Pathfinder

It's not about WANTING to spend that money, but my present monitors are like $1,200 now, so I don't want to go backwards. I think for me the difference is i PLAY an awful lot n my little studio-My whole system goes thru a mixer so I can really play like I am out live somewhere-so I need\want that big sound in the room. Also my Mackies are 15 years old now-jeezz. Sound fine but................... Stay Well

I appreciate the input-I am no sound engineer that's for sure- It's NOT that I WANT to spend that much, but at this stage in my life and I do have the $$$-It will certainly be the last monitors I ever buy. I have MAckie HR624 mkII's right now . They have a 6.7" LF. I never needed a bass with these either. I m kind of , well, ill and spend 99% of my time in my little 2nd bedroom studio. I am looking at the Adams 7V 7's and Barefoot footprint3's also. I use an uplift adjustable studio desk-best investment a few years ago-sit or stand. I worry about the weight sometimes but the mackies weigh 23lbs each....So I am using that as my limit but it probably isn't..Thanks again

Hi I know these are expensive but........My room is treated ok, not perfect, but ok. It's only 10 X 12' with 8' ceiling. I like to PLAY in this room not just mix and master (which I do also of course.) Been using Mackie 624HR mkII's (LF speaker is 6.7") for around 15 years now-yep-they are still going. At this stage in my life I wanted to treat myself to better monitors. I read such great reviews of the K150's. Anyone have any experience with these? I also looked very close at the Adams 7V 7's........... ??? Thanks

OK Thanks-Sorry-Didn't see this until today!

Do we have access? Id f so How? Thanks I have my excel spreadsheet with serials and reg info-but where can I see this on the sonar site?

SOLVED: I tried many times to jus t remove the pro channel module from Pro Channel and re-save project, that never worked. So I found the location of the PC2An and deleted it. Reopened the project, got the same resource error. But this time when I removed the module from Pro Channel and resaved it WORKED...... FIRST, I am not blaming Sonar for this but just saying I do NOT know how to fix it. so all od a sudden on a project that I open often I get a recourse error about corrupt or missing PC2 amp leverer. So I go forward and REMOVE the module from pro channel. Immediately crashes? Not the dead crash I can exit the project and rep-open that project or any other. If I inadvertently did something (which I do NOT believe I did) OK, but how do I fix it? ****I also PAID for EVERY Pro Channel plug in sold when they were doing that. Have my serials and registration etc. Never happened before today? Certainly has nothing to do with my Focusrite driver issue just solved

Hi Noel Eb verything is working great... I have always had Sonar Platinum installed on all my PC builds and it works fine also. Focusrite were attentive and the driver update that was automatics for the 1i20 4th gen that I did on the day this started was the latest. They ahd to hurry and issue a fix because many were experiencing the exact same thing in numerous different daws. Just came out yesterday. When I called, on your advice, they immediately knew the issue and told me to download the new drivers. All works fine now Thanks very much for your help. Also the forum and Jonathan S. Much appreciated Frank

Definitely was Focusrite. They put out new drivers yesterday. Talked to support nd got it all straightened out. Thanks Noel, Jonathan and the forum for tolerating this old combat vet-Truly an over whelming experience for me. Being as sick as I am, my music was relly all I could do until things get better. And they will 🙂

Just opened 10+ projects in a row wo ith Roland octa capture. For the last 3 days I couldn't open more than one and freeze. So Noel guess I have to believe is correct. I always like the Octacapture- NOW for my phone call to Focusrite support Thanks

I will-. Still want to try the Roland since it will only take 20 minutes to set it up....Ig th Octa Capture works then I really have good eveidence for Focusrite when I can ll them Thanks again Frank

I am removing all focusrite things and will try my Roland octa capture which was fine on win 10 and Roland says fine for win 11. Guess we will see. Obviously if this works, it is focusrite. I have said all along that the only changes before this started PERIOD-were 1. upgrade from win 10 pro to Win 11 Pro , which was done thru the microsoft site 2. Focusrite 4th Gen 18i20 driver and FW updates. That's it. Before that everything was perfect............

Well NOel, I do appreciate you looking at the file. I am sure you realize that Sittin on the doc file has nothing to with this because it has happened with all of the projects. That project just happened to be in the dump file I sent. There is NOTHING else using Focusrite. I was under the impression a dump file would disclose the issue? Evidently. Also, I removed all instance of the 4th Gen 18i20 using focusrite documentation. I then re installed my 3rd Gen 18i20-completely different FW and drivers. Same thing happened. I do not use or have installed\connected any other device that would be looking for asio drivers. I don't understand dump files obviously. The issue is here and it is not going away...................Guess that's it for me. Thanks again Noel and thanks to the fellow sonarites who tried to help

Yes your right-uninstalling is useless, not to mention that besides running sfc 2X I also did the repair install win 11 offers. Prtetty cool actually. I did disable core parking as everyone suggest and after the repair install it was v back on so I know that worked Thanks Jeremy-sound advice Johnathan Sasor has the dump file so we'll see

I have decided that win 11 MUST have something to do with it. Win 11 upgrade to pro from win 10 pro+new FW update for 4th Gen focusrite 18i20 and installing MS Home and Business office were the ONLY CHANGES made to my PC before this started. But I still have my 3rd gen 18i20 and it did the SAME THING-so it's NOT focusrite, as far as I can tell. There ae many horror storys about Win 11 recent updates wiping out some nvme.2's but thats not my issue. I also found the updates and removed them, which is a good feature of win 11. I have not hear back from CW about this since I shared the dump file. So I am going give Sonar one more try by wiping my OS drive and re installing win 10 pro. If all is well I will use my NEW Asus gaming laptop to go on the internet. I bought the gaming one because I wanted the power, I turned off the Light crap and garbage. My PC will ONLY be on the internet for Sonar and al daw related vsts-updates. 95% of my VSTS (that Iuse) are Izotope. I hate to so this since everything was so smooth before August 25th, the day I upgraded. Even though the windows.old folder is present and untouched win 11 is telling me I must have deleted other files it needs to go back????Can't go back because windows which doesn't really make sense because I have not deleted ANYTHING but the august 25th update that was rep[orted to cause the data loss I spoke of above. But I still will ONLY USE the FREE SONAR because their is still a chance it is Sonar.

I believe that Jonathan Sasor has the dump file now. Fingers crossed. He has contacted me more than once about it. Had to share it with him today. I thought I did that but evidently I didn't because he emailed me saying he needed access. . Duh.....On Me!
