It's like a project starts to slowly corrupt over time.
I've made this exact same point on a number of occasions. Weird stuff starts happening in a project over time and then you lose your confidence in it because you're always worrying what in the hell is going to screw up next. I've actually had to abandon a couple of projects and painstakingly import everything into a new project because they got so screwy. One recent symptom of a corrupting project that I've mentioned on here is when selecting a range of contiguous clips with SHIFT just spontaneously stops working in certain tracks. The SHIFT key then takes on the function of the CTRL key, in that I can only use it to select multiple clips individually. Not a good sign when basic clip selection doesn't work properly, for sure.
Project performance does at times degrade over a session, often leading to a crash/white-out. Transport becomes delayed and jittery, and the now-time marker/line might even disappear completely. Last night, a project would not stop playing. Not with spacebar, transport, etc... Sonar was not frozen, yet nothing on screen worked. I had to kill the Sonar process.
And yes, clip selection often goes wonky on me too. Sometimes when trying to select clips,
something gets "locked" and although I have no mouse/keyboard buttons engaged, it starts highlighting regions I pass over and will not let me individually select anything.
Sometimes clip envelopes become un-editable (via shift-click, or even the "Clip automation" drop down option). Once this happens, I have to collapse then uncollapse the take lanes EVERY time I need to select an envelope.
Sorry, I believe I went off course here. Let's not turn this into another scattered bug thread. The main point is, X2a has some issues that need to be fixed. These are not wish-list items for X3.
I have little tolerance for whining threads and people taking below the belt shots at cakewalk, theres no need for that.
I think you know that's how I am anyway.
but your different, I don't see your posts as whining or taking low shots at cakewalk, you seem to be brining up real issues and saying them more with concern than complaint and in a productive manner.
I can also agree with you that x2 could be better. it could benefit by an update I think, now weather or not that update is totally needed, well I guess its who you ask.
even thought I think it could be better and benefit by an update that's not to say im not happy with it as it is.
there's just a few things that annoy me more than stop me from being productive.
I do hope you stay through the next what ever it is, lets hope an update for the sake of a lot of users.
on a side note:
your graphics problem on the other hand, have you tried that on another computer to rule it out ?
cant say ive experienced any graphics issues and im using a pretty basic graphics card (nividea GForce GT 560)
either way I wish you the best, you've been so helpful to so many people on this forum, your one of the good guys, that's clear to say and anyone who thinks different just doesn't know your intent and who you are per say.
