I make simple melodity with Sonar Homestudio 6 xl and Albino3 when i reload project Albino crashes. (also sonar...) and i get error like this:

[Jarp2600]

You got the legal versions of both?

[JPQ]

You got the legal versions of both?

Yes. I purchase blue and get albino free. ps. hate pritated software/music etc.

[Jarp2600]

Try to reïnstall both then!

[JPQ]

i tired this with Albino but now going reinstall sonar.

ps. i hope when i reinstall sonar one problem is dont reappear.

[JPQ]

Now i installed sonar without remoing older installation first this dont solve this some times this type operations are enough.

One of the Reasons I ditched software...its too Volatile and unpredictable,and you spend so much time trying to keep your machine up to date,just to run a single program,or you add something new and it screws up something else.

There's something gratifying with Hardware that you can switch it on time and time again and play without fear of crashes or freezes or constant driver upgrades.

Saddly hardware is too pircey to me and most of new synths sounds very poor or at least very boring.

[Equinoxe]

most of new synths sounds very poor or at least very boring.

Romplers perhaps,but Depends which ones you get,I've grown bored of most Romplers of late but There are some superb hardware real analog synths around at the moment,things like the Alesis Andromeda, Moog Voyager/Phatty,DSI Prophet 08, or for weirdness and new ways of using sounds something like the Roland V synth,or Virus TI,ok there not cheap but they will outlast most if not all software and perhaps less frustrating to get working.

It doesnt have to be expensive owning a set of decent hardware synths,there are also some great secondhand synths too,you can pick up some real bargrains in the older generation of VA hardware,things Like the Novation Supernova's or KS Series,Korg MS2000,Roland JP8XX0 any of the older Nord leads,Korg Microkorg to name a few.

Each to their own,but give me a room full of hardware synths anyday of the week,and the exact problems you've been having is partly the reason why I stuck two fingers up to software and vowed never to grace my computer with so much as a software sequencer program again.

Yes there is a bunch of VA's. You can get some of them for almost nothing. Equinoxe mentioned some of them. If that is still too digital to you, you'll have to look out for some analogue gear. No software will do better. It's just a matter of getting some decent gear, no matter if it's soft- or hardware. Programming skills is also a part of it.
We sometimes force our ear to choose what to hear, so as long as you are very picky, every non-analogue will sound digital

In finland some nice synths are over pricey becouse cultstatus like roland jp8000,roland sh101,roland junos. but of course i buy also hardware if something nice comes but still there is room size problem even i have more money... and problem currently i think is not albino or sonar.i know sound programming is part of electronic music making.
ps. in my budjet currently 1000e is huge amount money and in hardware there is no good source acoustic instruments (in older rolands have awful flutes etc,yamaha motif have crap strings etc and overall i dont like motif sound when compared roland or for example in software something like ik multimedia total workstation 2) this means even for acoustic instruments in hardware i need at least two synths i think. and my neck dont like rack synths.
