Conflict between Pro Tools and Cakewalk Sonar
Hi all,
there is a strange thing going on. when I launch a project in Cakewalk Sonar (either "old" version or "new" by Bandlab), the DAW shuts down before I can really do something. Then I have a pop up telling me something about an unforeseen error which caused Cakewalk to shut down. Up to here, you might say I am wrong in this forum. Please see the screenshot, then you'll change your mind. I notice that the causing file is a core file for AVID applications, so I better do not mess around with it. Strange is that I NEVER run ProTools and Cakewalk simultaneously. But they share some plugins (which have, for ProTools, .AAX, and for Cakewalk, .VST). I have contacted of course both Cakewalk support and AVID support, but might not have an answer before Monday evening. I saw there is a thread with complaints that ProTools Ultimate 2018.4 (which I am running without problems) was crashing upon launch. Since this does not seem to be the case with my system, the cause for the issue must be somewhere else. Please, I'd love so much to have both DAWs on one computer. |

Re: Conflict between ProTools and Cakewalk Sonar
Any chance you could post the message in English or tell us what it says?
A WAG (wild assed guess) is see if your iLok s/w is up to date. A couple of questions: can you open a Sonar session right after booting up the computer? IOW before you open a PT session? Are you running in Admin mode? |

Re: Conflict between ProTools and Cakewalk Sonar
Ok first: If I run Sonar in Admin mode, there is no issue. And I started the project right after booting.
But see what happened after updatin iLok app. The iLok application needed an update. I will do that, but I have to reboot after uninstalling the old version. After installing the current iLok app, and rebooting again, I tried to open the Cakewalk project as I usually did - not as admin. Cakewalk crashed, with the same Pro Tools CFnd.dll as cause for the crash. The main thing in the screenshot I had already explained. After telling me that a severe error had occcurred that caused Cakewalk to shut down, the message is telling me where the mini dump file had been saved to. The question in the end is, if the last status of the project should be saved. OK I'll reboot now to have the new iLok app installed. Now I will try again to run Cakewalk as admin, to see what will happen now. Yes, I'll have to run it as admin, it seems. Not I will cross-check what the Cakewalk people answer in their forum. But thanks a lot, at least I can continue my project. Great! Last edited by Wire57; 07-07-2018 at 02:24 PM. |

As far as the error message you got unless it's in English there's a lot of us who might be able to help but can't because of the language barrier. There may be little things that get messed up in translation. |

Re: Conflict between Pro Tools and Cakewalk Sonar
How could I change the language of that pop up? I am happy that my version of Cakewalk is with "German language skin".
At Cakewalk forums they reported the error is not unknown, it happens also to users of Cubase. Weird: One suspect is Apples Quicktime for Windows. I tried out by deinstalling all Apple related components from my PC, but after reboot the thing happened again after "default launch" of the project. The crash took a little more time to occur. Well, I had sent in the mini dumps to both Cakewalk and AVID support and wait what they might say about it. Of course I shall report here. Thankx for your patience and interest. |

Re: Conflict between Pro Tools and Cakewalk Sonar
I don't think anyone is asking you to change the language of the pop-up. It would just be helpful if you provided a rough translation so the non-German speakers can understand what the error message means. All I can discern is that you are getting an error message that references CFnd.dll.
Is it saying that it can't find CFnd.dll? If so, can you check the PATH statement in the Windows Environment Variables? Maybe something changed there? |

Re: Conflict between Pro Tools and Cakewalk Sonar
Also, sorry if this was already mentioned, but have you confirmed that the file is actually located in the path that the error message provides? Do the dates for the file indicate that it was changed recently? Maybe there is a version conflict regarding this file.

Re: Conflict between Pro Tools and Cakewalk Sonar
Ok I'll try to translate that pop up as close as possible. Sorry I do not remember all the informatics terminology.
A fatal error has occurred. Module: C:\Program files\Avid\Pro Tools\CFnd.dll A mini dump file for the crash has been created at location: C:\Users\Werner\App Data\Roaming\Cakewalk\SONAR\.... Exception code: c0000005 Address: OOOOOOOOOB 675 F 5 A: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:0000000000000065 [Note: I am not sure about the O and the 0 here.] For this reason SONAR is being terminated untimely. Shall SONAR try to save a backup file of your work? Yes I found the mini dump exactly where located by the script. In the given folder there are about a dozen (!) recent mini dump files. |

Re: Conflict between Pro Tools and Cakewalk Sonar
I just received an analysis of some MINIDUMPS from a developer at Cakewalk.
Here is his result and a suggestion how to solve this. Quote:
I deleted the older one and first tried to open ProTools, and a session there. No problem encountered. Now I opened Cakewalk, NOZ as admin, - - - NO PROBLEMS ANYMORE! Yay! But I shall watch this.... Last edited by Wire57; 07-10-2018 at 11:06 AM. |
