desertbluesman Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I loaded my Sonar 8.5.3 onto my Windows 8.1 computer the other day. I do not have an audio interface on that computer yet as I do not want to spend the money until I see that it will work. The audio drivers are standard with what Dell installs. I loaded a project in Sonar yesterday to try and test if it played, and it did, but fizzy, slower, and an octave lower than the original project did. I am hoping the realtec audio drivers were not sufficient to play the 32 bit files correctly as Sonar requires higher quality interface/drivers (fingers crossed). My question is; Do any of you think it is the lack of an audio interface and drivers that is hampering the correct playback of my Cakewalk projects. I even opened a new project in Sonar and imported a MP3 file and it played distorted fizzy and slower than it did in Windows Media Player. Although that MP3 played fine in Sound Forge. Should I pull the trigger on a new audio interface? Is that the answer? Or should I have loaded Sonar 8.5.3 in 32 bit mode? dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 I changed the drivers from WDM/KS to MME, and it works like a charm. Now I can finish loading all of the other apps and also the data from the old DAW Hard Drives. Back up and running. dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertbluesman Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 @ Larryz Still a long way to go amigo, I have to load on 7 more versions of Sonar to get all the plug ins that came with old versions. I still have to get an audio interface ($299 at Sweetwater) and I still have to transfer all the data from the 4 DAW drives onto one or two USB 3 External drives, then if everything works, maybe a real smoking desktop computer with a solid state OS and apps drive and also a one terabyte hard drive as a second drive for data, $1,199 at Dell with an Intel I 7 processor. dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
