I've got the PCIe Multiface II...never had an issue.  Just updated drivers yesterday.

I would like to thank Noel for jumping into this thread.
 
To the original poster: I sincerely hope that that you end up choosing to hang in there with X2 - even if you use X1 until you can get your interface replaced.
 
The folks here in the forum truly do work with best effort at helping folks resolve issues on people's systems, and the community has been a wonderful resource over the years for me to learn a bunch of techniques (as well as how to simply use Sonar, in areas I have limited experience with).

Thank you for you concern and your encouragement.  I've been using Cakewalk products for a long time.  Somewhere in my studio sits a 3.5 floppy disk of Cakewalk for Windows 1.0 so I have history with them.

Noel, has PM'd me and I am trying to make contact with Frontier Design to convince them to just have a peek at the minidump and contact Cakewalk so that (maybe) an accommodation can be made code-wise to overcome the problem.  I'm going to wait and see.  However, this special attention has convinced me that the individual customer still has importance to the leadership of the Cakewalk team.  Who would want to abandon that kind of dedication?


 
 

great post Robert. :)
 
and mr modbod, your one of the good guys .
hope this all gets worked out man, weather it be a new unit or what.
this forum needs people like you.
haven't always agreed with you/but always respected your opinions.

Load it, click the analyze button, scroll down to learn more than you ever wanted to know.
 
I am running w8, s8.5, and x2.    Using an "old" emu 1820m interface with the pcie beta drivers. The standard drivers crashed lots with sonar.  Not so much with reaper and studio one.
 
Still crashes occasionally after I have opened/closed lots of projects for review.
 
And sometimes when attempting to open projects created using windows 7.  The paths for plug-ins are different.
 
Mostly it was/is the midi portion of the drivers.

I have a lot of History with Twelve Tone too from the DOS days. been with them ever since.
If Roland could find out the cause of my file search SONAR crash, reported from 8.5, X1 and STILL in X2, I would think twice about it. This was reported to development and they chose to not pursue it. I have a lot of projects from years past that are missing audio files, or have been moved. When searching for them SONAR craters to the desktop. 100% recreatable here. I have since reformatted the HDs and program files since this was originally reported. I don't know that it is a data folder structure or not.
 
Dave, you will be doing yourself a favor if you get the FF UFX.  :) I'm just sayin!
 

It's been a long time since I've been on the Cakewalk forums.  Nice to see some of the folks I recall from quite some time ago are still hanging out here!
 
Hi Dave,
 
I'm running Sonar X2a 64 bit under Windows 64 Pro, S.P. 1, RME Fireface 800, MOTU midi express 128 and a UAD-2 Quad card.  (I think that's a somewhat similar set-up to what Danny Danzi has).
No problems so far, but then I haven't really pushed my system much yet.  I'm about to, as I'm starting to mix a couple of projects.  We'll see how it goes.
 
Hi Danny,
 
So, you're shying away from 64 bit still?  Maybe if I stay with all 64 bit plug-ins and VSTi synths,  that might keep me from having too many problems.  I'll soon see!
 
Nick

Dave,
 
Get the RME.
 
It will change everything.

I thought that was very cool.

Everything in business has a priority level. If you are referring to the CWAF tool then my guess would be very few people use it. I have not ever used it since pro audio 9. I'm not saying I'm representative of it's use. That aside if it is broken the likelihood that it will be fixed or dropped is I think residing under a fairly high probability. I'm sure it happens some where in the world but I have yet to experience it elsewhere; that is a CTO posting on a user forum and assisting with a solution. It is appreciated Noel.
