[ddots-l] Re: Sound canr or Ram

Steve,

 

I've used the FastTrack, and it is a stable audio interface.

 

If your computer is not fast enough, you will need to increase the
latency buffer. The latency buffer is an area of memory where sound data
is queued up between Sonar and your audio interface. If you have a slow
computer, or are running many instruments, the computer isn't always
able to pump out audio data fast enough to keep up the flow of audio
data to your audio interface.

 

In Sonar, open the options menu, select audio, and press the ASIO panel
button. You'll need sighted assistance to change the buffer size, as
this display isn't accessible on the FastTrack's software. Increase the
buffer size, close the window, and try to play audio in Sonar again.
Keep increasing the buffer until you no longer hear pops and crackels.

 

If the buffer is increased too far, there will be a long lag between
when you play an instrument, and when you hear the audio come through
your audio interface's outputs.

 

If you wish to run with lower latency, you'll need a faster computer.

 

What type of CPU do you have? How fast is it? Is it single, dual, or
quad core?

Hi All,

 

My Name is Steve W, Just joined the group Yesterday.

 

I've always used hardware equipment and painstakingly memorised all the
screens and counted the cursor (4 across 6 down) all that crazy stuff. 

 

6 Weeks ago I started using Sonar with Caketalking, 

It's fantastic having this kind of access.

 

I just have one little question: 

I use sometimes ten or more applications on my projects, I've been using
Dimension Pro as the Samples are mostly very good, especially once
you've pitched some of them correctly.

I only have the peak meters on and the CPU Conservation mode is on yet,
I'm still having the samples break up.

 

Is this due to me only having 3GB of Ram or is it my USB M-Audio Sound
Card.

 

Thanks in Advance

 

Steve W
