Bouncing to track but the audio isn't the same?

[CeasefireXXV]

I'm stumped. I just finished a little classical piece using midi with french horns, piano, cello, and some strings ... and I bounced everything to audio .. and i go to play it back and it's all wrong!

I have some nice long sustaining french horns in the beginning .. and when I bounce it to audio, it plays for like 3 seconds then dies off to nothing ... then picks up later on with another midi note but dies off again , and there are little crackles in the audio where it suddenly decides to die out .. ?????? I'm using Sonar3P and the Kontakt2 library as I just got the program a week ago and I've been all excited about finishing this piece ... but now I can't seem to bounce the midi to audio without the audio being different from how the original midi sounds. And I even tried repeating it over and over. My second try, the audio clip of the french horn sustained for a good 6 seconds instead of 3, but alas, it then dropped off in a different place ... it's like it's struggling to copy the track bit by bit ... i just don't get it ... my comp has a gig of ram, plenty of processing power what with an Athlon64 3000+ ... stumped. I'm totally stumped. Any ideas? please?

I've had weird things happen from time to time, too. Forgive me for asking, but how long since a full reboot? This kind of thing happens to me at work where I care less about the health of a machine than at home. Sometimes I forget to restart for a week or two and suddenly Flash or some other program just starts to puke nonsense. Then it dawns on me to reboot.

well.. actually .. sonar froze up on me earlier today and I had to do a hotboot ... disk checked it and everything checked out A Ok. So i guess my answer is this afternoon. I'll do another restart in the morning and try again but otherwise, I'm still stumped ... thx for the suggestion tho

You say you got kontakt2 a week ago... Have you ever been able to successfully render to audio, or are these your first attempts?

Seems to me I recall that some Sonar users have to disable Fast bounce with kontakt (Or was it enable?). Try the opposite setting than what you have it set at.

my man my man, it seems to have worked! I switched it to offline bounce mode and presto, she sings! at least the one track I tried it on (frenchhorns). i'm sure the rest will follow suit.

thanks a bunch man, really really appreciate it!

back to making music!
