Here middle in the night with: Winkey+D Sonar Articulation.mp4

@Promidi Excuse me, but does this also happen in Sonar's floating window mode (when PRV is in floating mode)?

So, is it like mine (only rarely now), Windows 10/11 doesn't identify a program crash. If it's actually stuck, it says "Crash" or something like that... What about installing CbB and try whats happening? Are you sure "Asio4All" is not installed on your machine? "When a DAW crashes without a Windows error message, it's often due to plugin conflicts, outdated software, or system resource issues. A common culprit is a faulty plugin causing an "access violation" or other memory issues. Troubleshooting steps include updating software and drivers, testing plugins one by one, and checking system logs for clues. "

Have you tried a Save mode start in CbL or Sonar? I guess you are on Sonar? Save Mode start --> press shift while open the project and accept only one VST3 instrument. I haven't really figured out what's going on yet, but I've made some progress. I don't think it's impossible that there's a conflict between VST2 and VST3 plugins. (Hence the reference to the bypass in Synthrack.) Have you tried loading only VST3 plugins and excluding all VST2 plugins? SynthRack is unstable for me. Sometimes I just have to touch something with the MIDI controller and the DAW starts complaining. What's behind the Cakewalk? I can't read it—not even with Windows Magnifying Glass. Also, check out this option :

Hey Mauro -I wouldn't recommend that under any circumstances. There's surely a solution to the problem... It's so much work to reinstall, register, and log in all the plugins. Does Sonar only start "freezing" when you press the Start button? I've also been able to achieve positive results by using the "Bypass all synths" settings in SynthRack. But are you even getting to the point where you can access SynthRack? I've had projects that worked perfectly in CbB, but caused problems in Sonar. (here, Nvidea Quattro P2000)

Thx fot inspiration - this way it works for me, great! 😁 Sonar bring up browser notes at startup.mp4

This might sound like a joke...Have you ever tried pressing "show desktop" once or twice in the bottom right corner of the Windows taskbar? That gave me access to Sonar again and I didn't have to close it with the Task Manager.

Have you tried the "Show Desktop" function in the Windows taskbar (at the bottom right)? Just toggle it back and forth two or three times. That way, I was able to outsmart the Sonar hang sometimes and came back into the program without taskmanager shutdown.

Hello...? Is there a trick that will make Sonar open the project notes (Project Information --> Notes - Sonar Browser) at the same time as the project? Maybe I just don't know how. Why do I want that? Often, it's helpful to immediately receive certain information (warnings/special features) when opening a project that I didn't think about or had forgotten about...

Have you checked what the Windows Task Manager shows about Sonar? Is it a crash (which is displayed as such) or is the program there without an error message? I'm asking because I've experienced Sonar "hanging" in the past, but it wasn't reported as a crash in the Task Manager. That would definitely indicate graphics problems related to Sonar. This picture was made when Sonar hung, but there is no error reported by windows. When Sonar really crashes, you usually see an error message here as well.

As I mentioned in my post above, this one is not half as comfortable like the global- funktion in MenuBar. If you have 20 MIDI Tracks it takes about 20 secounds to turn them all on or off. For my workflow, it wouldn't be important to activate them all, only to deactivate them. I work with "no echo on when track is activated" ( --> preferences) and for large projects, it would be great if I didn't always have to check which echo is currently activated. It would be senceful if I could simply turn all echoes off using one-hit shortcut. Thats the reason why I'm asking for...

@Promidi - It was some time ago, and I can't remember exactly, but there were a few assignments that were only accessible via the Shortcut Editor and didn't appear in the shortcut list... It could have been there (?). I don't really understand why "Echo global on/off" wasn't linked to a shortcut (like Mute or Solo), but there must have been a reason... For example, show/hide Pro Channel (Ctrl+I) – you can't find the Pro command in the search, either in Global or in the Track View. It's only listed as an Assignment in the text area below. (see picture) and this of course means that you can't assign any other shortcut to the command Ctrl+I...

Hi there, Is there a shortcut for this function (all echoes off - globaly) in the control bar (see photo)? I don't think so, but I might be mistaken... There is an echo shortcut for "all selected echoes on/off", but that's a slightly different function and takes about 1 second per echo to turn it on or off. This one is very fast and happens immidiately for all echoes in the actual project. Hm, there are also shortcuts for global solo and global mute, which work directly for all buttons...

Ahhh, I remember this scene, this happend when Chus Chandler destroyed Jimi Hendrix...
