My standard screenset has the CV undocked from the Multidock and floated onto the second monitor.  The problem happens to me in this case.  I don't use anything as far as effects on the Master (usually take my mixed stereo tracks out to SoundForge 10 and do my final tweaks or mastering there)...... So from my perspective I don't see that using any kind of effects or PC on the Master Bus is the source of the problem?  Just my 2 cents..........

Because it appears that there are many of us that have this problem I wonder if it could be due to the system used the OS in particular. 

So far it seems it is a problem with floating the CV on one of two monitors and undocked. My OS is Windows 8 Pro 64 bit with 8 GB of memory. I have a GTX 550 Ti with 1 GB of on board memory. 

One last thing, I don't think it matters what FX is used. 

The crash occurs by just clicking on a buss. In my case it seems to happen on the master buss. 

Let us see if our setups have anything to do with it.

Thank you.

I posted about this problem a week or so ago but I didn't mention that I use two monitors all the time. I have this exact same problem. Instant crash when I adjust bus settings. I've come up with an unusual workaround where I create an empty track and link the volume mute, solo control to a Bus volume mute and solo. This has the added bonus of allowing my control surface to control the bus.

FWIW John I use Windows 7 x64 but it seems strange it develops on John T's set up which would suggest it's not a set up issue but possibly being triggered by an action/setting within Sonar.

I'll try an older project on my system later. I wouldn't normally notice it as I no longer use dual monitors as separate screens. I find screensets and multidock have almost removed that need for me. I still have multi monitors but mine are set up as one super wide dipslay and a mirror monitor by my keyboards.

I also recently built a new machine from scratch, all new components apart from the case and power supply, and it happened on both the old machine and the new.

I've tried a couple of my older projects and don't get it in them either. Perhaps it's a certain action or sequence of actions setting it off.

..so strange :/

Sp.. You place the multi dock on the other screen and the console in there? .. and maybe throw in some plugins as well on the master... 

Then close down and reopen the project and try and adjust the master in CV? .. :/ ..I really hope they at least can replicate the bug on ONE computer at Cakewalk..

My specs are:
Intel Core i7-2600 @ 3.40GHz   3.4GHz
16Gb RAM
64bit (both OS and Sonar)
Audio interface: RME DSPe RayDAT

Yeah. In multidock, floated. I've also tried it out of multidock floated. I usually have at least one VST on the master buss in most projects, even if it's only SPAN.

Floating CV is not a set up I normally use so it's a bit impractical to test every single project but as I work on something I'll test it in future to see if I notice anything that causes a crash.

Before you test FBB save it first.
