So I used to use SONAR back in the day, and have been trying out SONAR X1 demo - this is the snapshot of the build I have: http://lcpr.net/test/sonartrial.png It's pretty nice. I want to use the staff to chart out songs, add lyrics, etc. I know the staff is 'limited' but it'll do for what I want. So I'm pretty excited and it seems nice. Except for the crashes. I should note that this machine is rock solid, has run REAPER, Cubase, ProTools, Sonar 6 with ZERO issues. But it seems that just clicking the wrong place, or (in the case below) just dragging a midi note can cause a crash. http://lcpr.net/test/sonarfailshot.png Are there fixes recently vs the demo version I have? Has anyone else noticed this? Fixes? I mean, I *really* want to like this but it's tough when a few minutes into the demo you get these type of crashes. Intel E8400, 4G, Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L, WinXP32 SP3

And can someone point me to the forum faq or setting so I can post a pic inline with the text? And format my message so it's not run-on like above?

For what it's worth, I have been running the demo for the last couple of weeks and have had some problems with bugs. The problem is I have no idea whether or not the demo version is just the original X1 release, or whether it's a trial of  X1d with all the updates and bug fixes. I'm guessing it's not because everyone seems to consider X1d to be pretty stable and bug-free (in comparison to the original release anyway). So I've taken the chance and have ordered X1. 

Besides which, you know what it's like when you demo a piece of software. Before you know it you're up to your elbows in a project, and you can't back out now!

And shoot, wouldn't you know it, I just loaded up Sonar to see if my splash screen shows the build like yours does, and my trial has expired! Now I am going to be Sonar-free until my copy arrives. This stinks! This is total BS! etc

  timidi: Can you tell me how you got the pics to show up like that? Normally it's [img]www.myspace.com\pic.jpg[/img] This forum editor seems *really* clunky.

  sharke: Well that's my problem too. But I *really* hate buying if it's going to be as buggy as the demo.

I just copied your link and pasted in using the little icon (left of the smiley) in the reply form.

Ok - I don't have something turned on then. My reply only has icons for the message. It does not have *any* formatting capability. Seems like the forum is about as buggy as the software. Click on the :Forum Menu: then FAQ and you get a server error. Cake - you're not winning me over let me tell you....

It's an ongoing problem with the forum software - only use Firefox if you can get hold of version 5, IE9 has known problems, so use Chrome

To get your pictures to show up, you have to upload them to a hosting site like Photobucket, get the link code from there and paste it into the image dialog box (part of the reply options)
