Sonar....ASIO support?

I read somewhere that Sonar is working on support for ASIO - which may be nice for those of us using the Aardvark hardware (Dp 24/96).

Anyone know anything about such a deal?

Thanks!
 
Does the "ASIO support" just work with Digidesign hardware?

Seems like it...
Cakewalk will support Digidesign hardware using Digidesign's recently announced ASIO drivers for Windows XP

Yea, I'm a little confused on the whole issue. It seems to me that the guys at Aardvark still have work to do (in my case anyway) - in that, drivers are drivers - whether it's WDM or ASIO..correct? When Sonar releases the patch, isn't the ball still in Aardvark's court to 'make it happen'?
 
I see it the other way. Doesen't Aardvark have ASIO-drivers now?

It's up to Cakewalk to make them usefull in Sonar. I'm not even shure it's possible (but have an extremely strong feeling it is).
 
Yes, Moskus...I think you're right (the more I replay the scenario from months ago when I finally got XP Pro to fly - which was well worth it IMHO...) I've always heard that ASIO was very good.

In terms of the Aark drivers, I guess I need to fire them an email as to which version of driver would work best as well as getting their official take. Also, they had a pretty extensive list of tweaks to do to Sonar to make their current A|WDM driver thingy work well (which it does.)

We shall see!

now the question is, which will be better WDM or ASIO???

"They" say that WDM/Dx is better than ASIO/Vst, because it's newer and therefore more efficient.
 
So is it confirmed that Cakewalk will support ASIO for harware other than Digidesign? I haven't seen anything other than this PR with digidesign.

Me and my RME Multiface could be very happy if it is true :D
 
Doesen't RME work excellent without WDM-drivers? Low latency?

Or am I mixing it with another soundcard?

There is a soundcard without WDM-drivers, which has low latency in Sonar.
 
Yes, I am getting low latency with my laptop. But there is room for improvement -- my desktop is fine though with no problems.
It is kind of a diminishing returns curve, but it still would be an improvement. And also, on my laptop using MME drivers on the multi makes the internal card and settings to act weird sometimes and they don't always play nice. I only use the internal card for midi.

RME was clearly designed around ASIO though and the lowest latency appears to come from ASIO.

I am happy, I just want to be happier :)
 
my frontier design wavecenter card is ASIO capable but cakewalk sonar doesn't work with ASIO.

once cakewalk releases a Sonar application that is ASIO capable, I can figure out for myself whether my card works better in WDM or ASIO mode.
