Everybody, I understand now what your trying to explain.
 
On this PC, which has Win8 and X2a I don't get this at all. On this machine I only have the the stuff that came with X2 installed. And I don't have most of the extra PC stuff loaded on here except CA-2A. I don't even have Dim Pro/Rapture installed. I just use CW Sound Center on here when I need something.
 
However, tomixornot has brought something back to my memory. On my music PC, I have opened some synths and had them just stay there while I tried to drag them to the other screen. But after trying to drag them, my mouse ends up on the other screen, and then they jump over to it about 2-4 seconds later. Maybe this is what ya'll are talking about?
 
I'm gonna go do some more testing.

I've just tried this on my non-daw pc (which obviously does have Sonar installed) and even with a project playing, Session Drummer opens it's gui within about 3 seconds, albeit with a temporary glitch in the streaming audio, but no whiteouts or freezing.
 
Without a project playing, SD loads in about a second.

I tried with a loop running - no hangs loading Session Drummer 3.
 
Stop the loop/playback - load Session Drummer 3 - same freeze till you move the mouse to task bar or another monitor.
 
Gap less win :)
