Problem audio rec in sonar!!!

Hi everybody i've got a big probleme with sonar ,when i take a rec the level is not the same is not realistic
i waiste time o get another mic(neumman) sound card or pre'amps the result is the same 5 year of sonar (8.5)
the audio is not realistic .
Some people do this audio comparaison ?
 
The waves import or bounces son good but rec a mic is the disastre!!

Just a thought, if you're using a condenser mic make sure you've got +48V enabled on your preamp or interface software.
 

You need to rewrite your questions in a way we can understand them. 
 
Just to be sure you know this. Sonar has no control on recoding levels. They are controlled at the source. Your microphone your pre-amp and your audio interface all have control Sonar does not.

John, you can have great levels going into Sonar and record nothing. Sonar has LOTS of control over recording levels and this may be a case of bad configuration or preferences. It sounds like he records on other DAW's but hasn't figured out how to get the same results from Sonar.
 
O/P tell us about your hardware and the configuration details. You should also go through Sonar preferences and see that they are the same as you use in the other DAW software. Bon chance'

ok thx a lot but iam a french user so excuse my english i think is maybe in preferencial but i don't know how to ajust or got not the same of reaper protools buta natural take of rec 
if i give a louder in the mic i've got saturation not DB !
 
 

ok my system.
windows 10x64bits gigabyte x99 udm5
i7 5820K sound card
 rme aio and focurite forte
cakewalk VS-100
Got reaper 5.0 and protools hd10 monitoring Adam 8X Mic neumann tlm103 
 
Imac 2012 i7 with logic x 10.10
 
 

My Mobo have 4 month  I change it because i think it was too old  caus the problem 
sonar platinium fresh install 
!!!
 
 

Does the forte/rme have mixer software? If it does, maybe that is where the problem is. Open the forte/rme mixer and make sure the levels are set correctly.

So that sounds like you can set the inputs so hot that the signal distorts, but what you record is very quiet and distorted. Sounds like a set up problem in Sonar. 

 
Sorry John, but I think you're missing the point.
 
The only way to control the input level going into Sonar(and hence to disc) is via your interface/mixer/pre-amp
 
As John rightly points out, if the signal is clipping at your converters, you can lower the fader all you want in sonar but the signal will still be clipped.
Sonar CANNOT know what's going on "outside the box" which is why it's extremely important to set your gain staging correctly right at the beginning of the chain - in this case microphone & pre-amp/interface gain.
 
During recording, the track level indicators in Sonar are for monitoring only - hence the need to keep them at unity to show exactly what level you can expect after recording. Adjusting this fader up or down makes no difference to the recorded signal but will make it impossible to accurately monitor what's being recorded. The same applies to the input gain (trim) at the top of the channel.

Is it even possible to change the monitoring level behaviour in Sonar?  As soon as you arm a track for recording, the meter shows whatever's coming in through the interface, no matter where the fader is set.  There's no "set to unity" as far as I know.

Unity is no gain or cut. Bristol has it exactly right. 

Perhaps if its pre fader. Most people have it post fader.  Besides why screw with it when it wont impact the audio in any way. 

To the OP, which driver mode are you using for the Forte, both in SONAR and the other DAWs?
 
As mentioned above, the gain knob on the Forte is hugely important (as are any effects being performed by the Forte itself).
 
A quick check of SONAR settings would be to navigate to the project folder you recorded and open that recorded wav file with Windows Media Player. If it still sounds "bad" is an issue with settings on the audio interface. If it sounds fine, then settings inside SONAR need to be looked at.

What don't you do Graig?

Merci beaucoup de votre aide cela est plus facile en francais pour moi 
donc je suis un fan de sonar et je constate que dans l’évolution de mon studio j'ai toujours changer de matos parceque le niveau de l'enregistrement voix ne correspondait pas avec le son de départ
j'ai essayé d'autres daw et sans aucune correction son flat j'obtient des signaux neutres et parfaitement similaire
donc je me rends compte que j'ai passé des années a acheter du matos alors quand fait le problème était le daw 
je suis frustré vu que je le connais par cœur et comprends pas certaines de ses mésaventures malgré un très bon prog
