super glue it to the port ;) .. then you won't try to re-find the driver when you put it in another port :)

It would be nice to have a way to simple disable MIDI functionality, for example, inside the Preferences area. I never use MIDI, so anything Sonar does regarding MIDI would be wasted CPU cycles to me.

I'm trying to think of a DAW that has no MIDI in it. I can't think of a single one. 

Paul P:js516, do you know if the audio devices are rescanned after waking from sleep or hibernate ?

  They're only scanned when the endpoint service starts up (boot time, or restarting the service itself). The service isn't aware of hibernation or sleep. As far as it's concerned, it had too much to drink, blacked out, and has a hole in its memory after waking up with a hangover. :D

I wonder if Cake or Roland can bring this up with Microsoft assuming the behaviour persists with Windows 8.

"Old post". Bumping this, I haven't tested it in X3 however. Somebody recently posted something similar to this before I lost the darn post.
 
(This thread, getting takelanes to be optimal , somebody had issue with MIDI implementation (TBC), and 64 bit precision. Guess they are the most pressing issues for me now).

Vegas - all the tracks you can muster. Just consider the video functionality a freebee.

So I'm not the only one with this problem, my setup inclueds...  Octa-Capture - PCR-500 Key's and a Alesis Control Pad and unless they are all turned on before launching X2 and plugged in the same way, then it's a nightmare! 

I have put away all of my MIDI interfaces (MidiSport etc...) and only use the one interface built into my Saffire. I just connect all my MIDI devices (keyboards, controllers, drumpads, etc) in series and set them all to THRU. I have assigned each one to a channel and keep a chart taped to my desk....I reserve a couple of channels for my main keyboard controller. 16 channels is enough for me, and having 2 channel 10s doesn't seem to be a problem.

I purchased Sonar X1 because Vegas will not do what I need for it to do as far as audio production.
I do video production too, and use Vegas Pro 11 64 bit (I have VP 12 but it doesn't seem to work as well for me as 11).  In Vegas 11 or 12 you can not solo a bus.  If you do, it will solo that bus from the other buses...but will also play any track in the TV that isn't sent to a bus.  So...bus soloing does not work.  It even states in the manual that this is how it is supposed to work now.  I also have Vegas 8 and you can solo a bus with that version.
 
But you are correct...Vegas does not support midi routing :) .
 
But...to me it would be like going from a new Porsche to a 1972 Ford Pinto.
