You can check the level coming in on the input gain in Sonar by reading the
metres in Sonar. That's how you check the level on the gain. You can go as
high as minus 0.1DB. If you get a reading of 0 or above then, your into
digital clipping.

Phil, I'm currently reading your document FW1884 For Dummies. Oh yea. I
feel like a dummy. Ha ha! Anyway, I'm curious about something; how do you
know what level the input gain is since there are no marks or no way to tell by
feeling the nob how high or low the level is. If you turn the input gain down
how do you know if you've turned it down too low. Thanks.

Aah, so it's a hardware issue. Meaning that it's possible to run the
FW-1884 outside of Sonar as a stand-alone mixer. that would explain why the
issue is not just occurring inside Sonar.

Yes to both questions (though it's been a while since I read that
document. Guess I'd better read it again. This is why I don't like e-mailing
to this list much because it seems like I get more questions than answers. I
mean I've been trying all day long to figure out why I can't get my project to
play as well as the cause of the feedback, and everybody seems to be stuck on
the feedback issue. I'm not denying how important that is; it's important, but
so is the other problem. And as I mentioned earlier both problems occured at
the same time. Besides, is it normal for the microphone to be on when you
first load sonar (especially when no tracks are armed?) Also, I've noticed
that even when I'm not in Sonar if the speakers are on, the feedback is there.
Whatever I did, I sure did a good job of it unfortunately. I just wish there
was an easy solution for fixing both problems.

Have you tried turning the gain down for the channel on the FW-1884.
Also, have you read the excellent document which is packed full of information
on how to use the FW-1884 on my website that Sean Cummins and Herman Ferman
helpped me put together?
Here's the URL for it:

Okay. I turned the mic another direction, got back into Sonar,
turned the speakers on, and guess what! Still getting the feedback, and I'm
still looking for a solution to not being able to play my rpojects. Besides
that, the feedback problem didn't occur until the other problem occured so I'm
thinking the two problems are one. Mike mentioned in an earlier e-mail that
this might be a Sonar bug. Well, I think he's right cause this is sure bugging
me. ha ha! Trying to keep a positive attitude about this.
God bless you.

Yes. point your microphone the other direction, or disconnect it.
If you don't understand that feedback is caused by the output going direct back
into the input and then coming out of the output and going back in the input
and then out the output and then back in the input and then out the out and in
the in and out and in and out and in... etc. etc. etc. -- then you're violating
a very basic concept of audio. You're generating feedback.

Okay! I get that, but I still don't have an answer for why all
of a sudden I can't get anything to play, and there's feedback when I turn on
the spekars. Up until now, I haven't had that problem. Until the last few
days I've been able to load projects, play, and record without the feedback.
Now, this is a new thing that has happened, and it's really got me confused.
Also, should I try to turn the mic another direction? Would that solve the
feedback problem? Like I said, this is a new problem that has just occured
very recently.
God bless you, Dave.

That's your problem. It's called feedback.

I wish I had read all my e-mails before replying to the last
one; that way I could have answered both questions at once, but yes; the
microphone is facing the speaker.

The mic is right behind my keyboard and pretty close to
my left speaker.

You said that the mike is on, right?
Is it close to one of your monitors?
Is there any chance that this is just a plain old
feebback loop?

Tried double L, triple a, and even control tripple a,
but to no avail; the same darned thing, and yes; the feedback is constant.
Don't know what the heck is going on, but it's really bugging me. I can't play
(and certainly can't record,) and it's frustrating. Thanks for your sugestions
anyway. Wish they would have worked.
God bless you, Mike.

Is the sound you're hearing constant?
If it is, you might have an old Sonar bug rearing
its head!
This is looping being turned on by default...
Just hit L twice quickly.
If it ain't that, then I can't be sure?
Try hitting A 3 times quickly, this'll disarm all
the trax...

Hi, all.
I have a problem that I'm not sure if I
caused it or not; When I load a project in Sonar and try to get it to play, it
won't. Instead, what I get is feedback from my speakers, and the microphone is
turned on, which is weird because when I first load the project I don't have
any tracks armed. Also, when I try to read the status bar, I get nothing. I
don't know what's going on, but if anyone can help me, I would greatly
appreciate it. Thanks in advance, and God bless you.
Bobby Lusk.
