Dec 12, 2007 11:15 am I am assuming you mean "crashes"?
Dec 12, 2007 11:18 am yeah..do you know why?
Dec 12, 2007 11:22 am It could be too heavy of a project or a bug in the software.
First thing to do is make sure you have all the latest updates to the software, device drivers and operating system.

Dec 12, 2007 11:27 am idno, with that much CPU pushing the program it should be able to handle a heck of alot more than that. I'd be willing to bet it's either background programs running or what came up in a previous post dB, know wha eim sayin?
Dec 12, 2007 11:32 am what program to u guys use?i have nuendo 4 authentic..how i make the updates?should i register on steinberg and download them from there?
Dec 12, 2007 11:37 am I use Sonar from Cakewalk.
Yes, you need to register with Steinberg and download the updates from them, you also need to look for newer versions of drivers for your interfaces and your operating system.

Dec 12, 2007 11:37 am Yeah, that's how it works with most software peeps. I use Cakewalk Sonar 6, dB uses Sonar 6 and Project 5.
I knew a guy back in Kentucky about a couple years ago that had Nuendo, and I've got to say it's just too much DAW from most practical applications. I mean, c'mon... it offers 10.1 surround sound!? Who are we doing sound for, iMax?
Dec 12, 2007 11:40 am Sonar offers advanced surround as well :-)
I agree though, I have played with Nuendo and found it very cool, but WAY too much for my trivial needs.

Dec 12, 2007 11:55 am I'd suggest investigating each one of your plugins. Especially if you're using any free ones.
Try to re-create your crash, and take out suspicious plugins, one at a time, and try your operation again.
Process of elimination may point to a plug-in that doesn't play nice with others.
Or, you could operate with no plugins, then add one at a time and see if it operates smootly.
It may take a little while, but there's no real other way to sniff out buggy plug-ins.
Also, I know you've posted other threads, but what PC, version of windows (or is this Mac, I can't remember)? Do you use this PC for internet? what background services are running? Do you have virus / spyware checked and cleaned?
There's a bunch of possibilities with your PC that may be messing things up. If it's a Mac, then the possibilities are much less.
Dec 12, 2007 01:27 pm yeah..i thoufgt about that..i think its the track plug mono...
Dec 12, 2007 01:35 pm I am still chuckling picturing a computer "crush".
:-)
Dec 12, 2007 01:47 pm hahahaha..sorry but i told u..i dont know english that well
Dec 12, 2007 02:01 pm computer crush:
*the quad core intel desktop looks lovingly at the macbook...*
"hey baby, nice keyboard, wanna interface?"
ok, i'm sorry, that was inappropriate. We were talking about innuendo. Wait...
Dec 12, 2007 02:48 pm yeap...it was the free vst wavearts track plug..dont download it guys!
Dec 12, 2007 02:50 pm noted. thanks.
Note to self: "the free vst wavearts track plug crushes computers"
:-D
OK, I'll leave you alone now. hehehe
Dec 12, 2007 02:54 pm hey db..let me ask you.what plugins you thinks are great?for kick snare..vocals etc..exept waves of course
Dec 12, 2007 02:55 pm except waves...ummmmmm, none.
actually, a few that come bundled with Sonar PE I really dig.

Dec 12, 2007 04:05 pm Scott Stillwell has some new plugs, that he's released as VST plugs. They started off as includes with Reaper, but he's boosted them up to 'normal release' status now, so anyone with VST host can use them.
They've been getting great press on the reaper board, but I've not used them much yet.

Dec 12, 2007 04:57 pm I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet. Are you on XP or Vista. I know you got your problem fixed, but it may help with future questions.
I find the bundled compressor, EQ's, Verb and Delay from Audition all work pretty well. I use Waves for the L2 though.
Edit: Oh and hahaha Kenny, your computer can interface with mine anytime.
Dec 12, 2007 06:15 pm ...
my router will call your router and we'll set something up as long as you're 'virus free'

Dec 12, 2007 07:23 pm on xp of course..vista sucks
Dec 13, 2007 04:52 am is your computer on-line? if so disconnect it before recording, also there are a TON of computer tweaks (on OS software) that can make things run more efficiently inside your computer.
does anyone have a link to those XP tweaks for audio computers?
and yeah, if you keep that computer dedicated for audio production only and never expose it to the net, it will save you MANY MANY MANY troubbles.
and having two hard drives help aswell.
