Just curious. Digidesign seems to be a major player in the home recording space.

this seems the "livelyest" board
of all the boards dedictated to software for recording. That's why I posted it here.

Moskus must mean why you ask this in Cakewalk Forum rather than in newbies / computer & soundcard or even Dragon's cave...

....cuz we are all biased here, being that this is the Cakewalk forum, and that we have all bought Cakewalk software.

What latency problems? I haven't had any problems with latency and SONAR.

cut it off...
My case, SONAR had latency problem when recording Soundfonts into wav track. Thank God I still have my CWPA9 CD, I've always had to convert any soundfonts track in CWPA. Why ? because in SONAR (I've got 2.0 XL) with any setting I've made, I mean any possible setting and tweak I made, and still get latency problem after 1-2 minutes track. I've used Cakeys for 7 years on vary product, so I know how it work. Every software has a pros / cons related to hardware issue. If you have no problem with it, then you're on the right line.
Me...? Seems like I need to kick either my PC, or my software. 
I've got strong powerfull PC anyway... So...

I've used Sonar with a Live!-card, Audigy-card and now LiveSynth Pro DXi on a Audiotrak Inca88. I've never had any problems recording soundfonts as audio (although I've never tested recording the DXi ).
Maybe you should lay down your traks using the Creative-card and then during mixdown use the Livesynth... Well, just an idea.

James, with wdm drivers, win xp and a decent puter, you should not be experiencing those kind of problems. Hell, I have a PII 400 puter running win 98 and I can use soundfonts with a synth just about, so you should definately be better than mine.

WDM drivers... that's it. That's the key. Oh la la... It's the Live! card we're talking about. Thanks Paul, I remember I often play around with the driver. Install and roll it back several times. Guess it screwed up somewhere. Moskus I'd like to try your smart idea right away... after I roll back to the Microsoft driver... but for now, I'm gonna...

Paul,
Currently I have a Celeron 466 Win98 SE. I'd be interested to know which particular soft synth you use for playing your soundfonts.
I recently bought HS2002, and when I get my spanking new 64M video card, I'll be up an running.
Will the bundled Edirol VSC play sound fonts? If not, I'll be trying the Beta 2 version of Virtual Sampler...BTW I originally came from a rather large city in the North of England. Some place where they have two football teams and occasionally host Commonwealth Games

Ahhh....Manchester is it? I think I would prefer Australia somehow!
I use LiveSynthPro and VSAmplerDXi. I do have 760 Meg ram which helps. I am not saying I don'y have any latency, just that I can just about get away with playing s/fonts.
Until Christmas whan Santa brings me a new puter

Oh My Goodness... I'm Seeing Double!
Right on both counts there Paul
I was able to play SFs with my Celeron 466, 128MB RAM and VS3 using CW PA7. I wasn't able to record anything though. I had Grand Piano, Rhodes Electric piano, a second electric piano, bass guitar and drum sound fonts all merrily thrashing away to one of my MIDI tracks.
My ultimate aim is to overdub multi-guitar tracks and leave just drums and bass as MIDI tracks.
BTW, what type of sound card do you have? Mine's a Terratec EWX 24/96.
I haven't been able to use VS3 with my HS2002 just yet. Still waiting for that video card. Come on Santa, get a move on

Sorry about the double post...this site is getting so slow as to be unusable lately. Tried to delete the post but couldn't get on the BB. Oh well
I use an m-audio delta66 + omni sound card, very impressed with it. Plus a s/blaster Plat. Live! just for the front mounted midi connector. When I get my new puter I'll buy a Quattro which means that I can then connect that to the puter using the USB port and then supplement the quattro with the omni. My k/board is USB as well, so no problem there
As you say, hurry up Mr Santa!
