logic: I runn Sonar x-2a on a asus P5Q with a q9550 win 7 32 bit.. it runns realy well and never crash's... maby we should go over your system !! this board requires this chipset driver to work properly, its old but works , perfect ... http://www.asus.com/Mothe...ket_775/P5Q3/#download .... Version 9.1.1.1014 ....3,72 (MBytes) 2009.07.17 update.... see your video drivers are up to date !! the latest bios is 1102 and there are meny memory issues/fix's !!

A good way to be able to open old projects is to save every track as a wav and then you can open and remix them in whatever DAW you want, anytime in the future.

What are DI Pro plugins? I can't fine any reference to them on the net.

Mister original poster - you have been a Sonar user for 2 years now, and have only engaged in the forum for a total of 21 posts.

Number of posts in this forum reveals nothing. Some posters with high post counts have contributed little to the collective pool of knowledge.
 
There are, fur shur, hundreds of forums about the planet that are dedicated to CW software. I frequent some of them. Too bad my posts there do not count here.  Need a universal CW posting account.
The OP is obviously having at least 2 issues: s
 
Smething not working correctly.
 
The experience of the drastic change in the FUI that came with the X series.
 
(And the stubborness, demonstrated with X2a, of the managers refusing to revert to stuff that actually were better ways of working..)
 
The OP unfortunately has allowed the 2nd source of frustration to interfere with attempting to solve the first.
 

I agree with you completely on a high post count not meaning quality.  (I certainly have posted some dumb things - usually from my doing: errant read of a post, tired and either crabby or in a hurry and not thinking).


My point on the low post count was not about his content, my point was that he had simply not engaged in any form over a two-year span.  So, he may have a whole raft of issues that are aggravating him to the point of posting as he did here, but because he never posted these issues nobody was ever able to see that he was having likely fixable problems, the result of which may have been less of an angry post than he did here.  I don't always explain things well the first time around - please substitute any sense from this explanation for my original posted thoughts on this - thanks,

Sounds like your OS registry is probably a mess, and it's not just something a normal registry cleaner can deal with, so try this. Run 'Re-Image' once and your OS will be literally 'brand-new' again. Whenever i'm having these sorts of problems which are not wide spread then i run Re-Image and wallah everything starts running normally.

 It is $69 for one license or $99 for 3 licenses and it really works, it's the only OS fix-it software in the world that can do better than an expert human technician.

A lot of people are not aware of just how badly Windows corrupts itself within a relatively short period of time just from everyday normal use. I run Re-Image once a month and many times Re-image has had to completely replace over a thousand OS files all relating to application paths and file extensions etc etc. Please if this does fix your problem be sure to come back and tell as a testimonial, i would be glad to hear the good news.

You'd have to be pretty DIM not to realise a typo when you see one.


Grum.

I don't know what X2 Producer Expanded is though.


Grum.

Well I am DIM often. But without having some notion what is going on with the OP's setup I'm not too sure this forum can help. And yes it could be Dimension Pro or something else. Right now I don't know for sure.

 

I think most of us have had some problem or other over the years - I certainly have - but Sonar has always been useable to a degree. The fact that it will work perfectly for some suggests that the right pc set up is out there somewhere.

Grum.

Assuming you're not here just to troll (though your original choice of thread title makes me wonder.....), a suggestion that might (or might not) help.


For what it's worth, I can load projects created under Sonar 8.x.x and X1 into X2 without problems. If there was a general/widespread problem loading pre-X2 projects into X2 without X2 crashing I suspect this forum would be alive with it. It isn't.


You say you're running Sonar 64bit, but in only 4GB of Ram. I'm wondering if that's enough for what you're doing. Multiple instances of Dim Pro can use lots of RAM, depending on the sounds loaded. Some Session Drummer kits use loads of RAM as well. DAWs do not like being in an environment where they are squeezed for resources.
 
I ran X1 in 4GB without problems, but apart from Session Drummer I use hardware synths so I don't usually have synths or large sample libraries filling up RAM.

I suggest getting Windows Task Manager or the resource monitor up and running and see how much RAM your're actually using as you load multiple Dim Pros/whatever.

I hate like heck to put more wood on the fire as Sonar is my DAW of choice. That said, I sincerely believe it's a bit more senstitive than any of the other DAWs I use and I'm starting to see this now with each new version of Sonar. For example, I have a few plugin issues that are Sonar specific. These plugs behave perfectly in my other 2 back-up DAWs. I can't use the Sonar "effect tails" when recording at 64 samples via ASIO without having the audio engine stop on me when I press stop after recording. This drives me mad and doesn't happen in any other DAW.

So though the OP may have other problems that we might be able to fix, I'd agree with him that there are a few anomalies within Sonar that you don't see in some of its competition. If I didn't see it myself, I'd never make a mention of it...but they definitely exist in my realm.
