WELL I GAVE UP! I JUST WENT AHEAD RESET THE ENTIRE COMPUTER. THE PLUGIN FILES, ALL MY PROJECTS PICTURE ETC. ARE ALL GONE NOW. I feel like total crap and I only hope I can get back to where I was. I had so many projects that weren' t finished. I really liked using my wave plugins, and i really don't like the built in plugins in sonar, but I guess I'll have to change how I work

kamelodic It sucks because the waves plugins I have are cracked from a friend

Is your copy of Sonar "cracked from a friend" as well by any chance?

As for plugins causing latency, yes some do. Some because they put a heavy load on the PC and the audio interface buffer has to be increased to avoid dropouts. Some because the plugin itself requires a certain amount of time to work. As a rule, plugins that cause a lot of latency are things with a look-ahead function, though there are others as well. Generally speaking you're better off not using those plugins while tracking. Use something else that does the job while tracking, then load the latency-causing plugin when you start mixing.

Waves are unusual in that they do actually tell you how much latency their plugins cause. Though once you're using cracked stuff all bets are off.

Why not monitor directly off the Focusrite, through headphones? You wouldn't need to use ASIO4All, which may be actually calling the MME driver

NO! asio4all is a WDM wrapper, nothing to do with mme, be careful of that facebook favourite, distortion of truth by association!
 

 

(what's up with embedding yt vids btw?)

Can you please tell me kind sir how to do the tracking thing? What plugins should I use while tracking? I'm still a beginner and don't know what tracking means? I just reset the entire system and I'm going to make sure it is clean in every folder to ensure faster runtime

I think I got that. Now about an answer to my tracking questions?

NO. I'm a 24 year old female otaku and kpop junkie, who's African American and Asian mixed with good diction and nearly precise syntax. I'm just trying to get answers to my questions , and I don't see what this has to do with anything.

Im sorry and don't mean to be rash, BUT I HAD JUST HAD TO FACTORY RESET MY SYSTEM AND LOSE ALL MY PERSONAL FILES!!! I would just really like the answer to my DAMN QUESTION, so I can get back to doing what I love.

So is there anyone who can answer my question? Someone helpful please.

My question pertains to this:

"Generally speaking you're better off not using those plugins while tracking. Use something else that does the job while tracking, then load the latency-causing plugin when you start mixing"

Can someone explain to what this means and how I do it?

Thank You

i never use plugs of any type, while tracking.
 
i leave all plugs out of the equation, to get the most power from my real time processing of the actual sound data.
 
if you just HAVE to have effects while tracking,
i suggest using an interface that has built in DSP that does not print, allowing 'zero latency' monitoring,
and then those problems will disappear.
 
most folks do not need to have effects on to capture miced up performances,
and most midi performances can be 'frozen' to wav file temporarily to facilitate continued tracking.
 
save all the plugs, for mixdown.
 
and don't mixdown, until you've finished tracking (recording live performances).
 
 
the issue of using cracked software, is that it often leads to more problems than they are worth,
especially if your drivers are not up to date (which you cannot update certain software without legitimate licenses), not to mention it's simply illegal, and if you are going to use cracked software, do not mention it here.
