audio settings for sonar 4

[bramsaur]

friends,
I am having some issues with my audio settings. this is what I have so far.
Asio4all v2.9 latency compensation 16 samples, buffer size 768, sample rate 44,100
using M-audio firewire 410 audio interface
pc op sys windows xp, amd athlon 64 3000+ 2 gb of ram

Problems: Lowering the buffer size results in skipping in tracks, freezing of recording
Have turned off nortons during recording so no crackling now.

I am still having issues with it freezing and overruns in recording.

would appreciate any recommendations that might correct my problem

well there is a guide here about pc optimization, you'll want virtually nothing running other than your DAW software when tracking and mixing etc. the main thing you can do is go and set your display settings to minimum priority and audio to high priority, make sure that in task manager you have every process that is arbitrary stopped while running your audio. this should help you out because it sounds like you have a respectable amount of horsepower.

I'm curious why you are using ASIO4ALL and not the ASIO driver that comes with the 410.
