Never experienced any issues with MOTU gear hear at all. It's always been really solid.

Hi Phil. actually after two more restarts, the run time error stopped and everything seems okay now. The machine is an ADK rack mount quad core machine, I7 processor, 3gb ram, 4hds, etc. I do use it for net and office work too right now as I only have one computer at present. But, I do have the latest version of avast anti virus 4 home edition, from time to time I run NoAdware, and I use reg scrub xp from time to time to sort registry issues. Interface is Motu 896MK3. The operating system is Win xp pro sp3 with all the latest updates installed... The machine itself is really solid. I was just making the comment that windows is the weakest link in the chain when comparing it to Mac OS X. One odd thing though is that once in a while when I am playing back audio, whether it be in winamp, vlc, or in a sonar session, all of the sudden, audio playback will stop, jaws stops, you get this really high pitch sort of screechy white noise through the monitors connected to the motu, the computer will freeze and you need to manually turn the machine off. that appears to be the only thing that works to stop it. This could be more of a motu driver issue perhaps? It doesn't happen every day or anything and it didn't appear to happen when they installed and tested everything. I guess I should call them back again about it. Cameron.

Cameron wrote: Hi all. Using Sonar 8.51, whenever I bounce tracks, when the dialogue box goes away and I'm back in the track view, as soon as I arrow to a different track, I get an unexpected run time error dialogue box, then sonar is shut down. Any idea what might be causing this? Phil replied: Don't know however, I would post your findings to Cakewalk. they are vary good at troubleshooting these kinds of issues and would definitely want to know about crashes like this. Cameron wrote: And as a side note, pro tools accessibility on the Mac can't come fast enough. I am so sick of this crap. Why is it that when you don't have any deadlines etc, windows behaves but as soon as you need to get work done in a timely manor, it goes mental? My low end second hand Mac from 12 years ago was more stable than this top of the line custom built DAW, Phil replied: I wouldn't count on it. I am sure that accessibility or not, Pro Tools will still crash out on the Mac, smile. Also, you couldn't do as much on your 12 year old Mac so that's hardly a fair comparison, grin. Cameron continues: the Win OS being the weak link in the chain I believe. Sighs. Okay, rant over. Phil replied: Hmm, not seeing any issues here running Windows XP SP3 Professional corporate here. talking of which, who built your DAW? Which version of Windows do you have installed? Is your PC partitioned? Is it an exclusively DAW machine or, do you have other applications on the same partition such as Office etc and are you running all of the latest fixes from Microsoft for your version of Windows?
