[SOLVED] Nudge is slow

Can someone please confirm whether or not nudge is slow (showing the waiting cursor) in X1?

It's just a MIDI track.  How would I disable Audio Snap Transients?

Even when I turn snap completely off, I get the delay.

This is just a very simple project, and my PC is fast, so this is very strange!

If I open the same project in Sonar 8.5.3 and nudge a note back and forth, it happens very quickly, although I do see the "waiting" cursor flash for a tiny fraction of a second.

So, the presence of the "waiting" cursor isn't much of a hint anymore. 

I just wonder why X1 is so slow to move notes back and forth via nudge.  The delay is the same when I nudge audio clips in the track view.

Is it fast for you?

Interesting!  If I start a new project, nudge is fast.  Even if I copy the MIDI data all over the place, it's fast. 

And when I delete almost all the MIDI data from the slow project, it's still slow.

So the delay is definitely project-specific.

Not only that, but with the "slow" project, I also get a 1-second delay when I copy clips, delete clips, do just about anything in the Track View.  It's as if every editing action triggers some recalculations on the part of Sonar.

Okay, I simplified my slow project until I found out what was making it slow.

If I change my master bus output to my nice Delta44 sound card, it's slow.  If I use my cheapie ASUS XONAR DX card, it's fast. 

So, the choice of audio output affects the editing delay.  This is very strange.

I disabled the XONAR driver, and then Sonar showed the "Reassign missing Audio Output Devices" dialog.  Since my master bus was already outputting to the Delta44, I left the XONAR selected (with parentheses around it indicating it would not work), and things were fast.

I re-enabled the XONAR driver, and things we slow again.

I repeat the process, but this time selected the Delta44 when prompted.  Things remained fast after that.

Therefore, I suspect some option in the project has the XONAR selected as output.  It's not the Track, since it's set to Delta44.  What else could it be?

I assume you're using the ASIO driver in Sonar.  I understand ASIO doesn't support more than one card so I assume the 'constipation' was because of this.
