Why bother? He only has 2 posts so he's probably from gearsluts.

Look at his name. He's probably from gearsluts.

as pointed out, a studio down for 7 days?

Hyperbole, or a frustrated noob?
 
Just because he sounds like he's from gearsluts, doesn't mean we need to act like we are, does it?  Not straight away, surely?  Maybe we should all move there.  My original posts were about benefit of the doubt, innocent 'til proven guilty.  Stupid idea, I'm of to gs..

You're right. My apologies to the good people over at GS. I never go there but a while back, it seemed like there was some kind of feud between this forum and GS.

Hi, Guitarpima.
 
It looks like you were right about the OP.  He's never been back.  I don't frequent gearsluts either.  They do seem to be a funny bunch (being diplomatic there).

Don't MAKE me stop this CAR!  :)

Back to whatever shred of a possibility that the OP is still engaged in this thread, IF you are still there, there are folks here in the forum that will try to help you resolve any setup or configuration issues you may have.  

If you are interested in help with anything, please post as much detail as you can on what these issues are, so that we can try to help.

Can we just collectively stop the nonsense and keep threads on track?  That would be great.

There was another name that was mentioned....I long for the day that the community wakes up and realizes that dude is one of the most misinformative, misleading, pompous, hurtful, and sarcastic individuals that has ever been on this forum. He wins the Richard Cranium Award every year hands down as well as honorable mention for the "start trouble and run" award. A respected member/drummer from the UK that followed his posts put him in line at every turn for a bit. I never said it, but should have. I salute you for your efforts (you know who you are)....and I wish the forum would have joined your crusade. I would have joined you, but I get too violent and own a home near this guy. Every time I go there...I entertain the thought of paying him a visit just to see if he'd attempt to treat me in person like he has numerous times on this forum. See? I start getting in nut mode....so I really try to stay away from stuff like this. I've been doing good with my anger management. :)

That is it ! I have had it with Sonar.
7 days with no studio income because of X2 Producer. Nothing but dropouts, ticks, crashes, sudden distortion after countless hours of tweaking and no useful reply from support. X1 wasnt much better but at least it worked for a few hours every day with only a dozen engine stops and a few crashes and a little distortion here and there.

So.... Goodbye... Tomorrow I have to find a new program...
Any suggestions ? I mean GOOD suggestions that works day and night without agony...?

Sure, try Cubase 7 or Samplitude. Great DAW programs like SONAR X2!
But honestly you will get the same problems again. I'm just saying it often come down to bad XP32 tweaks on Windows 7 / Windows 8 x64 system, and S-h-i-t behind the wheels. I don't know but I bet you done all the XP tweaks, disable graphic and set to  backgrounds task you found over the internet? No wonder you have problems!
 
 
Hope it help!
 
Best regards
Freddie

They only say, "Goodbye to Sonar," and whenever they do, they always have, "two posts."


??

What is wrong with these people?

Yes, fist POST is always ---"Testing" does it work?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Seconded one is "SONAR sucks!"
 
 
 

Light blue touchpaper and stand well back!

I've not seen him carefully go through an entire quoted conversation changing someone's forum name (s****, s****) into something rude.  I was absolutely staggered that someone claiming to be an adult went to all that trouble.  It says a lot about you.  I find it imposable to take you seriously after that.

That was in response to you doing it. Stop playing the victim here dude ... you started that ball rolling ... it's all there in black and white ....

It's right here ... http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=2718574

I have definitely woken up in an alternate universe this morning. Why on earth would a customer be loyal?

You started that ball rolling jb ... if you can't take it, don't start dishing it out. You and several other members have done it before, and honestly, I could care less. I took it as just busting chops ... I certainly didn't (and don't) take it to heart like you're doing. Sheesh.

As for Danny ... he's 10 times more vocal about Sonar than I am. He's made it pretty clear it wouldn't take much for him to jump ship. And he's stated repeatedly that he has the money to hop on a plane and fly anywhere to meet someone face to face to have a physical confrontation with them. And somehow I'm the bad guy? He just said a couple days ago that the only reason he got in to troubleshooting computers was because of how badly Sonar ran. I don't see how you can say something much worse than that about Cakewalk, can you? Yet, somehow I'm the bad guy. I don't get it?

I've helped far more people here than you ever will just because of your attitude of walking away from a problem. I'm around here because I want to get the product I paid my hard earned money for in proper working condition and to help others whether that be to encourage them to move on, or work around the things that are broken. Far too many people see the same problems to allow people like you and John to come in here and downplay it and tell them it's their system. Far too many.

Anyway ... I do apologize. I didn't think it was a big deal about changing the name changing thing that you started and it's obviously made you blow a gasket. That was not my intention.

Hi again.

First of all thanks for all your replies.
And I agree with you that my post is very sad and not seeking constructive solutions in any way.

I'm a musician more than anything else. I spend my time to be creative for myself and for all the musicians that comes in the studio.

Believe me when I say that I have done more than most musicians would do to make X2(a) work but I want to spend my time on music - not on buffers, drivers, Windows tweaking and all that. 

So ... For those of you That knows a lot about it this is my setup:

Dell XPS Studio PC, i7, 3 GHz, 12 Gb RAM, with a clean installation of Windows 7 x64. Newwork adaptor is disabled in BIOS along with the built-in soundcard. For this maschine I use 2 x 28" monitor running in 1920 x 1200 pixs. 
Also for this studio I use the Allen & Heath ZED R16 firewire mixer with the latest driver and matching firmware.
After the clean install of Win 7, all of Dells own applications and tools was gone and the Non relevant tasks are set to manual start and are inactive when Sonar runs. there is no antivirus.

There are no other programs running on the pc exept Powerdirector for video editing.

On top of the clean Win installation X2 was installed from the optional CD. The installation went fine. After the installation X2 was launched for the tests and so on, rebooted and X2a was installed.
Then the countles modules, instruments and patches was installed. All in Admin mode and with no breakdowns.

Then the trouble began starting with countless dropouts. I went through the entire website and this forum and tried systematically every possibility one at the time going back to the previous settings as soon as the latest setting was changed - you know how time consuming this is... Right ?
I have consulted all the Cakewalk documentation including the reccomandations in the 9 hour long video.....

Just when I thought I had it after 20 miuttes of recording and playback Sonar went into a distortion hell almost ruining my Adams monitors.
This let me to believe that there was something wrong with the firewire card in either the mixer or the pc but a change with the simalar mixer in studio 2 and a new firewire card in this Dell changed nothing.

As I said I like to spend time on music. 
However narrow minded it might seem I expect my daw software to behave as it is supposed to. I dont mind spending 15 minuttes tweaking latency and buffers for the driver and harddrives - but then I expect results and getting back to what its al about: creating and recording
