Hello everyone,
Well I just googled and found this thread so at least I'm not losing my mind. I've been using Cakewalk Sonar since 2005.
Just started experiencing unbearable crackling on playback. Thought I had loose connections etc. My older audio plays perfectly.
Through trial and error I've isolated the issue to the use of a VST - EZDrummer 3.
So basically this is a CPU overload issue? I can try to resolve by throttling or changing settings but am I correct that this problem will simply go away if I upgrade to better laptop? Throw a little $ at the situation? Because life is too short for this crap.
I'm running Sonar on a MS laptop and using a Crimson SPL interface.
