Need Some Help!

[BillEvansFan]

HI,

I have the Delta 44 with Windows XP and Cakewalk Sonar 2.0. my problem is i am still having latency problems when i use input monitoring. I tried alot of the stuff that has been said in different post like lower the buffer setting in my Delta control panel. And also tried lowering the latency in Sonar. When i lower the latency in sonar two much it starts to pop and crackle. Ive also tried to update my drivers and that didnt help. My computer shouldnt be the problem it is fast enough. I am very very frustrated! its not very late just alittle bit and enough to mess things up. Is there something else i havnt done?

Thanks,

Rick

I know you feel your computer is fast enough, but what are its specs anyway?

I just got this information from the cakewalk forum posted by Dachay2tnr

Dropouts are also effected by the nunmber of tracks in a project and the number (and type) of real time effects being used.

If you are having severe dropout problems, you can do as James said and increase your latency setting. You can also try some or all of the following:

- mix down several tracks to a single track and then archive the original tracks (e.g., mix the BGV's down to just one track, or mix all the drums down to one track)

- destructively apply and realtime effects (however, best to clone the track first and archive it, as there is no going back from this)

- If you are using the same plugin on several different tracks within a project, try using the plugin on an Aux Bus and routing those tracks to the bus


And of course there is always the better hardware route. E.g., get a dedicated hdd for audio (7200 RPM minimum), increase your memory, upgrade your CPU...
