I did go to Option\Global\MIDI and, under the Playback heading, went up to 2000 on the MIDI buffer. While playing today, I again had the (dreaded) sticking note. In fact, this time it was after playing for a while, and then starting a few minutes later to play again. It occurred within a few seconds of playing a song.
Lastly, I still haven’t been able to find what 88fingers recommended. He had said that he got this rec from a Cakewalk rep, so I think it’s probably worth trying. He had said:
Open the Preferences > Audio – Playback and Recording to uncheck the "Always Stream Audio Through FX" box. Click [Apply] then [Close] to return to your project.
As I had said, I wasn’t able to find this option with my 8.5 ver of Sonar Producer. Is it possible this option is hiding somewhere else? As I had said, I don’t even see a toolbar selection item for “Preferences,” though I did look under “Options.” I wasn’t able to find anything there.
Thanks.
