Sonar 7.2 Recently I am unable to view the synth rack regardless of what project I open. I cannot find it hiding on the edge of the screen--not sure what happened. All the other views pop up when I hit their icon or shortcut keys but neither works when summoning the synth view. Any ideas? Thanks again, Jeff
I found a workaround--views>show open view tabs ---this puts a tab and you can access the synth rack in track view at the bottom something's funny in my DAW. Fatal errors several times tonight. I haven't added any software and my DAW is not online..hmmmmm..... FWIW I'm starting to work with more people (once again) using mac/protools.

How old is your OS hard drive? It might be getting some bad sectors from wear 'n' tear old age. chkdsk C: /F and look at the results in the DOS box. http://sightsea.com/renders/chkdsk.jpg If more than ZERO then run chkdsk C: /R and it will move any data out of the bad and mark them as "do not use these" .... but then get an other OS drive asap.

DOH sorry ... you won't be able to see the results in the DOS box becase you can't run it on C: in windows. Maybe in even viewer Maybe some one can tell you where the results can be seen after the fact, if not in event wiever.

You ought to have a look at Reaper dood! Lotsa Pro Tools converts over there on their web forum. It runs on PCs and Macs too, besides being way efficient. The song I just put up has 32 tracks and 56 FX, most of heavy weight stuff like Vintage Warmers out the wazoo, numerous softsynths, and my PC was still only hitting around 35% CPU use. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms
Jeff -- I know your frustration well. But before you go that very expensive route... I recall you've looked at Reaper... have you given it serious consideration? Reaper is a 30-day trial BUT the program is always fully functional. That's the only reason I have a license today. My time was/is limited, so when I decided to examine Reaper I could not evaluate it properly in 30 calendar days. It took me the better part of a year to learn it well enough to know I could use it, and I licensed my copy. I can't speak for the Reaper folks, of course, but I can't see how they'd mind you working with the program long enough to know if you can use it, as I did. Since you'd not be using the program to produce income or other viable work without paying for the license, it's in their best interest to allow you whatever time you need. If they were truly concerned about holding people to a 30 calendar day trial they would make it a LOT harder for the average Joe to run the program past the trial period by forcing them to use cracks etc. I'm not a spokesperson for Reaper and I'm not suggesting I think Reaper *will* work for you. But it costs you nothing (except your time) to check it out. Macs, protools etc. are all possibilities too -- and a lot more expensive to 'try'. Yes that's working out well for a number of people, but so is Sonar, Reaper, Nuendo, Samplitude, Cubase... Just my $0.02 USD. -- Sue Morton "jeffl" <> wrote in message news:hvcjtt$hvr$-september.org... > I found a workaround--views>show open view tabs ---this puts a tab > and you can access the synth rack in track view at the bottom > something's funny in my DAW.

IIRC it gives a warning about possible inaccuracies but may give you an idea; then you do chkdsk/f and press Y when it asks you if you want it to run on reboot.
Has this been answered yet? What happens when you click "enable tabs for open views" under the Views menu?
