I did a search for "AUD.INI and could not find the file on my system. Although the update installed successfully. The latency in set at 49ms and it still does it.

Bassmanx,

In order to see the new AUD.INI settings you'll have to make at least one change to your Audio Options page (Options::Audio). Change the latency and save the changes, then you'll be able to see this new variable in your AUD.INI file. By the way, having such a high latency setting can be as detrimental as having a too low of a setting. It varies with each system so this is just a general rule. Try lowering the latency to around 20 or maybe 10 ms and see if you still hear glitching. Report back once you're done testing or if you have any further questions.


EDIT: Oops! Misread your problem, Susan got it though. Try that instead, but do lower your latency.


Take care!

I just Re-installed the patch and no AUD.INI to be found anywhere....I have maxed out the buffer as far as I can...no use. Like I said, it wasn't there in 7.0.1 so it's not like I have a screwed up machine.

I'll deal with it tomorrow.

It's there, trust me! (see my post above).

EDIT: Be sure to check "Advanced Search Options" and the "Search subfolders" box as well.

And you did. I just saw he was still having problems finding the AUD.ini file so I gave him more precise instructions. But the credit is still yours .

Hi Jose-

No it's yours, no question!

Let's just call it even then .


Take care Susan!

Wow, it's like you guys live for this stuff.

How did you guys know about the "varible" AUD.INI file?....is that in the manual or cakewalk site?

Where can I read up on this? How do I go back to ver 7.01 should I have problems?

Thanks Jeff.............(no motorboating with 7.02 yet!)

It's in the help file under ".inifiles" It explains the various .ini files, what they're comprised of, and how to change 'em.

FWIW, I'll throw this out there again. My motorboating (more of a putter sound for me) issue in 6.2.1 was caused by a single plugin (otiumFX BassLane). I think I'm the only one who has associated this issue with a plugin but I thought I'd letcha know anyway

I agree with Bassmanx. Before I install 7.0.2, no problems, then after installing 7.0.2, I started having this motorboating issue as others have which to me is inexcusable on Cakeswalks part. This is like saying "oh install this patch and it will fix these issues, but oh and by the way sorry but that will create a new set of problems". Obviously there are a lot of people now all dealing with the same issue, and I am seeing ton's of posts related to this, yet I have not seen one notice from Cakewalk staying sorry we screwed up and we are burning the midnight oil to fix this. I work a full time job and don't have the time to piddle around trying the search out a fix, that is Cakewalks responsibility. I love the product but this is horrible customer service, and I'm sure I am not the only one who is pissed about this.

Hey Cakewalk WHAT'S UP? When are you going to get a fix for this since it is happening to so many people I cannot believe it is individuals DAWS but your software that needs to be fixed.

OK here is the link to the problem I am having.

Keep in mind that I had NONE of the motorboating problems that were discussed in 7.00 or 7.0.1. This is all NEW !!!

I realize that Sonar has to work on a ton of different machine and all that. However, I'm p*ssed because, after 3 versions, it's the audio engine that is the NEW problem.

The audio engine IS the heart and soul of the product. After 3 versions of Sonar 7, it should work as advertised. Period. I don't care how many systems it has to deal with. Compatibility between some of the GUI and different hardware I can understand but not when it comes to the audio engine. That should work on the bottom of the ocean and on the moon!

I'm very disappointed.

OK I am at work, on lunch break so I can't try new solutions yet. BUT here is what I have done so far:

1 ) I finally did find the AUD.INI file. I changed the 250 valueto 500.......no improvement.
2 ) I chnaged latency setting from 9ms all the way up to 2 full seconds......no improvement.

Again I stress the issue is not on my end. I am using the same settings I have used from Sonar 4 all the way through to Soanr 7. The variable is not on my end. I will try to reinstall back to Sonar 7.0.1 when I get home.

I have learned a lesson here. I will not be buying Sonar 8 until August 31st, 2009. I feel like I've paid good money to be part of a Beta program.

Just grasping at straws here, but have you reprofiled your audio card since applying the patch?

Yes, even though it supposedly doesn't really apply to ASIO. (I too am grasping at straws)

Mmmmmmmm.................... I was GONNA load the patch, but i'm not really having any issues right now so as they say

"If it's fixed, don't break it."

If it is an issue with the AUD.INI file, then I'll deal with it in S8

Ed

Good point. We shouldn't be tinkering with INI files to get the program to work.

First thing I'm doing when I get home is switching back to 7.0.1.
