Hello everyone. I'm still fighting with this and it just gets stranger... as I explained in my previous message, I cannot bounce or export audio in any way in Sonar 8.53. Since then, I tried it with other sonar projects that had the same virtual instruments. Ivory 1.64 and Toontrack Superior 2. In the 3 other sessions I tried this in, bouncing and track export/mix down went fine without a hitch. I go back to the project that it wouldn't work in, and I get the exact same error that I got before when trying to export etc. I even went and resaved the session along with its audio content, to another drive, closed sonar, opened it, tried to bounce, and I get the same run time error, which kills sonar. other projects from the same drive export etc with no issues. I do however, end up with an empty wave file or files in the directory I specified in regards to the problem session. Playback and recording in this session is fine. I am getting no dropouts, errors, or other weirdness, unless I try to bounce tracks, export tracks, or mix down. Why oh why is this happening with the only project that I must finish for a deadline? Am I cursed? Lol. Any ideas anyone? I've been digging around the cakewalk forums etc and am not finding any info on this. Also, I uninstalled some things I don't need anymore, got rid of spybot, (but kept avast), updated j sonar, reinstalled the registry keys, ran a registry cleaner, then restarted the machine, but, as this only seems to happen with a single project, I doubt those things have any bearing on it. however, they are still good as far as general housekeeping goes I suppose.
