Jul 28, 2007 10:57 pm First thing to check is your buffers. Mess around with them a bit and see if it helps.
Are you using Sonar synths or how are you running it through Sonar... Rewire? Reason maybe??

I'm sorry, you must get this alot.. But why would my just purchased KB37 give me so much latency and choppy noise? It sounds horrible and it takes forever to play the note I'm hitting. My computer specs are
Pentium 4
2.5 ghz
1 gig ram
rad 9800 vid card
motherboard sound card
Could it be the sound card? Also.. I'm using Guitar Port to control my sound, but since its not on or anything, I dont think that would be a problem... would it? Arrgg!! I wanna play with my new MIDI keyboard!!! Thanks for any help!!

Jul 31, 2007 08:06 pm First off, welcome to HRC.
Secondly, git rid of the onboard sound card, that is what is causing the major latency issue. Use the line outputs or monitor outs of the KB37. That will give you pretty low latency. I use both a Line 6 POD xt and their Toneport UX-2 and get my latency down to around 5 milleseconds with my buffers set at 256.
The KB37 is a sound card, and much better then the onboard card on any PC or laptop.
Then as stated go into Sonar and make sure you have the KB37 ASIO or WDM drivers selected and you should be good to go.
Nov 27, 2007 05:44 am I'm just gonna post this in here instead starting another thread about Sonar 6.
I'm actually using SONAR Home Studio 6 XL. What I'm wondering is... are there any great tutorials online or does anybody have tutorials that they could share for SONAR Home Studio 6 XL?
I've gone through the tutorials in the manual but I wanna do more and learn as much as I can.
Thanks for any help!
Nov 27, 2007 06:16 am Beyond the included tutorials, I'd say the best way to learn is start recording and mixing on your own and let nature take it's course. The tutorials are really just to introduce you to the basic concepts and functions, after that it's up to you.
Nov 27, 2007 10:12 am Also, on the cakewalk site in the help forums there's a few floating around for odd or more specific things. Try YouTube as well, theres a couple tutorials on there. Best thing to do though is just take the tutorials within the program found in the help topics and if those aren't challenging enough, deviate from the lesson and explore- like dB said for sure, just dig right in. Alot of it is just repetition; practice makes perfect.
Nov 27, 2007 10:19 am Yeah, I got that book with my Sonar, it's pretty good for the first few chapters, but it becomes mundane. It basically outlines the help topic tutorials in the program. Good for people who are visual learners though, for sure.
Nov 27, 2007 10:22 am I haven't read a "Power!" series book for a few years, but I really got a lot from the couple I did read on different topics.
Basically learning just comes down to doing...my advice is stop reading and start recording.
Nov 27, 2007 07:16 pm Thanks for the suggestions. I do plan on just goin' for it at some point. I have used Music Creator for a few years. I just recently got Home Studio 6 and I just wanna learn to do EVERYTHING with it and become proficient with it to the point that I can just do anything with it without having to look it up. I may purchase that Power book. I guess that covers Home Studio 6 as well as it covers Sonar 6.
Thanks!
Nov 27, 2007 09:54 pm As Keith stated, there are some good videos you can reach at Cakewalks site. Also go to youtube and hit it up there. Tons of them on there. And remember, you can use a lot of the stuff in the regular Sonar video's as well since it is a very close cousin and most of the stuff applies directly.
