I have been out of a studio for two years now, and just bought a house! Now i'm in the process of setting up the basement as a live recording room. I have a dell laptop, and i'm interfacing with an RME Multface unit, into Sonar 4 . I installed Sonar and the RME unit, and both installs went smoothly. I disabled the anti virus software.My problem is that Sonar doesn't seen to be seeing the sound device. All the inputs say none. the wave profiler etc. won't work. I've uninstalled and re-installed both to no avail! Any ideas?

tia, JasonBird
 
Figured it out

Apparently , rme doesn't us wdm drivers, and after selecting the mme driver option and running the wave profiler, i'm in business...

Try ASIO. MME is the worst choice. I would be surprised if RME doesn't support either WDM or ASIO.
 
I'll give it a try! I also downloaded the latest drivers, and did a flash update for the pcmia card , and finally installed all the sonar updates.....still working after that.
 
ASIO is working also, so I'll leave it there. Thanks for the tip!!

Now sync problems...

well, i recorded a quick drum track to test it all, and the playback is pretty sporadic. it seems like it's speeding up in sections. i checked the hammerfall dsp settings, and it shows no lock everywhere. it's set to auto sync. the system clock says master, and 44.1 kHz. All of the different options are greek to me ie, adat, spdif, word, etc.
Should the clock signal come from Sonar or the i/o box? which is the preferred method? It sure seems like i never had these problems with sonar 1.3 ....It does get better right?
