See every once and awhile i have to ask myself how a dimwitted guy with no talent such as myself, makes it thru life. I mean  I've used Sonar to create an income where I own a house in a good neighborhood and my children are attending top schools in the world.  I have to pinch myself.

Then a thread like this comes along and things get much clearer.   I'm competing with lots of people who find ways to not get things to work.  I keep pushing buttons and pluging things until I get something.  Sonar is one of the most easiest things I have ever stumbled upon.  Thank God for that....

"Its over"? I'm always the last to know. I should have known when you didn't call. 

Yes. it's over.  And I DID call - your voice mail box was full.  So who have YOU been talking to where your messages are full?


And, you forgot our anniversary, AGAIN.  And you failed this month's Cosmo quiz, again.


It's just not working - I think we need some space.


How'd I do?  :)

Its working for me LOL! 

I don't think the track count makes such a big difference. I have drop outs often. What you set buffers for? I have 2 sound cards and couple USB Audio from keyboards.

here you go again. I just started the music computer, opened Sonar and went to Plugin manager. Before I even ran the scan- it crashed, saying- Sonar needs to close. I did not do anything. Haw inspiring can it be to work under such conditions?

So I restarted. I noted that if I restart after crash without restarting the FireWire mixer, the input levels come all the way to the top next time when I open Sonar and I can not record. Mental note: do not be lazy and shut down, get up, restart FW mixer and then start computer and open Sonar. This is the beginning of my session. Lets see what happens next. I bet it will behave from now on- it just likes attention. I do need to run Plugin scan- I installed this free Native Instruments filter that (by the way) did not show on my programs list but got registered some how. lets see if Sonar crashes this time.

Yep, it crashed again when open Plugin manager. Interestingly- Sonar crashed but plugin manager did not and I was able to run scan, and then open Sonar again. When opened Plugin manager, Sonar crashed again. That is 3 times tonight.

yep, continues crashing when opening Plugin manager. The Driver (NI filter) is not on any menus. Giving up. 40 minutes later... I am still starting my session. 2. 15 am. Wanted to test my MIDI run. (If you read my thread about strange midi loop- the other night I had unknowsn notes and control change for Cutoff comming from nowhere in to my Fantom keyboard). Tonight I have no MIDI signal. Same set up, same wiring. Same track, same MIDI ch, same Fantom board. No MIDI. All softsynth not responding to keys. I guess I should restart...  

Restarted. MIDI is back. Operator error, sorry- my fault. I wired it wrong. Fixed. Now- the MIDI loop is back too. I thought, it comming from Raprure, but Rapture track was frozen. Click on snowflake- it got unfrozen. Ouch. Attempted to freeze it again. The system hangs, track saying, "Busy". About 3 to 4 minutes later it gives the visual presentation to the track and playback, but cursor stays in the same place. It means it is readt to drop out. Playing again few more times. Dropout. The system hangs, then relaxes. No crash. Would you like more? If you say, it is all because if XP- I don't think so. The other day it worked, which means- it CAN work fine- minus the loop of unknows origin that no one can figure out. If it played last night, it should play tonight, it does not. 2.35 am. About to give up.

Session Drummer is not responding. All tracks playing minus drums. Cursor is not moving and jumping back to earlier bars when playback stops. No more restarts tonight. Going to bed. This is my session. It was fun. Thanks for listening.  

Phew..... I saw the thread title and thought it was the world that was over.
