I Got Omni-Studio...nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah..

I got it! I got Omni Studio........alright fella's, can one use Cakewalk-9 and this awesome package together w/o too many problemos?

It looks like Omni-Studio has its own software for recording.

My most recent problem with Cakewalk was infrequent dropouts. 8-audio tracks later and various sound effects, ( DBX, Ultra-Funk), and now the dreaded 'latency'. ( At the very least that's what I think is causing the drop-outs).

I don't like playing with the latency slider, I think default should be good enough. I am assuming that the Delta-66 card should solve the latency problem.....I believe my problem is the ESS-Solo 1 card my PC came with.

Anyone out there have any pointers they can share? Recording MIDI is never a problem. Audio tracks seem to be the problem. Anything over 6-audio tracks and drop-outs begin to show up. (But only once or twice max during playback).

Cakewalk can certainly be used with the Omni.


And no, default settings for latency are usually not ideal. Go on, play with the slider! And the Omni may cure your latency but it probably won't, it depends on what you are doing. Can you please describe your system op/sys, RAM.


At one time my system had drop outs unless the slider was on max settings for speed and set to 2048 buffers!. And then I put 760 Meg of Ram in and then it calmed down so I was able to have a lower speed. Now it works fine with 16 buffers and 75% towards the fastest setting.

Other people on this forum have omni and I will leave it to them to respond to your other points.

I just got an OMNI and it's been HELL to get it optimized. It's such a crybaby. Finally got the poppping to calm down on SONAR, but still the quality of the audio(.wav) files are kinda distorted.

Make sure your audio quality is clean. It's easy to overlook distortion. Turn up the volume a bit more and make sure it's clean.
