Hi,

I have purchased Sonar X2 Essentials, but I have problem with XNL Addictive drums, after inserting it as soft synth, Sonar X2 usually freezes and crash.

Sonar X2 Essentials 64 bit
XNL Addictive Drums 64 bit
Windows 8 64 bit 

Thank you for any support

Ekral - welcome to the forum (though note that this is a user forum, not an official Sonar support site).

The likely source of your issue is going to be drivers somewhere along the line.  But before that, could you post your full system stats (including pc configuration, audio interface etc).  Best to add them to your signature so they'll always appear in your posts.

Hi,

thank you for reply. What is the official Sonar support site?

I have still problems with XNL Addictive Drums (AD) and Sonar X2 (X2). Each time I try to insert AD as a new synth track into X2, it takes several minutes and sometimes crash. Unfortunately, when I save project with AD track, close X2 and the reopen that project, it takes more then 5 minutes and freezes computer.

Other plugins are OK and I have also no problems with AD and Reaper 64-bit installed on the same computer. I it looks like, that AD is trying to pre-load all samples, while the X2 project is opening. 

Thanks for any help

Please list your system specifications (CPU, MOBO, RAM, hardrives, etc...) including what audio interface you are using. Be aware that because you are on Windows 8 you may encounter problems with some of your hardware if you have not installed Win 8 drivers for said hardware and many companies have not released Win 8 drivers yet. Also Cakewalk has not released an X2 patch for Win 8 yet. It should be the next patch released. However we seem to have a few folks on here getting Sonar to work with Win 8 with decent results.

Also I've seen a couple people complaining about Addictive Drums. Go to the XNL forum and ask there as well. They are quite helpful. There is no official support forum for Cakewalk. Just tech support who you can email or call. Ask them about optimizing your system for audio and they'll give you a bunch of system tweaks that should help as well. Welcome to the forum.

Oh yeah and hi, scook. Sorry I didn't get back to you about the mic thing. Craziness around here. I had been looking at those at one point too. Just can't invest too much brain power into it right now. Cheers. 

No problem, it was one of the one day deals that just came on the wrong day. Moving is a pain.

Indeed. Especially when you're so mangled you can only pack one or two boxes a day. Almost done though. Cheers, bro.

Ekral,


Welcome to the forum and Sonar...


I use AD under X2 on Win 8 without any issues whatsoever...


One of the BIGGEST mistakes that gets made is using the 32 bit version of AD in X2.
It can appear to be the 64 bit verison, but isn't really the 64 bit version.
While it should work, bitbridge or jbridge don't seem to like the 32 bit version of AD.


Are you installing from a Disk or from the On Line Installer?


I recommend using the On Line installer, as it will install both the 64 bit version of AD
and 32 bit version.

For me, there are 2 iterations of AD....the 32 bit and the 64 bit.  64 bit version is 
flawless for me.  I don't even bother using the 32 bit version.

And, as has been stated, it could be a driver issue as well.

I use a Roland Quad Capture, and have no issues with AD running under X2,
and it's on all my current projects.

Cheers!

Hi cclarry, 

thank you for info. I have used online installer. I will check if I really use right 64-bit version. Roland Quad-Capture has the most stable driver and it works great with X2 so I think there are no problems related to driver.

The strange thing is that the same 64-bit Addictive Drums works fine with Reaper 64-bit installed on the same machine.
