    ... I just tried disabling the Ethernet connection and the graphics card simultaneously, and there was no change, still there. Then tried uninstalling the graphics card entirely and resetting...and it went away! for about 5 minutes of playback....

    All evidence does seem to point to the nVidia card/drivers as the culprit... Do you have another video card or onboard graphics you can switch to and test?

    Have you gone through all of the settings in the nVidia Control panel - disabling everything non-essential?  How about disabling the nVidia control panel itself?

    Have you run dpc latency monitor lately?

    Try switching to a different USB port (pref on a different internal hub).

  2. Hi, I just tested the plug-in (both VST2 and VST3) on my system, and didn't experience any problems.  My system is 7 years old (specs are in my sig).

    I didn't have the plugin, so started from scratch, downloading and installing it - but only the 64 bit versions.

    Try downloading it again - in case you got a corrupt download - then after the install do the required reboot.  Also, try the VST2 version if you haven't already (Though, as I mentioned, both worked fine for me).

    .... I have the Synth Anthology 2 instruments in the same location as my old machine -  C:\Program Files\UVI SoundBanks\*.ufs

    ...

    Those are the UVI soundbanks, not the VST instrument, which is a DLL file.  (The DLL file should be in the same folder and scanned with your other VSTs). Download the latest UVI workstation installer from here:

  4. I'm sorry this happened to you, and we've all been there... 

    But when was the last backup you made of the project?  

    If you went more than an hour without backing up the project (and you made a ton of edits in that time) that's a hard lesson to learn.   If you NEVER backed it up after having "spent the whole day" on the project, well, that's a much worse, but necessary, lesson to have to learn...

     

  5. Take a look at the Windows event viewer (Under "System") and see if it logs an error at that precise moment.

    The only other thing I can think of is software running in the background (anti-virus, for example) that is interrupting one of your DAW processes.  You might try disabling all BG apps one at a time and see if that ID's the culprit.

    BTW, I never bought a separate version of the Sonitus plugins.  I've only ever used the versions that came with Sonar, and now CxB (Cakewalk) over the years.

    Well, since Sonitus plugins as VST were never bundled with Sonar/CbB, either what you have are not VST, or you acquired the VST version at some point and just don't remember.

    In the early 2000s, I purchased the Sonitus VST bundle from a 3rd party company called Ultrafunk for $300... only to see them acquired by Cakewalk a year later and the FX  freely bundled (in DX format ) with Sonar shortly afterward.  I ended up using the DX version (and removing the VSTs off my system forever).  I still mourn that $300 to this day...

    ... I seem to be able to launch CbB projects with low track counts and plugins (hit or miss), but not the hefty one I'm in the middle of. Crashes every time with references to problem plugin.dlls spread among the ones in the project.

    If it's only crashing with bigger projects, that would suggest problems with certain plugins rather than system files (in which case you'd likely have crashes on every project).

    Try a RESET and RESCAN of your VSTs.  (Make sure you do BOTH.  Many users inexplicably bypass the RESET and only do a  RESCAN when it's just as often the former that fixes the issue).

    I have found different scenario with the same result.  JonD, Could you test this, please?

     

    Sorry, I would, but don't have the TH-U/TH3 plugin.  

    And just to be clear, you did try starting Sonar with "Run as Administrator"?  (It's not the same thing as "Administrator privileges" or belonging to the Administrators group, which actually has restricted access).

    Is there a way to run 2 audio devices in Cakewalk?

    Thank you

    Bottom line, if you need to record 4 channels simultaneously and be able to mix them as discrete channels, you'll need an interface with 4+ ins/outs.

    Alternatively, you can buy a small mixer (with at least 4 inputs) and feed the stereo outs into your interface, but of course you won't be able to mix the separate channels.

    This will probably spin around and bite me in the butt down the road. I have stayed on a FireWire interface because it is dedicated and not managed by Windows as USB is. When the day comes that I switch to a USB interface, I will probably forget reading this advice.

    We're in the same club.  I've been very happy with my two FW interfaces (TC Electronic and Steinberg)... In fact I've never even owned a USB interface, having moved from PCI (my last was an Echo Gina 3G) to Firewire.  Once I got the right PCIe FW add-on card, it truly has been plug and play -- no jumping through hoops or any tweaks necessary for rock solid performance.

    My next upgrade will be to Thunderbolt, probably in 2-3 years...  Until then, I'll be chugging along worry-free with my "outdated" Firewire units!

    ...I find that the Bandlab version takes longer to open, crashes more often and is generally less tolerant of my "while playing" scooting around the UI on my old win 7 pc than Platinum ever was. I'm trying to embrace the new, but the day I revert back edges ever closer.

    Trying to embrace the new on an "old Win 7" PC is perhaps pushing your luck a bit too far....

    I think it's fair to say that most users are seeing better performance and stability with CWbB over Sonar Plat when running on Win 10 (or even Win 8.1).

  12. Could be one of any number of things... The reboot suggests overheating or maybe malware.

    I see you have a Studio Cat-built system.  I suggest you give Jim Roseberry a call... Maybe he can remote in and figure out what the problem is.

  13. I owned one for about five minutes some years ago, so I can't offer any specific help other than ask if you checked the user manual?

    I just glanced through it and it seems like you need to connect Roland devices using their V-Link protocol that's explained on p.57.

    There might be additional info in the other "related" guides... All available here:

  14. Are you logging in with a dedicated login and password?  Or, authenticating using your Facebook or Google credentials? 

    I had issues trying to use my Google login (Not at this site, another one) but it worked fine once I registered properly for the site.
