have never looked back.



I hate not being in an upgrade pathway... that part really sucks.

My plan is to buy a fresh DAW this year and try to get 10 more years out of 8.5.3 and what ever else I try out in the future.



Sorry to hear that it's happening to you. It made me feel dismayed when it hit me. Good luck with what ever move you make.



best regards,
mike

I think your problem is that you didn't drag and drop in any loops.

Sorry Spacey. I couldn't resist:)

I'm still on 8.53. I don't really understand the lure of X. (even though I bought it to stay in the herd) so I really got nothin as far as a fix goes (except uninstall).

So sorry to hear of your troubles ol pal.  That's sorta why I still use 8.5 at work and hassle with X2a at the project room.  I really do like many of the new features but it ain't near as stable as 8.5.  Hope you get it sorted.
