What Audio Interfaces are everyone using with Cakewalk and Sonar and are you satisfied?
I'm using Roland Studio Capture 1610 and it has many inputs, and works great most of the time. But Roland doesn't have Win10 drivers to download so you always have to download the Win10 drivers from the internet which sucks cause that means i need to have an internet connection on that music computer when before that I didn't have to. I'm used to just loading all drivers manually, but sometime the Roland Studio Capture drivers are lost for some strange reason when loading other programs. In my other equipment their drivers always remain loaded. But with Roland even if my screensaver comes on, the drivers are lost, and I have to reload them which sometimes becomes a nightmare in saying the drivers are already loaded by the program but the program says they aren't. Other than that, the interface is like a swiss army knife of audio interfaces and sounds very good. Someday i may upgrade to $3000-4000 dollar interface as my final upgrade.
Just wondering what audio interface is everybody else using with their Cakewalk program and are they satisfied with it?
Thanks

i use a RME Babyface Pro.
only two preamps, but they sound perfectly neutral,
which gives me what i want, ability to carve 'tones' later.
12-in/12-out, ADAT/SPDIF I/O, they pair well with other preamps (such as my A-Designs MP-1), rock solid drivers, EQ and Ambience effects available in the playback or to print or both or neither....
excellent UI

Windows has never been elegant about coming out of sleep or hibernation. I suspect that you also have USB ports enabled to go idle. Disable sleep/hibernation and the power management on the USB ports and your interface will probably function fine. Drivers do not unload, but the USB port will go offline unless that functionality is disabled.

My main DAW has 2 M-Audio Delta 1010LT PCI cards (so I get total 16 analog IO and 4 digital IO simultaneously).
I also have M-Audio Firewire 410 (Firewire) & Line6 TonePort UX2 (USB) in my second DAW.
Both PC runs Win7 x64. Very happy with them.

Audient iD22. Love the clarity of the sound, compared to my old Delta 1010. The preamps are pristine. Ultra clean when you want them to be, or nice and gritty when you push them. And the DI gives my bass an awesome punch. And it also doubles as great monitor controller. I can't tell you how happy I've been with it.

I agree. The iD22 is a great piece of hardware. I've been using one for the past 2 years and happy with it and not considering changing any time soon. Recently I've started making use of the optical inputs & outputs after adding an Audient ASP800 and an Aphex 141B.

I have several interfaces including a usb Roland 2 ch. It's a windows profile on a laptop that disables the usb when the battery is low I guess. A better battery. Full on power. That should help you. Your interface with automatic gain seems a great feature and an amazing box.
If you want a driver on an USB stick. That can be done. You can email Roland how to go about. They can send you the driver I'm sure.

Windows has never been elegant about coming out of sleep or hibernation. I suspect that you also have USB ports enabled to go idle. Disable sleep/hibernation and the power management on the USB ports and your interface will probably function fine. Drivers do not unload, but the USB port will go offline unless that functionality is disabled.
How do I disable USB ports, is that the same thing as disabling the hibernation or sleep mode?

Go into device manager, find USB root hubs, right click and select properties. Then click on power management, then deselect the box that says "put this device to sleep to save power" or something along those lines.

I have a pair of PreSonus Firepods, firmware flashed to FP-10. I started off with a PreSonus Firebox, which I still use on my other systems for mobile projects, then picked up this pair.
If I daisy chain them, I can have 16 mic/line inputs going at one time.
Old, I guess, but they work great. Supposedly the drivers are good to go in W10 if you install them in compatibility mode.
As long as my computer has a PCI slot for the Firewire card, I see no reason to use anything else.

Being connected to the Internet in-and-of-itself isn't a problem or something to worry about.
My main DAW is connected 24/7 (no A/V software, never infected)
Biggest risk is sending/receiving Email.
Another risk factor is surfing "unsavory" websites.
If you just go to audio specific websites for updates/authorization... and audio specific forums like this, you're not going to get infected.
Having an up-to-date backup image file (of the boot HD) is protection against many things (including malware).
If you have a lot of audio software/plugins installed:
With the amount of updates/authorizations/etc, you're almost forced to at least have temporary connectivity.
Some applications (like ProTools 2018 subscription) require Internet connection.
