Hi, everyone. It's been a long time since I've been on the forum. Let me give a shout out to
Planetearth,
Jimbo 88, and
Large Style. Thanks, you guys, for helping me out in the past. As you can see from my signature, I now have a monster system which I recently built and am running SONAR Platinum. At present I have a project with basically a rock band setup (multiple vocals, three guitar tracks, bass, drums, B3 organ), which has about 25 different tracks. This really should not be taxing my system at all. I have been having a great deal of trouble with audio engine just simply cutting out, all the time, at unexpected times. I have started tracking the usual suspects, and made some progress. I can now get my project to play through without a problem, but I cannot export anything. I went into BIOS and deactivated hyperthreading, all enhanced power saving options, C-states, and other options which might be a culprit. I've gone into task scheduler and deleted every unnecessary program there. The ones I left I am pretty sure are not a problem. I tried to alter the audio buffers in ASIO and tried them from 16 all the way to 1024 without any effect. I tried altering my playback and record I/O buffer sizes as well, again without any effect. I've tried looking at computer events and aside from deleting Apple's Bonjour did not find anything else of note. I downloaded LatencyMon and checked the system with this app, but it could find nothing wrong. In fact my delays were never any more than 250 µs, both DPC and ISR.
So now I am stuck. I am trying to export the individual tracks as wave files, but every time I try it, the audio engine suddenly cuts at various times, sometimes as little as a second, sometimes as long as a minute or two. I've yet to get one completed wav file out. I've tried looking at the Task Monitor and cannot see any unusual I/O problems occurring with the disk drives or the CPU. I don't know where to go with this problem now. I hope one of you guys out there could help out. Thanks in advance.
