I have used Sonar for years to edit MIDI and save them as MP3's. Just started recording audio and can't figure how to hear my vocals during recording. I don't fully understand input echo. Some make it sound like an in/out for effects, others as input monitoring. I don't want to port in effects - I just want an audible feed in the cans.

I get a perfect recording level with input echo - but it is delayed, and sometimes distorts. Official Cakewalk documentation says this -
 
To eliminate the echo from input monitoring

1.Open the Windows Volume Control window:
list-image
Windows 7: Click the Windows Start button and go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Volume Control.
The Volume Control window appears.
2.In the Play Control window of the mixer, check the Mute check box in the Line-In column, or in the column of whatever jack your instrument is plugged into, and close the mixer window.
Now you can hear only the processed sound when you use input monitoring. Using WDM or ASIO drivers for your sound card keeps latency to a negligible amount.

Well bumping an 11 year old thread wont help. You seem to have a habit of doing that.
Info from 2007 is almost next to..Useless.
Start a new thread and list your soundcard set up. If your hearing a delay its 99% latency.
List your PC, operating system specs as well as which Sonar version your using.
It could be multiple things but more than likely your soundcard cant keep up with live input recording.
 

lol Gareth. I almost punched my monitor.

lol oops 10 year old thread. gotcha hehehe

You are always complaining about something

Hey Dappa, lets get over this man. there will always be people in life you don't agree with.
I know you don't like my opinions but one of us has to stop this non sense.
 
So I'll go first....
 
I'm Sorry I made some crap comments on your threads.
I will lay off in the future.
 
I wish you the best going forward. I mean that.

Chuckebaby lets just enjoy our new iteration of Sonar whatever form it comes in and continue to be an asset to the cakewalk/band lab community 

If your getting an echo, then lower your latency so its under 5ms, then you wont hear any echo's. Or monitor threw your interface, that is the best way, expecially if your project is too big to playback under 5ms.

Are you still around Cjay????

I love this post.

Well, I found the perfect solution and cheap too ($24.99). A Behringer "Micro Mon MA400". It has a XLR in and through and a 1/4" monitor in. You can blend the track and the mic perfectly, in mono or stereo. No need for "input echo" or tweaking latency, or buying a new sound card.
