Thank you very much!  I’m going to let my local dealer try first on Wednesday 
morning.  If that doesn’t work, I will definitely ask for your assistance.  
I’ll leave everything alone until then.
Bob.

Well if you have skype and jaws tandom capabilities, I can definitely  help in 
this area, work on geting sonar up and running, and also on optimizing your 
system to make it  a better daw. If you're interested let me know!

D!J!X!

Hi D.J.X.  Sorry, I really don’t have a clue.  I went from using an analog 
4-track recorder for home demos to Sonar back in 2006.  Although I understand 
Sonar and the basics of Windows, I have not yet learned about the guts of a PC 
although I probably should in the near future.  What I will probably do is 
locate an expert on Sonar and Del systems near me to make a house call, rip the 
system to pieces and start over.
Bob.

OK, a few questions, a bit technical, but necessary to help you troubleshoot:
I'd imagine that your daw is using the x58 chipset?
If not, is it using p55? (do you know?) (I hope they're not using anything in 
the h series).
Do you know exactly what processor, 800 series or 900? (This helps figure your 
possible board chipset.)
Do you know what motherboard brand dell has put in your system? (They don't 
always manufacturer them, they just brand them with the dell name but they're 
really made by a third party board manufacturer.)
What firewire chipset are you using?
Have you tried using legacy firewire drivers for your card instead of the 
standard windows 7 one? (Focusrite hasn't fully developed firewire drivers to 
work with the new windows7 firewire drivers on x64 systems.)
Depending on what info you can give me I can perhaps help you better. If you'd 
like, feel free to write me privately at djx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, as to not clutter 
the list with useless technical chatter on this part of the thread.

Regards, D!J!X!

Hi.  I don’t have a specific question at this time.  I just want to rant for a 
moment.

    Del Optiplex, I7 processor with several cores, 8 gigs of ram, Windows 7 Pro 
64, new Focusrite Saffire 14 with Phil’s working hot spots, Sonar 8.5.3 with 
Cake Talking patched all the way up to the latest and I still get errors, 
latency problems with soft synthes and over all slow performance.  WTF?  I have 
spent more time mucking with this new system than I have enjoying it.  At least 
the new sound card/rack mount sounds great through the stereo.  Things may 
improve once I figure out how the route channels and mixes with the hot spots.  
I truly appreciate all the work that so many people have done to make Sonar 64 
and Cake Talking the best that it can be.  I must be doing something wrong in 
Windows 7, Saffire Mix Control or somewhere else.

    Any ideas are welcome.
Bob.
