Problems with audio mixdown...help needed!

I`m using Sonar 7 PE, and when I export any random track to wave...the drums(superior drummer) miss serveral) beats or/and dissapears!? Really annoying to say the least...

Heres a quick clip of what I`m talking about:

Click me for examples!

It happens at 0:18, and again at 0:37-0:38....any of you got some experience with this, and know what the problem is? If so, please share as I`m pretty lost here!

    you'll get better responses on this in the sonar forum. this forum is for talking about computers and computer hardware related problems.

    I have had problems like this before on other samplers - there are a couple of things it could be. the first thing I would do is uncheck the FAST bounce in the options when you export. actually, I'd bounce the MIDI/Superior to an audio track BEFORE exporting and make sure and bounce with the FAST bounce unchecked.

    another thing to look at would be your soundcard settings. what soundcard are you using and what is your latency set to? if it's set too high or too low it will cause problems in the mixdown. too low and you might get problems with missing notes in MIDI like you're describing. too high and you might get timing problems where the buffer is fiiling up but not responding fast enough to the mixdown.

    my guess however would be the fast bounce might solve it.

    Thanx for the response Beagle! I just did a bounce-unchecked mixdown, but the problems were the same. I have a Echo Audiofire 12 soundcard, with these settings: Sample rate - 48Khz and buffer size - 256 Samples/5,3msec. Hope this means anything to you?

    Thread moved to the SONAR section!

    Are the missing beats random, or do they always disappear at the same location in the song?


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Increase your buffs in options/global/midi and increase your playback buffers also. It may, i said may help. Also, make 1000% sure everything is selected (clips)

    This may help also. May help....
    By default, SONAR uses a buffer for bouncing tracks that is the same size as the Mixing Latency value that you set in the Audio Options dialog. But with some projects, especially ones that use certain soft synths, the bounce buffer needs to have its own value. You can set the value in the aud.ini file with the BounceBufSizeMsec=0 line in the Wave section. At a value of 0, the bounce buffer is the same size as the Mixing Latency value that you set in the Audio Options dialog. You can set the bounce value to 100, or some value between 0 and 350 so that the bounce buffer will use a more efficient size for bouncing, which has different requirements from normal playback latency.
