That is my laptop 8 gigs of ram stock never needed to upgrade. bought it in February I have reinstalled windows and the problems never really changed I did since that post do a cache update that Samsung released recently and now Sonar at least opens and runs ok but the vst scanner crashes everytime I try to use it. No other dongles I try to keep my setup dongle free but I love Reason and its my favorite music making program (sorry Cakewalk) so the ignition key was worth dealing with for me. No other copy protection other than the software e licenser on my system for a few arturia synths I am demoing. Balance works with Asio4all but its own drivers are much better. I did a system back up and restore about a month ago maybe 2 months. That avast was a headache to get rid of though had to contact their support to do a clean uninstall Cakewalk tech support said that any anti virus will screw up Sonar. I couldn't install it completely at one point but since doing that update i was able to at least get a successful install of X1a and I am currently downloading B C and D so I can be on the latest update and maybe even ditch my issues with the vst scanner which is a new issue that usually does not happen in Sonar. But since updating my Cache deal from Samsung I have had no problems with Sonar besides the vst scanner *knock on wood* if I can get Sonar working as advertised 85-95% of the time (i am a 10 year reason owner I am spoiled by stability) I will preorder X2 Producer just to show I have no ill feelings towards Cakewalk though I know release updates are buggier than an ant farm

That does sound rough.  hmmm..  The problems you are having, sound beyond my ability to help you solve.  I hope things get better for you

I will be really tempted to upgrade to X2 as soon as it comes out, and hopefully, any current issues I am having (such as my Rapture problem discussed elsewhere) will be fixed in X2. 

I might, however, wait until Windows 8 is properly released. X2 is compatible with W8, and I think it would be better to upgrade both at the same time, therefore not having to re-install X2 when the new OS comes out... 

+ 1 

its all good thanks for trying      

@Beepster... "I'm also worried the forum will move on to mostly discussing X2 and I'll be stuck fiddling around with X1." Dang Beepster, that's a concern of mine too. I think that will happen and all X1 users will be migrated to the Sonar/Producer Forum where users frequent it less often. In a sense, we're stuck in a predicament - do we buy in now and take a monetary hit or do we stay behind using older, out of date software that may not generate the volume of support that it use to generate while also taking a learning curve hit when some things have been improved upon in the newest version. That's why Cakewalk will help us all get on board so we're not left behind using older and outdated coded software. And by this, I mean they will offer us some deals.

SonarPlus? That remains to be seen... I know there will be no new version of that, but here's hoping I won't need it?

Keni--Oh how I wish you were wrong; I love my SonarPlus and use it all the time.  But now that it's creator is working for Cake we can hope that he will have some influence on putting some of its ease of use features into X2.  I love his blank page insert.  Sometimes I just want to fiddle around and not have a named project.  In X1 I always had to choose a name for a file and it slowed me down.  SonarPlus had that little icon of a blank page I could click on and voila I was into Sonar and noodling around and having fun.


I do not there will be some color options.  While this darker shade looks nice, with my old eyes, I sometimes need to tweak the colors to get better visibility and Sonarmods helped immensely.  Hopefully Panu will help us out some when the time arrives.

@skylightron... I can see benefits of both approaches to this upgrade and I think at the moment I'm sitting right on the fence with it. I wish I had a computer that could see the forum comments 6 months in the future to read up on how smoothly and beneficial a transition to X2 will be. Sadly Bill Gates keeps that technology safely locked away in his evil underground lair. *shakes fist at MS*

Well since I just ordered the book " Sonar X1 power" Monday, I'll probably wait a bit. Beepster your not alone brother, I bought Sonar X1 producer in April or May (can't remember exactly) for $349 then upgraded to expanded for $49. The next week expanded went on sale for $ 19. I decided then I wasn't going to buy any of the modules untill I found something I really needed, and only then for a good price. I haven't bought anything since. I'm not mad at Cakewalk at all, actually I've been very pleased with the stability and performance of X1d producer expanded.

Good point Skylightron. I am debating on grabbing this deal since I was already on the fence about upgrading to producer expanded anyway. This deal to get Producer X1 and get X2 Producer free may fit the bill for me. 

I love his blank page insert. Sometimes I just want to fiddle around and not have a named project. In X1 I always had to choose a name for a file and it slowed me down. SonarPlus had that little icon of a blank page I could click on and voila I was into Sonar and noodling around and having fun.

 
Hmm...  That sounds like that what Ctrl+N does by default.   I never start a project by selecting a template, I just use Ctrl+N which results in an empty, unnamed project.
 

@clintmartin... Yeah, I'm not actually upset as that's just how the cookie crumbles but I was concerned at first and rightfully so I think. Some folks took my questions as bashing or whining but I was just looking for info as I am completely new to the Sonar way and info was provided. Now I can make a more educated decision as to how I want to proceed and for that I thank you guys. And just so folks know when they see my handle I hope they realize I am actually an extremely reasonable fellow but I am also a realist. I only purchase quality products which serve a purpose. That is why I bought Sonar. I think it's great and it fits in perfectly for what I want to do. However being a realist if something smells fishy or a service/product being provided no longer meets my needs then I don't hold any kind of blind loyalty to ANY company. I'll just figure something else out. It's just business. Feelings or emotion should not come into play. So yes... if you see me posting I'm usually trying offer advice or receive advice myself and sometimes toss in the occasional bit of humor. No bashing, no angst. I've got plenty of other places on the internet to go to to fulfill those needs. ;-p

Ionian/Frank - is this what you are talking about...........? http://snag.gy/E3QAP.jpg

How did you make those show up? Mine are missing from Inspector, though I do have Record Arm and Input Echo showing, which your screenshot doesn't have.  http://snag.gy/37VuI.jpg
Presumably this display can be edited?

Do instrument tracks have Phase and Interleave?  I would think that's controlled by the synth itself, not the track settings?
