I've been using Sonar Producer X1 with a Steinberg UR44 on my Windows 7 64-bit PC, for over a year for doing acoustic demos, etc. It works great and I haven't had to touch the "Record Latency Adjust" setting for a long long time.
This weekend, I'm tracking my full band (5 piece, with drums) so borrowed Mackie ONYX 1620 with a firewire card installed so I can have a few more inputs. I was puting the new setup through its paces yesterday and was discovered my overdubbed parts were way out of time. I had been letting Sonar adjust automatically but did a test with a metronome track looped back in and discovered to get the new tracks to sync with the old tracks I had to use a manual offset of over 2300 samples.
I'm using ASIO driver with the driver buffer set for 512. If it matters, the File System for playback and record I/O buffer size are both 256KB.
This seems crazy to me to have to have 2300 samples worth of latency adjustement. What worse, is that if there are more tracks playing, it actually changes. No pluggins yet, just playing back dry tracks.
I guess it won't matter for tracking, but can't see how this is a workable situation for overdubs.
Is there anythign I could be doing wrong with the Firewire settings or something on the ONYX?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...
