Hi,
 
I've been seeing some pretty odd behavior, wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. 
 
1.  When I use 'bounce to clip' after doing v-vocal or some other mod, the transport becomes unresponsive.  The space bar nor the play button will actually start playback.  I can still move around in the timeline, so it's not a total freeze, it just will not play through.
 
2.  Pretty regular crashes/hangs.  Actually more hangs than crashes, since it is not generating an error dump.  Not particularly repeatable, but it repeats.  often. 
 
I just installed the hotfix, thinking it may address the problem, but it seems to have had no affect.
 
This is on Win7 32 Quad Core machine with a MOTU 828 Mk II.  The project is using 2.6GB (40%) memory and is 41 tracks. 
 
Thanks for any info you can provide on either issue.

By default 32-bit windows restricts the amount of RAM for any one program to 50% of available RAM to a max of 2Gb.

You can set a 3GB switch to force windows to allow a program to take up to 3Gb of RAM.

May be worth a shot.

oops. That link was for Windows server.  Here's a link for Win7.  It's from Autodesk, not Microsoft, but should work. Autodesk is a reputable vendor.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I just tried that fix, but soon after, it still crashed out.  This time it was the 'Sonar has stopped responding' message.  I never had a single crash in X1, so this is a little frustrating.

I don't crash but sometimes it takes a sec to start playing and stoping in large projects? Feels kind of unstable but it has never crashed?
SAVE "CTRL+S" a project take sometimes long time before SONAR X2 reacts and save?


Is this kind of unstabel things you referring to?

No, these are actual hangs or loss of functionality where I either have to restart Sonar, or the project closes by hanging or crashing.  I have taken to using CTRL-S a lot, since I sometimes only get in a few changes before it bails on me.

acatalyst: are you running build 308

Yes, I just installed the 308 hotfix yesterday, but this problem was occurring previous to that.

see if this helps : http://www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx?id=30679

I installed the VS 2012 Redistributable, restarted Sonar, loaded the project, and it played for 3:54 then froze. :(
