This seems to happen to every project after it gets to a certain age. I click to open the master ProChannel on the console, and Sonar just hangs. 

I don't have any 32-bit plugs in there, no sussppiicciiious freeware plugs either. Just an instance of Guitar Rig with a compressor, and standard ProChannel modules. That's all I use. 

When it happens I know I have little chance of ever being able to open it again in the console, so I have to open it in the inspector. Not the end of the world, but pretty annoying and of course these little things just make you feel on edge about the general stability of the program when you're working with it. 

Happens to me too. Not a satisfactory thing. 

I think the ProChannel probably needs some TLC from the bakers. 

It's not just the hangs, there are annoying little things about some of the ProChannel modules that need to be addressed. For instance, the clip light on the FX Chain module doesn't work. I could use that, I make use of those lights a lot when gain staging. And sometimes other module's clip lights will just randomly stop working. 

Sometimes I like to mix as I track and it is a recipe for disaster within Sonar.

Not sure what you mean by "certain age" but I have a project that is over two months old and I just opened up console view, inserted GR5 on a bus and opened ProChannel on that bus.

No problems.

Anything I'm misunderstanding?

Disclaimer, since I have a control surface, I NEVER use console view and so Pro Channel for me is always accessed via inspector in TV. So I might not understand exactly what the steps are to reproduce this behavior. I'd like to try though.

I stopped using Guitar Rig as it made Sonar huff and puff. For a minute I thought it had a smoking problem.

Hi Bapu, 


By "certain age" I mean that when I start a project everything's OK with the master ProChannel for a while, but there comes a point after which these crashes start to happen. Maybe it's Native Instruments related -I am partial to using their Solid Bus Comp on the master ProChannel. . I've talked before about issues that Sonar seems to have with NI stuff, specifically opening projects with NI plug dials turned all the way to the left. It happens for me almost every time with this Solid Bus Comp and I've gotten used to going straight to the master ProChannel to set it up as soon as I open the project. I recently updated everything NI related but this particular problem remains. But of course I have no idea whether or not it's related to these crashes.

I cannot work any other way

Maybe that's why they stopped bundling it. 

I too have had crashes using guitar rig. Not in X2, but then again I have used it sparingly since I had several crashes in X1. I don't think this is PC problem. I use PC on everything, including the master with a well stocked fxchain to boot.
