Ok, Peter and everybody I'm beginning to get really pissed. The program is becoming almost unusable. Something else I talked about during the beta testing is too many access violations. It happens when I've been using the program steady for maybe a half hour or more. It just did it again, simply playing a midi file. About a third of the way through the song, no generating tracks, no styles, no changing midi in/out, none of that. Simply opening one of my regular midi files and hitting play, bam an access violation. Whats weird is the song continues playing with the violation window in the middle of everything. I clicked it off, the music stops. Then I can resume play and it played to the end with no further violations. I took the tune back to the beginning and this time I get the violation as soon as the music starts. It's no use to try to continue working, just close and reopen. Any ideas what this is all about?

All I can say is this kind of thing is getting old. I really thought it was my old machine that I had for about 6 years and used, abused, done all kinds of crap with. So fine, maybe some weird conflicts going on but nooo, I have my new box now and it's the same crap, different color. RB is not exactly buggy and useless but it has way too many of these random things going on. Mac mentioned it too in another thread, he has to close it down and reopen regularly as well. You may remember I was talking last year about strange things happening in the piano roll window when I do a bunch of edits. It's fine for again about a half hour or so but then I can click on a note to edit and it suddenly jumps 15 or 20 bars ahead. Or, what it just did for the very first time (drum roll please) I clicked on a note in the top window and the bottom window jumped. I don't know where it jumped to because I wasn't focused on it. That's the same thing it was doing with my old PC but of course, only occasionally not often enough to post a bug report. I know I can dig up more of these strange and not immediately reproducible things if I think about it.

I really love this program but sometimes I feel it's still not ready for prime time and I guess this is as good a place as any for my yearly rant:

Where's the VST tempo lock fix so I don't have to open Sonar to use Jamstix??
