96K Sonar

[mr. torture]

Ok, I have Sonar 6 (Producer) A brand spankin' new computer with a duo processor. 320gig HD, 2gig's of ram. XP Pro..

The operating system, and BFD (used as rewire) are the only programs on this computer.

I use MOTU Ultralite running 24 bit 96k.

I tried to record a simple bass line and all I hear is crackling / clipping. It sounds like I am peaking the level, but it's not...It does this at low volumes as well.

I tried to loop the clip and it went all nutty on me, started changing pitch??

I am using MOTU ASIO drivers and have set it to 1024, 24 bit, 96K

I played with the scrubbing tool and heard no static / clipping??

I am new to computer recording, please be gentle

Do you have the required TexasInstruments or Lucent firewire card chipset??
Do you use a secondary drive to record to (96k takes LOTS of bandwidth)??
Did you increase you buffers (you're not going to get away with 128samples with 96k)??

Quite frankly, very few people use 96k unless you're doing classical music with lots of quiet parts. Better to set on 24bit/44.1kHz and forgetaboutit...

I agree, I also find I can once again use MTC to control my Akai sampler.
Thanks!
