a while back it was only when id drop an vst on the master channel
it would happen.white out.
i havent done that too much but with smaller projects that have little value for quick mixes i do that.
rather than create a bus,i just rthrow it on the MC

If it is a Guitar Rig problem then I hope Cakewalk are looking into possible compatibility/stability issues with Native Instruments stuff (and the other way round). They're a huge vendor. 

i havent had one problem with guitar rig,but its also possible that i dont use it the same as you,i dont typically move alot of settings around or change components,eq,phaser,compressors,exc.
i will say GR4 +5 have been my bread and butter and rock solid.
but like i said,im a preset guy.

I often start with presets in Guitar Rig, some of the effects chains are excellent. However I usually tweak them a lot. 


However if you have Komplete then it comes with a huge bunch of extra effects, all the Traktor effects and vintage compressors (in Ultimate) etc. And the sucky thing is that they are all hosted in Guitar Rig, with the exception of 3 of their vintage compressors which they recently upgraded to standalone. About the only compressor preset I ever use is the "mix glue" one on their Solid Bus Comp, which nearly always works great for me. But when I load the project, even though the preset name is showing in the preset selector, all the dials are still zeroed until I go into the preset dropdown and select it again. 

Works for me. Update guitar rig software and sound device drivers. Update your sound card to the latest firmware and run windows update. Oh and rescan your plugins.

No problems with Gtr rig for me but I do get the console crash from time to time.

The workaround is when Console is crashing your project, shut down Sonar...Then Restart it AND DONT TOUCH ANYTHING, hit save, exit Sonar and then fire it back up again.

Console then works again.

This works for me, hope it does for you too.

Guitar Rig has lots of PDC needs... and when you switch through presets the PDC factor is changing on the fly.

Many of the emulation efx use convolution math which can take a long time to process... the better sounding stuff taps the PDC too.

SONAR gets flaky when you require it's PDC feature to actually do it's PDC thing.

It works... but it's flaky.

If you wrap your head around the fact that the PDC makes it flaky then a lot of stuff starts to make sense and you can adapt a work flow that let's you avoid most of SONAR's flaky stability.

I use a SONAR that is 99.99% stable... but I know what SONAR can't do so I don't do it even if the Cakewalk manual says that SONAR supposed to be able to do it.

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

mmmm....it did the same here.


I ended up using AT3 and sometimes get the same thing happen, but not as much....

mike_mccue : "but I know what SONAR can't do so I don't do it even if the Cakewalk manual says that SONAR supposed to be able to do it."

Perhaps Cakewalk should issue a second X2 manual describing the functions that don't work and how to go about not using them. This would be very useful for noobs like me.

I've had the exact bug sharke describes a lot. I don't use guitar rig, so that can't be the cause.
