Hello.
 
I am new to X2 and am using a Boss Dr. Rhythm with an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra sound card.  When I record a track with the Boss, Sonar is picking up the sound awesome and it looks like it is on time.  However, when I stop recording and playback it is way off and echoes terrible.
 
Playback and Recording Settings:
My Driver Mode is set to WDM/KS
My Dithering is set to Triangular
The only two boxes check are 'Use Multiprocessing Engine' and 'Use Windows MMCS'
 
Driver Settings:
Playback Timing Master 1: Fast Track Ultra Out 1/2
Recording Timing Master 1: Fast Track Ultra Out 1/2
Audio Bit Depth = 16 and the 64 bit processing engine is checked.
Stereo Panning Law 0db center sin/cos taper, constant power
Dim solo gain -12db
Sampling Rate 44100
Buffers in playback queue 2627
Buffer Size 29.0 msec/1280 samples
 
I have a Windows 8/64 bit machine. 
 
Thanks for your help.

You should use ASIO drivers, not WDM drivers.

You also want to keep your record latency as low as possible, without getting dropouts and pops and crackles and such.

huh... are recording the analog signal from the Boss or is this a MIDI set up? If it's the analog line out have you disabled the echo monitoring on your interface and within Sonar before playback?

Also use ASIO if possible and if that drum box has a MIDI interface it'd be best to learn how to get Sonar to use that instead of analog line out.

Please note... I really have no idea what I'm talking about here but those are things I would look at first.

Ditto Beep's question with a few others.

Recording Audio or MIDI? What's triggering the Boss? Is it playing an internal pattern or triggered from elsewhere such as a MIDI track in Sonar?

Thanks for the responses.  I set the drivers to ASIO and it seems to be working a bit better...some crackling and popping still, but not to bad.

Try increasing your ASIO buffer size a little, that should help the pops and crackles.
