I'm making my computer ready as a daw. Being a Cakewalk fan, it was time to install Sonar. Since they have released their X2 version, the obvious choice was to bauy the upgrade and install it.
Everything seemed to run smoothly: downloaded the full version after purchase (a whopping 10 GB !).
No issue with the installation. Ready for use ! Yeah !!!
But...
After inserting some soft synths, I noticed a strange issue. When inserting a new one, I could easily play the soft synth in real-time. I'm using the asio drivers with a low latency setting. Howerver, when inserting the nexty soft synth, I had issues with latency on the first one. Secpond seemed to be fine. Inserting a third one, same story: third one played fine, first and second having latency issues. I could explain what happened inserting the fourth one...
I looked on different forum for answers, but don't seem to find the solution for this issue. I'll think I have to call in Sonar's support on this one
Time after time I'me rediscovering that 'newer' doesn't always mean 'better'.
In the mean time, I could think about activating my old DAW on windows XP which is celebrating it's tenth birthday this year...
