tdawgg ,  the short version.. change your hardware and you find your issues are gone. sonar uses "generic" stuff.. so it doesn't know what maker you have.. e.g. roland / rme / motu etc etc etc

avid / digi = basically same company for 10+ years avid own digi IRC.. (and m-audio) ...oh and thats the same company that puts out PT... or am I being cynical ?

the title should have been changed to protools sucks and so does their hardware.....

why would they need to make 64bit.  they sold all their customers interfaces that only work with their software...they can't leave anyway.....

wow...sorry to invade your world..FYI, I don't see this kind of hate over on the PT boards.
I realize my post didn't start off with a glowing review of SONAR, but after a week of trying to set-up a DAW, I was obviously frustrated, especially when Cakewalk support basically said there is nothing they can do for me, and I realized I was out $200. Shame on both companies for not letting thier customers know about this issue...and shame on the people here for being narrow minded instead of helpful (except for the moderator, who I assume changed the title of my post for some reason)...good luck to you all and happy recording!

I'm not a fan of pro tools not you.  they took my money years ago and charged me more money every time i had to call with a problem.  sorry your having issues with cakewalk.  I'm sure if you get your interface figured out you'll be happy in the end.  Welcome to the forums!!!!

tdawgg , not at all narrow minded, if you read it out of context so be it.. I own a number of m-audio things (axiom / ozone (and the plugin with the same name that was distro'd in the UK by them) / 1010LT ) , but sadly because of their drivers and lack of customer care /  support  on 1 item will not be buying any of their products in the future . If Avid want to bother to reply to emails , then perhaps they should contact me via here. Not like my custom has counted for anything so far.

I switched hardware makers / sound card.. = zero problems now.... and I used a few hosts besides sonar.. and all 3 hosts gave problems that vanished after I switched... coincidence ? I can't blame sonar, I know that much. I blame their drivers.

it's not hate.. it's a case of .. would you rather make music (which I'm sure you would)
 or d*** around with sound cards ...

THATS WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO... nothing else

I've had 2-3 times where just switching hardware fixed such issues and yep I use more hosts than sonar so can't exactly be called a fan boy.

if companies tout their cards as "asio" based etc.. then make sure they test em on ALL hosts.. not  their own brand of DAW

I have been there myself with cards / hardware in general and it's infuriating , so believe it or not I know where your coming from

if companies tout their cards as "asio" based etc.. then make sure they test em on ALL hosts.. not  their own brand of DAW 


+1

adding ADC to PT9, but its a 'feature' we've had for almost two decades.

I seem to recall an interview with former Cakewalk CTO Ron Kuper who was talking about plugin delay compensation. He said something along the lines of why would you not have it? It's a no-brainer feature that they included in the first ProAudio version, and they never even thought of documenting it on a marketing "feature list" since it would quite simply be a broken DAW without it.

All it really boils down to is being an informed consumer. It's neither companies fault for you not doing your own research. It's widely known Avid/Digi hardware doesn't play nice with other programs. It's been that way for over a decade.

I apologize if that's a narrow mindset.

EDIT: I think these are the drivers Cakewalk told you to use. Funny how Avid didn't even know they had them.

certain companies (and I'm not referring to Cakewalk) HAVE changed the goal posts "mid version" or with an "update" AFTER they get your money for the .Zero version.. I doubt I'm the only one thats happened to.. and it feels sometimes as soon as a company see's the "legacy" period is due.. they quite happily turn into "LA LA LA I'm not listening" mode.. even when hardware is perfectly fine IF they bothered to write decent drivers..

been there.. got the t-shirt.. and any company who thinks thats "fine" to do, doesn't get my business later if I can possibly / hopefully avoid it.
