cominginsecond,
Your results are consistent with what Slack and myself found. This confirms the problem on yet another system. Thank you.

WDM Offset Problem Fixed

I just tried out Midiman's new beta driver. I am happy to say that the track offset problem is resolved in this driver. Midiman say they will be posting the driver on their site shortly.

I tried the 1010 and did side-by-side with the Aardvark Q10. The Q10 whipped the 1010's ass. Aardvarks A-WDM drivers are FAR tighter and faster. I regularly run numerous DXi's, 24+ trcks of analog, and 4 and 5 plug ins at 2ms latency setting for Sonar 2XL and have no probs. Also, the Q10 has 8 decent mic pre's, a very simple interface router, and covers just about any I/O option you could want.

BTW, ignore the BS on the aardvark site about them recommending against using MOBO's with VIA chipsets, that is crap. Works great, and the guy from Aardvark who emailed me about it said he uses VIA himself, lol.

System:
XP1700+ CPU
ABIT KR7A-RAID MOBO
Dual Maxtor ATA133 40GB HDD's (1 dedicated audio)
512 Mushkin 2-2-2 pro, single stick (avoid using multiple sticks to build memory when possible--memory timing can be funky)


All i can say is, if you are feeling weird about your interface, go Aardvark.

Also note, the Q10 uses the Aardvark clock mechanism, the thing that they are mostly respected for worldwide. If you use the wordclock I/O to time all yer gear, the shit is HOT! Tight as hell and the clarity difference is a shocker.
 
If Aardvark had come to the table sooner with WDM drivers, they would have had at least one more customer - me. I looked at the Q10 pretty extensively and loved the features, especially the monitor and headphone options over and above the 1010. I would have sprung for the extra $250 or so for it. But the fact is they didn't have the WDM drivers during the end of last year and the beginning of this year - and their website said "keep checking back, they're coming."

In the meantime, I've been making music with the 1010, with NO perceptible "lag" and I bought a few condenser mics with the $$ I saved.

Natpub, can you run the 1010 and the Q10 on the same system? If so, is it just a matter of hooking up the word clock BNC cable?
 
Definitive finalized settings?...

So, Ben -

Would you please post your specific settings that you're using now with the updated driver. Buffer settings in the M-Audio control panel as well as latency / buffer settings in Sonar? I've gotten a little lost following the 2 threads along the way and would like a definitive once-and-for-all settings specifics for your system with the new drivers.

Thanks,
Ryan
