Greg, you could up the buffer size a bit with your WDM drivers. Are you using a single or, core duo and above system?

Phil i don't see latency, just buffer size, I've been having some trouble too. I'm using the wdm drivers, should I use asio instead?
I'm using the old 2408 Motu sound card.
Im also getting that, error that says, can not open audio engine, that was supposed to be fixed, when I installed that patch, that bumped me up to sonar version 7.3, but it seems like that problem occurs even more often now. Any thoughts on that?

You just need to increase your latency slider for audio. That's in the "audio options" dialog box.

Subject: [ddots-l] Audio dropouts while using soft synths.


Looks like I have another question. When using soft synths, specifically Session Drummer 2, when I record and then go to play back, I'll sometimes get dropouts. Sonar's help says you can get audio dropouts with midi playback but the section on dropouts doesn't cover that. They also fail to tell you where it is covered. I've got an Amd dual core, forget the exact speed but fairly fast, and 2 GB of ram, so I don't think I should be running into performance limits, especially since this is currently the only track in the entire project. Thoughts on what I can do to solve this?
