Also, the green volume meter is moving when I play bass, though no sound

Bob, I want be as disciplined as you need me. I do not see what I might have ignored  (Other than sample rates few post before) ?  You have been most patient, please dont give up :-)

Here are current settings. (g) means light shade grey, inactive setting

Playback Timing Master      1: UA-25 out
Record Timing Master         1: UA-25 in
Audio Driver Bit Depth        24  (g)           64 bit double precision engine (not checked)
Stereo Panning                    0
Sampling Rate                     44100
Buffers in Playback Queue    2 (g)
Buffer Size                           Fast (g)       6,5msec      288 samples

ASIO Reported Latencies:

 Input:  10,8 msec, 478 samples
Output 13,5 msec, 597 samples

Total Roundtrip: 24,4 msec,  1074 samples

I am not sure how to retrieve interface settings like buffers. Windows control panel?

The UA25 is a bit different, its interface is weird, it doesn't show "normal" buffer sizes it just has a slider.  Like sonar has in WDM mode. 

Agreed the latency should be lower for accurate recording, but isn't his complaint about sound quality of his bass tracks? Which he can now hear, I woulls still like to know what he is listening through? 

Also on his timing sonar behaves better I believe ( can't remember the reason) if the playback and recording timing masters are set differently. Ie 1 on playback and 2 on recording.

My computer stopped responding. I am logged on my old laptop now. Give me a minute to reboot please

Stinga you are quite correct - I am just trying to go through this once, so everybody can be done with this.

The playback and record timing are set on mine to use out 1 and in 1,so I guess that's ok.

The interface settings seem to show up in a really weird place - All I will be doing is to ask him to alter the buffers, and maybe that load setting - have to go back and read it again.

It this bogs down I will skip to trying to fix that track problem and do this other stuff another time.

Good call on that.

Hey Pawel you there?

That doc looked a lot less scary when it was just on the web

All I was trying to do was to check the buffer size - let's do that another time

OK?  So, would you like to skip that for now and see if we can fix your bass track monitoring?

Bob

Heey Stinga - what are/were the settings like on your interface??

Bob Bone

Do you have the Input Echo button on that track lit?  If not, try clicking on it to get it lit up blue, then play some more.

It is a button on the right side of the track name

Bob

So everything is COOL AND GROOVY?????

Bob

Bob, You are my HERO,  the GREAT MASTER of knowledge, patience and organised work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a big blurb on it in the doc.  Midi tracks have them too.

It let's you hear - is the short answer.

OK - so methodical WINS!

I am SOOOOO happy for you to get past all of this stuff.

This did pretty much pop my balloon (I am quite tired now), so I am going to jump off this thread for the day, or at least until later - I am sure I will check it again after a nice long nap and some cookies.

I am also going to walk down to the beer and wine store and grab some cold ones to celebrate.

We have some more to do - just tweaks to get your latency down - we will tackle that another time.

Enjoy playing around with everything tonight!!!

And don't forget to get another hug - remember - when you get a hug you are also giving one!

Bob Bone

Bob, I am so happy now I have thousands of hugs at my disposal. Truly unbelievable that you wanted spend full day solving my silly problems. I will never forget that.

Thanks Brundlefly, I see its essential
