Well said Ryan. And thanks for answering that in a normal (polite) font.
All that boldness and smileys makes my head hurt sometimes.
(But maybe that's just me)

Keep in mind that Freddie is not a native English speaker.  I think he does a great job in supporting Cakewalk.  But anyone can become frustrated from time to time.

This is a serious point...... elsewhere Freddie you said you were using 64 bit floating files as your recording preference.

I would imagine given the size of those wave files you'd need a fairly healthy I/O buffer set in Preferences-->Audio--->Sync & Caching===>Playback & recording.

Too small or large buffers there will cause dropouts while running under seemingly light loads. Basically Sonar can't get the data off the drives quick enough if too small or has to wait for the buffer to fill if too large. Result is a dropout either way.

HTH.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter if you come from Mars, you have to be absolutely accurate in what you are reporting. There are too many variables.

With X1 i never had a single dropout, no matter what project i was running on..in fact i became confident (dumb?) enough to leave a/v and wireless on while i was working..not a single problem...in fact i had never even seen the "drop out" warning thingy

so i can confirm that X2 is far more sensitive to this than x1...i had a three day downtime of productivity trying to assess why for no reason i started to get dropouts.. and while i dont mind disabling a/v and wireless to work on x2..i do note this as a comparison to x1..nothing else has changed in my system at all... and dropouts can occur on realtively simple, audio only projects...

This has been my experience also.  If I took the time to report every dropout, I wouldn't be doing anything else.  No changes to my OS or audio interface.
