Sorry to keep bugging all of you about this, but I've been testing a
few other things over here this evening, trying to solve this
mysterious issue.
First of all:
I have now realized that this is not specific to the Dimension L E,
and also occurs with Rapture L E and Pentagon, if I switch the MIDI
track's output over to those. Oddly enough, it does not occur with
the Cakewalk TTS. I haven't tried others besides those, but Session
Drummer doesn't appear to have this delayed thing going on, either.
Phil replied: you could be experiencing a slight delay due to latency
issues. If your latency is set too high then, when you play a note on your
keyboard, it will take a while for that to trigger.
Tina wrote: Secondly, I have now experimented with setting the number of
count in
measures during recording, under Options, Project, metronome tab.
I've determined that if I have it set to count in two measures, the
delay changes by a factor of two, now to four measures in as an
offset, where it starts playing from its beginning.
If I have it set to zero measures count in, then everything that was
delayed now nicely starts right up at the same exact time as all the
rest of the tracks. This might make it a tad bit awkward to record
without a count-in, but heck, at least I know everything'll start out
in sync together like that.
Phil replied: one of the annoying things for me in CT is that it insists in
messing around with Sonar's default settings. Meaning that, the measure
setting in Sonar is usually set to 0 but, when you install CT, this is
altered to 1. Having the setting set to 0 makes sense as when using
softsynthes, you can sometimes experience latency issues which as you
described , are delays.
Tina wrote: So, is this strange or what?
Phil replied: no, it's not strange at all. I do a lot of audio work and
therefore, deliberately got rid of that 1 measure count in. In other words,
I hit record then use the first measure in a project as a count in. This is
better anyway, as it means that you aren't recording audio right at the
start of the project.
Tina wrote: Should I think about reinstalling Sonar altogether, or just the
plug-ins, or is there some timing setting that I should look at
further over here?
Phil replied: no, don't bother. Sonar and it's softsynthes are working as
advertised.
Tina wrote: Thank you for all of your helpful suggestions thus far. As
complex a
program as Sonar can be, I'm pleasantly surprised how much stuff I've
managed to figure out so far, with many many thanks to the excellent
help files and tutorials that accompany CakeTalking!
Phil replied: no problem! Always glad to help out if I can!
