IRON RAIN

Thank you for explaining that!

Thanks for that. Will read up on it. It would appear that having an effect on another audio track will cause this latency on the new track I am recording to. I am wonding why that may be, but the main thing is I did get the solution here in a matter of hours, and am back to work! Pretty cool.

EDIT: WORKED! Thankyou. I re-read what you said and realized 'Globally' nixxing the effects was the trick. Thank you! I wish I understood why this is suddenly happening, but at least I can work around it now.

Using Sonar with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo. When recording audio I get serious delay (latency). Changing the buffer/sampling rate settings in both Focusrite panel and Sonar Prefs. have no effect. But if I start a new project there seems to be NO latency problem. Am using the Focusrite/ASIO driver for in/out. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reply! Yes, directly into Scarlett there was delay. I say was, because after trying a fix to the Power settings, things have improved. It was suggested to change Processor Idle Demote/Promote Threshold values to 100%, it seems to have done the trick. Thanks again!

Hi- Been using Sonar on a Dell PC. i5 processor and 32 GB of RAM. Using a Focusrite Solo for an audio interface. Suddenly -a good 1/2 second of latency on audio inputs (only in Cakewalk)? No lag through windows. Tried different drivers. Fully uninstalled/reinstalled all Focusrite. Tried all the tricks with Power Plans, USB settings, etc. Ran LatencyMon and it says all is fine. Weird thing is changing the buffer sizes in Sonar have no effect on the delay. At all. ANY ideas appreciated!

Thank you for the quick responses. I have actually done all the things Promidi mentions. (The Scarlett Solo is at 44100 and right now buffer is at 192). I am removing a couple plug-ins, as what John Vere said is probably quite correct. It seems to be better already. I will have a look at Resplendent latency monitor however. Thanks again!

Its strange because it happens even if a song has only a couple tracks, and only near the end of the song? Its a Dell Inspiron PC, 32 GB RAM and an i5 processor. Plenty room on drive. I have mixed songs with 30 tracks and had no issues. Am running minimal other progs, and have disabled Dell services, but no change. It look like the CPU spikes when it happens, and goes right back down immediately. No malware/virus, etc. Is my only option to play with the latency setting on my audio interface? Has anyone else encountered this sort of stutter? Thanks in advance of course.

OK, thanks. I figured but I didnt think there were any. Appreciate the reply!

Not sure what I pressed wrong, but suddenly when I split Audio clips, There are little non-vertical lines in the clip. (Making an X pattern once you zoom in) I dont think its an envelope so not sure how to make it stop? Any ideas appreciated!
