sharke: can you let me know when you get your copy what version it's up to and if it's stable? Right now, I have four "MiniDumps" of data where SONAR X1 locks up and crashes me out of the program. For doing nothing except clicking somewhere.   Any thing I can do to send these or ??? so I can figure out what is going on?
 
The last was just selecting "staff view" from the menu and ***crash***.
 
I'm left with the conclusion that the software demo is either full of bugs - which is bad enough. But no way to tell if the 'real version' is any better.

 
there is a reson they call them minimum requrments.
now this is just me but if i were to be dropping 4 bills on a software i WOULD be testing it with the latest up to date technology i could offer in my possesion
.i WOULDNT start with a test machine running an operating system thats about to have its support ended by microsoft and Sonar.
 
and to boot..if i did do that,i sure wouldnt come on this forum complaining the software is full of bugs..lol.
im sorry if i hurt your feelings but this is one of the strangest things ive ever heard.
 
to your deffense,you did say your running it on windows 7 now and its running much better,i comend you on that. :)
i know it can get frustrating sometimes when work is messed up by strange coinsidences.
anyrate,enjoy the demo and hope to have you aboard here and hanging in the forum w/ us.
it really is an amazing software.
make some cool music.

Not even close.

That's ok -  fanbois amuse me.

Seriolusly though - is this the normal 'attitude' on these forums? 

Are your WinXP and Win7 installs a dual-boot configuration or two separate machines?
 

Crlcpr: welcome. Sonar as you know it has changed and is rebuilt to X-1 ..to date there running X-1d patchd, this runs quite well for most user and on win 7 is quite stable !! xp has issues as a os... and many systems need'd updating even though Sonar 5/6 ran fine .. This happens.. Now x-2 is about to come on board and is looking good, I would not judge x-1 buy a 2 yr old demo... Seriolusly though - is this the normal 'attitude' on these forums? dont buy into that !!

I'm running Sonar X1 Exp D on a i7 with ALL of the Bells and whistles (Rain computer built for audio). And I have to say X1 Exp D is VERY Buggy and unstable. Most if not All of the numerous bugs I've called in about have been reproducible on Cake's end so I think it's safe to say it's buggy and full of troubles that NEED to be addressed so as to re-gain or at least maintain some level of trust with the customers. Losing the ability to Fastbounce timecode based plugins with the X1 D patch has really left Sonar CRIPPLED. Longer bounce times add up with large projects. Everything I do is large and Full of timecode plugins (antare, melodyne, gtr rig, waves). Longer bouncing means either the CLIENT pays more if they are there for the tracking/recording or I eat the cost so as not to drive up my customers prices for Cakewalks BAD coding and lack of responsibility in not following up with another update (and apology) or a quick fix of some sort. X1 shouldn't be left crippled forcing the customers to upgrade to get the 'Fix' as "it's fixed in X2".

Its all good Charlie !!
