That might mean it's a system file, probably a shared library; most likely you are using DXI version of these programs? I've seen those get corrupt before by 1 single shared dll. Not sure, but that could be the case.

I had this problem in my previous version of sonar and I thought that upgrading to sonar 8.5 would solve it, but alas the problem still persists. Thanks much for your recommendations. May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

If you want mor than 4 gb (I recommend 6 at the minimum), you'll need windows7 x64; your motherboard and CPU should support 64bit OS, if you've got anything above pentium-d CPU. If your board is older however, it could probably only support 4gb, even if it's running a 64bit OS; 4gb for a 64bit OS is too little for daw use IMO. Regarding your problem, it could just be a cakewalk problem or something with 1 of their files on your system, since those 3 synths are all from cakewalk, no other synth does this? And I doubt pentagon or psyn II take up that much memory.

Whenever I bounce an audio track to clips or whenever I frees a soft synth, some of my other soft synths that are not frozen will begin to play with a very choppy glitching sound. I have to close the project in order to get them to play normally again. The only thing that prevents this from happening is to frees them. can anyone tell me why this is happening? It happens with dimension pro and with Psym 2 and with pentagon. I'm thinking that this may be a memory issue. I'm running sonar on windows XP pro 32 bit and my CPU is a duel core Intel with two gigs of ram. A friend told me that in order to take advantage of the four gigs available I need to either get windows 7 or upgrade to a 64 bit motherboard. Is this a memory issue? If not how do I resolve this issue? May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
