Sonar 6 PE first problem encountered :-(
in [Cakewalk]
|
Prev: SONAR 6 arrived!
Next: Best DX7 Softsynth?
From: Sue Morton on 26 Sep 2006 07:49 Just installed S6PE, vanilla install (e.g. did not migrate INI settings), set up my audio card, brought up a simple project (midi with synths and audio tracks, no plugs), and started playback. Got an audio dropout partway through (which is fine, the ASIO buffer is set too small). However, S6PE has completely frozen with all windows and shortcut menus on display, that were open when the dropout occurred. :-( The rest of the system is NOT frozen, just Sonar. Is this what they meant by improved crash control???? S6PE hasn't been installed 5 minutes and already bad news... {sigh} -- Sue Morton
From: Sue Morton on 26 Sep 2006 08:03 Make that two problems... the most significant bug issue I raised in S5, is still present in S6. This one stopped me from working in Sonar and I had to switch to Cool Edit to finish. I'm very disappointed. -- Sue Morton "Sue Morton" <867-5309(a)domain.invalid> wrote in message news:Gt8Sg.8209$Ij.6960(a)newssvr14.news.prodigy.com... > Just installed S6PE, vanilla install (e.g. did not migrate INI settings), > set up my audio card, brought up a simple project (midi with synths and > audio tracks, no plugs), and started playback. > > Got an audio dropout partway through (which is fine, the ASIO buffer is > set too small).

From: Steve Karl on 26 Sep 2006 08:13 Out of curiosity, what is the bug you're talking about, theone that stopped you from working in Sonar? Was it also present in 4.0.2?

From: Sue Morton on 26 Sep 2006 08:20 I didn't run into any problems in this area until S5. I never got an exact description of the actual bug from Cake, but the symptoms are sudden CPU climb (e.g. running along at say 10%, then sudden jump to 20%, then 53%, then 76%) followed by dropout. The audio engine cannot be reset and although Sonar doesn't crash, nothing works until reboot and try again. There were some other posters in the Cake forum also posting this problem on S5. I send a scaled-down project plus the audio files to Cake support, they confirmed a bug and put it on the list to be fixed. I guess it is still on the list. :-( -- Sue Morton "Steve Karl" <nospam(a)noway.com> wrote in message news:RP8Sg.4920$Zj4.869(a)trndny04... > Out of curiosity, > what is the bug you're talking about, theone that stopped you from working > in Sonar? > Was it also present in 4.0.2? > > Thanks, > > Steve > > > "Sue Morton" <867-5309(a)domain.invalid> wrote in message > news:aG8Sg.8265$Ij.1582(a)newssvr14.news.prodigy.com... >> Make that two problems... the most significant bug issue I raised in S5, >> is still present in S6.

Yes. The new audio engine. That is what stopped me from moving up past 4.0.2 which is still working very well for me.
