Hello can anyone advise me to what would be a good set up for sonar 4 / motu / I am trying to put a sytem together that I can simultaneously record multi tracks, and have had difficulti in getting (dell) etc. to configure a system. Help! John

For the headphone section...I would recommend a link to the Headroom:

An all info you could ever want on Headphones page... ;-)

I have been building up my little studio with "older" equipment that I have been purchasing from eBay and such.

I have several MIDI modules:

Proteus 2000
Yamaha MU-80
Emu E5000 Ultra Sampler
Zoom MRT3 <Drum Machine>

A MIDI interface: Music Quest 8Port/SE <Purchased the WinXP driver from EarthVega>

A Digitech Harmonizer
A Behringer V-Amp Pro

Audio Technica AT2020 mic

All running through a Behringer Eurorack 1604A mixer

Into the computer runing Sonar 4 Producer

This information is illustrative as I recomend all this equipment.

The sound card is an St Audio C-Port === WITH THE LATEST DRIVERS provided by ESI

The sound card is a great peice of gear with tons of options and the price for all of this, so far is just over $1200. Not including the software, computer and monitors.

BigSugar,

Where exactly did you get the Windows XP driver for the Music Quest 8Port/SE ?

Thanks for the advice!

Hi, Rousseau....Love your faq page. I'm new here but was hoping you could help me with something. I just got sonar 4 and I'm trying to hook up my Korg Triton to work with it. I also have the Digi 001 and I'm using that for audio and as a MIDI interface.

Here's my problem:

I got the MIDI in's and out's of my triton connected to the digi 001 and I have the audio connected from my triton to the digi 001 audio inputs. I also setup the Triton instrument definition in Sonar. When I open up a MIDI track I can control the banks and patches from sonar but I don't get any MIDI codes recorded and I don't hear any audio. What am I doing wrong? I have the Triton on ch.1 and I have my sonar MIDI track on MIDI Omni. Can you help me? It would be greatly appreciated if you can.

Hello
i've just installed Sonar 1 and i can't use my soundfonts 'cos its written: undefined soundfont error.
Can you tell me why?
Thank you.

Greetings,

Something should be added about Creative Sound Labs "What U Hear" setting causing problems recording additional tracks --- that is assuming that new users with this problem would bother to look in the FAQ.

Regards,
David

Hi guys,

Why didnt I find this forum before?

I've been using Sonar for around 5 and a bit years and I've been up through the versions. Originally used an ISIS card, and then updated to a Tascam US428 on a P4 2.8 with 1 gig of RAM. Everything has been fine using WDM drivers and playing with buffer sizes depending on the number of tracks running to control latency. However, when I got hold of Guitar Rig and found what it could offer, suddenly the latency was way too high. I went to ASIO drivers (the latest update) and this has solved the problem. Occasionally I have to drop from 128 to 512 to do a live vocal with a few real time effects but latency isnt an issue.

What I have discovered is that I get a bluescreen roughly once per session, that doesn't seem related to any particularly function. Fortunately I save things regularly and haven't lost anything.

Does anyone know whether its a glitch in the ASIO's or have I not set it up properly?

I am having a conflict with the service pak 2, when it is added to my system I'm getting a stutter. I am using Sonar 2.2 to produce a radio program for the past two years will no problems. I tried turning off the security but was not sucessful. I restored to an earlier point before update and was able to do last weeks program. Today i updated my system with sevice pak 2 and the stutter is back.

Any suggestions?

Hi men, Congratulations for your exellent job., first at all, i don't speak English, I'm Colombian
I got a Problem.
When I'm gonna codify to .WMA, Sonar doesn't show me codification options. After It did it. What I can do?

Thanks

LotusLotus (don't klnow if you'll look back to this or not), but good for a FAQ post, nonetheless.

Can you help? Is there any setting in Sonar that will allow me to remain zoomed in where I want and stop the view moving itself along the score to keep the Now Time cursor in view? Or do I need to change how I work?

Press your scroll lock key. This prevents Sonar from scrolling the track view with the Now time. Just don't forget to press it again when you DO want to follow the now time.

How do I enable the VST plugin to be audible while I'm playing? I have been able to apply the plgin to the track after I have recorded.....Please help

I currently have a copy (my Friends) of Sonar 2XL installed on my pc. If I install Sonar 6 will I be able to open old projects in 6?

Delete AUD . ini
and TTS SEQ . ini

reboot and restart SOnar

Turn off 'what you hear'
