  • [Updated] Sonar Pro + Rewire audio problems (not solved)

Hi there... I've been out of the game since Sonar 7 and Reason 5, so may be a bit rusty.

Now on Sonar Professional and Reason 8... I'm trying to Rewire multiple Reason instruments, each with their own audio and midi track.

I setup the ins and outs in Sonar.. All good.. I think.

In Reason, I take the outs of each instrument and route them to their own channel.. Ie. 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 and so on..

The problem: Any instrument plugged into anything 5/6 and above the audio is terribly glitchy.. A buffer type problem.

Instruments in channel 3/4 are clean, with no lag.

Amy I doing this wrong? How do I go about setting up a multi channel/multi instrument Reason rack?

Thanks in advance..

*Update - See post 4.. Still issues

And what do you know... It's fine now..

Not sure how I fixed it.. I think it was ASIO4ALL? I have a Propellerheads Balance interface that I've been using on OSX and Reason for the last however many years.

Back on Windows I was a bit unsure about drivers.. I thought the standard Balance driver wasn't working, so immediately installed ASIO4ALL.. Looks like that was the issue and the standard Balance driver does work..

My last question is still valid I suppose. Am I doing Rewire right?

I got the same problems with Sonar Platinum and Reason 7.To fix that distorted audio problem (seems a bad sampling rate sync) i use to disconect the problematic channels (in reason) and connect to others channels and then back to the original channels,and the prblem is fixed.Everytime i open a problematic project i need to do that.
Very weird.

Yeah right...

I actually spoke too soon... Nothing I try seems to fix the issue for good..

The issue that I'm having now is - Say a simple track with 3 Reason instruments. Each routed to their own stereo channel in Reason. Then to their own audio track in Sonar.

Issue: Some instruments will playback twice as fast, while at the same time another instrument is playing fine at normal speed..

Im so lost.. I've tried both standard Balance drivers and ASIO4ALL... Neither are any difference..

Is it an interface/driver issue? Or have I set something wrong in the preferences?

F me... I specifically purchased Sonar so I could Rewire, and record guitar with Guitar Rig 5...

Before my departure from Windows, when I went Mac and Reason only... Early version of Sonar and Reason used to Rewire fine..

Try to write a full report of the issue to Cakewalk support,i hope to do the same when i got the time.
Anyway post here the report and we can try to reproduce the issue together.

What version of Reason you on?
Interface? Drivers?
Not that it matters... Just curious.

Reason 7.1.1 (build 5082),audio board RME HDSPe AIO with latest 4.14 drivers (in ASIO mode)
Sonar Platinum 22.3.0 build 71 [2016.03] Windows 10 PRO x64 with latest updates.
I've also try the demo of Reason 8 but nothing changes,the problem it's still there.
