Yes, I understand the concept. I have such a simple approach to recording this just doesn't seem to be much of a problem for me. I don't play drums, so I use AD2 and EZD3 most of the time. No added samples. No double kicks. I almost never mix an amped and a DI signal for guitar or bass. However, I do watch (listen) for instruments that are competing for sonic space in the mix, and I always check my mixes in mono before exporting. For me personally, phase alignment is pretty far down the list of problems with my recordings. 😄

I don't track drums, so multiple microphones are rarely an issue for me. If I use two microphones on an acoustic guitar, I'll adjust the positions by ear.

Does anyone know if we have to leave Scaler 2 installed for compatibility with old projects?

Right era for me. But, no, I never recorded it.

Line 6 support suggested trying their driver intended for PCs with Windows core isolation. Even though I don't have the core isolation feature, that driver works for me. The POD Go now appears in ASIO mode and I can record directly into Sonar over a USB connection.

Yes, it's strange that the POD does show up in Cantabile, but the options for selecting sample rate and bit depth are grayed out. By contrast, the sample rate and bit depth options for the Focusrite are available to be set in Cantabile. Edit: I should have added that the POD Go supports a range of sample rates that can be configured in ASIO, so those options should have shown up in Cantabile.

Yup, tried this then got a message from Sonar that there were no audio devices available. That was in ASIO mode. As noted above, the POD Go does show up in WASAPI. As Chaps suggested, this is looking like an ASIO driver issue. I've opened a ticket with Line 6 support and am waiting to see what they suggest.

The POD Go does show up in Sonar in WASAPI mode, though I need to experiment more to see whether it functions properly. When I installed Cantabile, the POD Go ASIO driver showed up as an option, but I couldn't access the configuration settings. I'll play around with WASAPI a bit more before deciding what to do next.

I'll do more sleuthing tomorrow. For now I can confirm there are no ASIO drivers in the registry besides the POD Go and the Focusrite.

Thanks for the replies. @Wookiee Realtek and Intel Display Audio (everything besides the Focusrite) are permanently disabled. When I tried the POD Go with the Focusrite turned off, Sonar told me there were no audio devices available. When I have time, I can try the POD Go again with the Focusrite disabled in Windows settings. @David Baay Yes, I'm using the latest ASIO driver from Line 6. The POD Go ASIO driver shows up in the registry. Is there a way to verify if Windows 10 is actually using it? Line 6 documentation is adamant that their ASIO driver is what you should use for best performance.

There are many threads here about interfaces not being recognized, but none of the solutions I've seen in those other threads have worked in my situation. I installed the Line 6 ASIO driver for the POD Go, then connected the POD Go to a USB port. Windows recognizes the POD Go and plays the audio test jingle properly, but the POD Go does not show up in the device preferences in Sonar or CbB. I've tried renaming the AUD.INI files before starting Sonar and CbB. I've tried shutting off my regular Focusrite interface and then rebooting the PC with only the POD Go powered up. Again it shows up in Windows, but Sonar says there are no audio devices available. You're supposed to be able to record the POD Go guitar outputs directly through USB. You're also supposed to be able to use the POD Go as a reamp device for previously recorded tracks. That is the main reason I'm trying to get this to work. Any ideas?

So sad. . . Take care Wookie.

No expert here, but the integrated graphics on my Intel CPU work fine for Sonar.

Interesting stuff. The Oliver Sacks book is a great read. Other related books I've enjoyed: Daniel Levitin's "This Is Your Brain on Music" and "I Heard There Was a Secret Chord." "Of Sound Mind" by Nina Kraus also explores the mechanisms of hearing with a lot of attention to music perception. This area has become something of an obsession with me since acquiring diplacusis (hearing the same tone as a different pitch in the left and right ears). More recently my perception of pitch has become so distorted that notes a couple of octaves apart sound out of tune (for example the C below middle C and the C two octaves higher). Brain retraining exercises seem to help, but it's been challenging.

Thoughtful tribute, Greg. RIP Colin.
