I have a sub bus that I am trying to assign to a my drum master bus but this drum master bus wont show in the pull down list on the sub bus when it does on all the other busses.

I try and delete this buggy bus and Sonar crashes every time.

Nasty buggy Bus!

Sonar wont file an error report and naturally I get the old SonarPDR wont release the driver routine for 15 mins (Please dont respond to this part of the issue)

Anyone else having A buggy Bus at all?

Just tried removing anything assigned to that bus and deleting the bus and now a crash again.....

Not cool!

Do I just continue the project with a dead Bus running the risk of further instabilities down the line or do I start the project from scratch? (sighs, I have just spent 2 hours routing everything)

Make a copy of the project, strip out everything not essential to illustrating the problem, and then send it along with the crash dump to CW. I'm sure they'd love to see it. 

You have a corrupt cwp file, which unfortunately cannot be repaired other than by creating a new one and transferring all the original project's files to it. But by sharing the project with CW engineering you might be helping to make the cwp file structure more robust in future revisions. 

The fragility of cwp files (and lack of any kind of repair tool for them) has been a major weakness of SONAR for many, many years. The only defense is frequent backups.

Cheers Fella.

One shall do that then.

I get this. Here's the workaround:

Before you work with the buses, save, close the project. Open it again. Don't press play and then immediately do what you need to do with busses. Observe no crashes.

It seems like you need to clear something before you play around with the buses (Sonar should do this automatically but it doesn't). Appears to be some sort of caching issue, or buffer (not of the sort we are discussing) that needs clearing.

Well worked out.

Thats worked!
