Use ASIO Reported Latency Comparison
Hello All. Just wanted to get a point of comparison from others regarding you Reported Latency in Sonar Platinum. I've noticed that my Reported Latency hovers at 1750 when I first open Sonar. This, with no project open. I'd like to hear some Reported Latencies from others. To check, open Sonar and go directly to "Preferences " without opening a project. In preferences, click "Sync & Caching" under the Audio menu. On the right, bottom, you will see a checkbox and "Use Reported Latency" post your number. Not sure if this has anything to do with anything, just wanted some numbers for comparison. Maybe you could also post your default Sample, Bit Rate, and Interface type as well. Here are my 96k Sample Rate details:Interface: Roland Quad Capture Default Sample Rate: 96k Default Bit Rate: 24bit ASIO Buffer Size: 512 samples ASIO Reported LatenciesIn = 7.7ms Out = 10.6ms Roundtrip = 18.2msSync & CachingPlayback I/O Buffer Size = 256 Record I/O Buffer Size = 256 Use ASIO Reported Latency = 1750 Here are my details when I switch to 44.1K Sample Rate
Interface: Roland Quad Capture Default Sample Rate: 44.1k Default Bit Rate: 24bit ASIO Buffer Size: 256 samples ASIO Reported LatenciesIn = 4.2ms Out = 5.3ms Roundtrip = 9.5msSync & CachingPlayback I/O Buffer Size = 256 Record I/O Buffer Size = 256 Use ASIO Reported Latency = 914

I don't think a project being opened or closed has anything to do with this. It should be the same number as your reported Total Roundtrip ASIO Latency under Driver Settings. It depends on your buffer size, sampling rate and bit depth.

if you want to compare latency, you should post numbers in ms (not buffer size) ... and it only makes sense to compare it at the "lowest playable buffer setting" i.e. either use a VST you all have and check that you can play it without dropouts or use the Sonar demo project ... otherwise you could set it to virtually anything and its meaningless

Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 - I wonder why the slight difference to Chuck's numbers?

could be the CPU's. I have an Intel I7, you have an Intel I5. though are differences are not significant. I used an AMD bulldozer for a long time with great results, just load times were slower and projects would fill up faster with CPU's. with this custom PC I build 5 months ago, I can load projects like lightening and VST count is endless.

Might be the OS too. I'm Win10, you're 8.1.
