I just had a crash to desktop trying to clone a track in this project. I have been fighting SONAR all day so far. Report was generated and dump sent to Cakewalk with my e-mail so I can be notified.
 
I think I am done fighting Sonar for the day. I have wasted 6 hours trying to get this project going and I have run into nothing but issues most of the day. I am going to uninstall X3E and see if that makes a difference or not when I get back to it. 
 
8.5 did not have any of the issues I ran into today when I compared X3E and 8.5. X3E did have VST3 plugins though. I disabled them for comparisons sake though. I like some of the new features in the X series, but I am thinking about going back to 8.5 and finish this work.  

And another crash just closing SONAR.

Hopefully not mixing VST2 and VST3 Waves plug-ins in the same project.

No, I have the option set for VST3 and using them exclusively. Thanks though. That could cause issues for sure.

try cloning a track with nothing in the vst, exc.
if that works well than methodically keep adding what ever it is on the cloned track that's crashing and you will find your problem.
cant say ive had any issues with cloning tracks, I do it all the time.
I typically import a track template, then clone the same one for dupe guitars, vocals, exc.
 
I have noticed in X# it takes a little bit longer than it did in x2 though
not minutes, just about 10 seconds longer.
 

I clone tracks all the time too. I had an earlier crash and it was reported. This time it just crashed to desktop. There were no plugins in the cloned track. It was vanilla.

Windows event viewer? What does that say?

You seem to have more problems than anyone else, even with operations that are common. I've cloned Sonar tracks with X-series DAWs hundreds of times, even back to the scary X1 beta, and never had a crash. There may be some kind of root cause to all  these problem, and if so, and your time might be better spent trying to find it than constantly fighting Sonar.

Nothing, it was turned off.  :/

Gee Craig, you have really stated the obvious.
 
Unfortunately I am not the only one fighting SONAR at times. So the statement I am having more troubles than anyone else is not too accurate. I have no issue reporting them where others may. I know people who have been so fed up with SONAR that they are on another platform. I can't afford the switch.
 
I think the root of my issues are that SONAR does not like older projects I am working with and can't absorb the settings at times. I have had several older projects that CW has and displayed bugs. I have also been told that CW had an issue with my older project and suggested a way to circumvent an error.
 
Sometimes I find valid issues as confirmed by CW TS. 
 
I would be happy to check other things that may be wrong with my setup, where would you suggest I look? My setup is pretty stable outside of SONAR btw. I have zero issues in SF, Toontrack products, Vegas Video, etc... Did I mention that 8.5 is as solid as a Rock too?
 
I am sorry you don't approve of my posting issues and you can't grasp what I may be running into or why I do something in a particular way. If you want to gather a collection for Protools HD for me, I would gladly switch platforms. Right now, I can't afford it or I would check it or Studio one out.
