Hmm, I was just wonderin about X1 as it seems the  upgrade has been real cheap, so wonderin why anyone would keep using an older problematic version. 
Konradh, me myself I would download the X3 trial version or upgrade and see if you issue goes away. Sort of worth a look see..

I agree, but I've had offline dialogs with Konrad, and his computer is highly problematic. I think X3 would definitely be worth using instead of X1, but I get the sense there are other problems that don't relate specifically to Sonar. I suspect when he finishes his current project he'll regroup.

Yes, Craig, thanks.  If I can ever get this current project to the mastering engineer, I will be willing to start fresh.
 
One issue is hard disk space.  I have a 1 TB SSD for orchestral samples and a second spinning drive for projects as soon as I can stop.
 
Catch-22: a rather full disk is probably making things worse but these weird issues force me to keep saving versions which in turn eats up disk space.  GRR.
 
Believe me, I am not angry at Cakewalk or Sonar.  I think I had a flawed installation from Day 1, something I won't get into here.

Go to Best Buy and for under $100, get an external drive for saving your Sonar per-project folders. You'll thank me 

Craig, Thanks.  I have Passport 0.5TB that I am also saving to.  I save to both the internal and external.
 
Oddly, the externally saved projects are having the same issues.  Sweetwater says that the PictureCache and Wave-something being full are part of the problem, but when I pointed out that the problem also happens when saving to the external drive, they did not respond (so far).
 
I agree with you but this is a total mess.

The Picture Cache defaults to the C: drive, so that might be your problem.
 
In the AUD.INI file, you can specify a different location for the picture cache AND increase its size. This documentation should help - they're the second and third items down.
 
You can change the location of the Wave files folder in Preferences > File > Folder Locations. Move the folder, then specify the new location.

Hi Konrad, emagine I would try save it as a new project-bundle in a new folder somewhere else, with a new name, and then close/open Sonar to see if it helps. Might indeed be a bad spot on a drive.
Other thing I would check is to increase buffer size in Preferences or tracks you know you won't need to change....bounce them to tracks so they're easier for Sonar to run.
Perhaps double check if EZ drummer 2 is both deleted at Program Files and Program Files (x86) to be sure both 64 and 32 bit version are gone.
 

The real advantage to bundling and unbundling a project is the process rebuilds the project file. It may clean up some issues. It will definitely shrink projects that have been bloated by excessive audio snap markers. Of course the projects cannot be actively relying on audio snap at the time of bundling.

I had massive probs in Sonar with a new installed interface (Akai Eie pro), turned out to be a bad spot on a harddrive.....after windows online checks and checking/repairing diskspace job from the maintenance menu probs were gone.
 
anyway, we all know what it's like & go through that sometimes....good luck
 
 
 

Thanks, guys. Y'all are awesome.
