This could be a silly question, but I'm not in front of Sonar and cannot check. Is it possible to undock the console view from the multidock and just place console view on the second monitor? Would the problem still be apparent then? Sorry if you've already tried this...

You guys are awesome. I'd throw my computer off a cliff if it did that. 

Ya'll have the patience of something patient.




FWIW, I launch SONAR 8.5.3 Classic Edition and it works great until I want to turn it off.

That's why I haven't tired to sell my license on ebay... because SONAR 8.5.3 Classic Edition actually works.



Thanks for the heads up. 

I sure hope they get this fixed in X2b.


best regards,

You using dual monitors now Mike? I thought they skewed your stereo image or something. Good to hear monitor floating is okay in 8.5 though.

I'm using my duals as one big monitor but I might try this later to see if I can replicate.

I un-dock and float the CV on my second monitor and don't have this problem.

I can't replicate this. Is there anything special on the master buss fx etc?

I'm really glad I'm not the only one with this problem, although I'm sorry for all of you that have it..

I've had this problem since I started using X2 and have sent in countless reports and really thought it would be solved for X2a.. Since it wasn't and also; since I hadn't seen any posts hear about this issue, I started to think I was the only one. That's why I posted this in the first place.. I really hope Cakewalk sees this and maybe even can give us a little update on if this is something they're working on.

Good question about the fxs. It actually seems to have something to do with this!

I opened the project that I use as an example in the video and re-saved it, but without any FX on the master bus. I then closed it and reopened it and it didn't crash anymore.

I can't say if this is what it's all about, but it fixed the problem this time anyway.

In the video I have the PC activated on the master, with only the Concrete Limiter and also the LP-64 EQ.

I use Concrete Limiter and Slate VCC on the master buss, 100% of the time. Anyone else who has this problem use Concrete Limiter?

I am unable to duplicate your crash. I tried with and without the Concrete Limiter.

What I've found with this is, when I start a new project, it doesn't initially happen. Then at some point during the project, it starts happening, and happens 100% of the time from then on. Then on a new project, it's gone again. My project template just has Voxengo SPAN and Flux Stereo Tool in the Master bus FX bin, and Console Emulator, Bus Compressor and EQ on the master ProChannel. I never put anything else on the master bus, unless I'm having to master something myself, which I rarely do.

The new project thing might well be something to do with it. I tried it on the project I'm working on at the moment which is only about a week old. I've only got SPAN and the PC on the buss including the Concrete Limiter. I'll try it on an older project later.
