I tried going down to 64, and I noticed I get dropouts once in a while. I 
wonder if the number of audio tracks, or the number of softsynths you use in a 
projects impacts it as well?

  This means that people are finding that a buffer of 128, is a good one to go 
for.  However, I have found that on fast systems, you can easily get that as 
low as 64.

    From posts and responses to various questions that I've read on the 
cakewalk forum, 128 seems to be the average latency, but I'm not sure if you'd 
consider people's responses a valid source to base the conclusion on.

      Great question.  Will have to seek further advice on this one.

        Phil,

        Just for the sake of having it on this list:

        If a person has a high-end system, (single-core about 3.0 gigahertz 
processor and 2 gigs of ram,) or (a duel-core system,) wouldn't the average 
latency buffer size be around 128?

          You will find a comprihensive answer to this on the Sonar FAQ on my 
website.  It's the second question under the:

          Audio Driver Questions

          heading.  Enjoy!

            Hey Jorgan, I really don't know just where they should be set. 256 
128 512 1024? I'm using the wdm drivers.

              Hi!
              did you try that buffer size thing again?
              if not, just take a try and see if it's going to work again.

                I had to re install a bunch of stuff, when I hit the keyboard, 
it takes a little time before I hear any sound with sound fonts, or dimension, 
or any soft synth. I know there's an easy fix, but I just can't remember what 
it is.
                Buffer size? Bit rate? I suppose it's a midi thing, but I just 
don't know. Any help would be appreciated. Oh yes, I can record audio just 
fine, it's just the soft synths that are giving me trouble.
