fireface uc question

hello

with my new fireface uc, when I click on the input monitoring button, there is a delay before the signal (guitar) is audible
with my delta 66 there was no delay

not really a problem but could you confirm this ?

asio is set at 64 samples, even at 48 I get the same delay

if I enable input monitoring during playback, there is silence then it is audible again


(sorry for my english)

verify that you have only the fireface listed as RECORDING and PLAYBACK DEVICES in the OPTIONS>AUDIO

yes,
playback timing master : ASIO Fireface USB Analog1
record timing master : ASIO Fireface USB Analog1(3,5,7 as other choices)

input drivers: ASIO Fireface USB Analog1,3,5,7 selected
output drivers:  ASIO Fireface USB Analog1 selected

do you mean that the entire project delays temporarily or that there's an audible echo when you use the ECHO INPUT?

no, there is only a small silence when I click the input monitoring button (the project does not stop)
I will try to make a video ...

ok - that's not due to latency. 

you can try enabling READ and WRITE cache in the preferences.  you didn't say which version of sonar you have so I don't know which way to tell you to find it.  OPTIONS>AUDIO>ADVANCED (I think) for Sonar 8.5 and below.  "P" on the keyboard and then click on SYNC AND CACHING for X1.

Beagle and bvideo, thank you for your answers
I use SONAR 8.53(I have X1 too but wait for X1b...)
I tried your suggestions, but unfortunately : no change

Hi wilko

This is a known driver issue - RME are aware of it - it affects both the FFUC and FFUFX.

The thread below is from the RME forum

http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=10079    ->  in particular Post #4  and  Post #5

Looks like a fix is not scheduled for a little time yet, but they are aware of it.

I am having similar issues and others with X1 and my Fireface 800. Am I crazy, or did I have more options previously in my audio panel with the 800? I currently cannot change the bit rate and my preferences in X1 will not allow bit rate, buffer number or size changes in the ASIO driver. If I switch to WDM the mentioned settings become selectable (bit rate, buffer number and size). Also, my audio panel reverts to 44K sample rate every time I apply changes in X1. Something wrong here? I have been getting some long latencies and digital distortion with even one track of audio recording at low gain settings. Maybe I should have started a new thread for this, but you referenced an RME thread I looked at (among others) in researching these issues.
