Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Much appreciated.
 
My drives have about 250 Gb free and have been defragged fairly regularly. I don't think that is the problem.
 
I can happily work for days on end with no hassles.....until I use soft synths. As soon as I record a soft synth a bit further down the road I will have a crash. As soon as I experience a crash I cannot save the file. I get the disk full error.
 
I must stress that the crash is not related to one particular soft synth but to Rapture, Dimension Pro, Zeta 2.1. etc.
 
I'm in the middle of a big project that I have to finish so I don't want to take any chances with crashes until it's safely backed up. When I'm done I'll create a crash and post the error message. Don't know if it'll help but who knows?
 
My system:
Quad Core processor 6600Hz
Ram 6 Gb
! Mb Nvidia display card
2 x M Audio Delta 1010s (ASIO enabled) I did try WDM but had the same crashes.
3 X 500 Gb drives
Windows 7 64 Bit
SONAR X3c (64 bit)
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.

ASIO will only support one interface at a time.
 
How are you hooking yours up?

Your post is concerning with the repeatability of it. Have you tried re-installing the X3c patch? Just to be sure, I would recommend downloading it again rather than use the patch file you used initially (in case you still have it on your machine).

Was this ever resolved? I'm on X3e and I can pretty much guarantee some sort of weirdness/crash/hang when working with SoftSynths. Rock solid with audio only projects though...
 
 

Mike, without getting off topic I thought your issue on the other thread/s was related to one plugin which you saw in the event viewer? I don't experience any issues with X3E. The chances of your issue being similar to OP I think would be slim here. There can be many causes with similar symptoms in this scenario.

Cheers.

Hi Alex,
 
Yes it does seem to be Alchemy at this point but I have had these issues before and was wondering what steps the OP has taken since then?

Further down the line when I'm doing some random editing, SONAR crashes. Luckily I can still open one of the projects but when I try to save that project again I get the dreaded "Unable to save file - Disk is full.

 
You have/had this?
 
Thanks..

Yes I have - not recently though. Lost a project because of it. I think this was in X3C or D.

I've never had a soft synth problem w/ any SONAR except 32 bit synths on a 64 bit computer.  I'd make sure you are running all 64 bit for Rapture etc.  Other than that, I'm stumped.

Thanks AT - I'm sure Sonar is rock solid for the majority of users.
 
I'm stumped too however awaiting feedback from Camel Audio with regard to my Alchemy crash over on my other post about Soft Synth projects.
 
There are so many factors involved but I've followed lots of tutorials about having a bare-bones Windows 7 system, am using a tidy Audio Interface, have all drivers/bios/firmware up-to-date and have bugger all installed on my system as it's for music making only.
 
I'd love to know if Cakewalk actually recommend a set system - CPU, disk, RAM, motherboard, audio interface etc.
 
Lots of issues with bus powered 2x2 midi interfaces as well.
 
I know I'm technically on the wrong post here but was interested in the OP solution.
