Okay, I've done a few recordings (nothing worth mentioning) and downmixed to stereo 24/96 using Riff Wav codec (I'm hoping that's a raw codec, but I can't seem to find another one that would be RAW in the VERY limited selection provided by Sonar), and I get 32.9MB for a 1 minute audio clip in stereo ...

higher bitrate=good.
going from high to lower bitrate=no problem
downsampling=ok, but potential is high for aliasing and other anomolies.

i'm glad you can afford to use a whole hd for one song.....


thanks for the fast response.

I see what you're getting at ...

24/96 sounds better but is a complete waste of resources imho, especially if you are going to downsample to 44.1......
my suggestion, work at 24/44.1 or just know that you'll not be able to do a whole lot with your computer, as 96k will eat resources, both ...

a couple quick points: 1), I've tested all the settings and haven't really noticed the time lag and all, so the actual time lag is only really noticeable by my father. I'll have to verify whether or not it's necessary to have the highest ULLI (though with the studio we have, it SHOULD be able to ...

You should stick to properly setting up ASIO first, forget about the Wave Source/Dest playing stuff. When ASIO works well, you can do the Wave Source/Dest debugging, otherwise you might end up ping-ponging back and forth between the too.


Therein lies the ...

Okay, further testing ensues. I've managed to all but eliminate the pops and crackles by simply changing the ULLI up one level (from 1ms to 2ms under 96khz). However, They happen constantly when the Wave Source is connected and a wave file is playing. I haven't tried all the way up to the worst ULLI ...

Okay, I hate regressing. Now, no matter what modules I use, suddenly Sonar no longer is recording any audio. I've got no errors reported anywhere, and I've tried most of the ASIO 1 modules, as well as 2 of the ASIO 2 modules, each one always set to DL1 and DR1 from IL1 and IR1. (Scope Z-Link A ...

Well my father's statement on using an EQ before Scope was that we have a special audio chamber (inside a boat) and to properly EQ it in this boat is a good idea, esp. if it can be set and just left that way. That way, when it goes into scope, it's already EQ'd to flat response, or whatever (I'm ...

Arkadin: I don't think there's a problem with the chinese manufacturing, unless it's honestly lower quality. At this point, we want the best studio equipment we can get for the lowest price. My father actually thinks the Focusrite Red 1 module is excellent, but still too pricy, and the lack of the ...

Well with Sonar in mind, what ASIO module should I use? (assuming 24/96 audio) I've tested a few - obviously the ASIO1 modules only. I was just about to use the ASIO 24 module, before I had to leave for lunch.

Would you like a screenshot of the settings I have set in Scope 4?

And by changing ...

Thanks very much for the help you two. But my troubles continue, sadly. I've gotten ASIO to be recognized and basically working in Sonar, BUT...

Now I've introduced a LOT of crackles and whistles and pops.. But it's very weird, because it only happens when I add effects AND audio in Sonar. AS I'm ...

Well I've talked it over with my father and he's actually likes the ACT-2 unit, as even though the Scope can do this stuff, setting things right for the environment and leaving them that way is preferable to having to set it every time you set up a new project. He also likes the VU meter. We're not ...

Nevermind this message, my father doesn't want the focusrite unit, and has decided to opt for something with an EQ at the least, if not a compressor as well. (it was for a Focusrite Red 1 unit which is WAY too expensive, but was just right, or so I thought)

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited ...

On an aside, Arkadin, those two products have now raised the question of whether or not I need EQs and/or Compressors for the mics in the studio, or if Scope can handle all that work itself.

Thanks for the quick response to everyone..

at0m: That unit definitely looks like it would do the job, but unfortunately, I don't have the skills or the time for making one of those. I guess that's why purchasing professional gear is so expensive.

Mr Arkadin: Both of those only support 2 mics, and ...

Just like it says, that's what I need. We have 2 condenser mics which require phantom power, and the A16 Ultra doesn't provide this. We also need it to be run through a preamp (which usually has phantom power anyway). We will most likely have a third mic, and may even have a fourth, but beyond that ...

Okay, I remember a long time ago looking through these forums and seeing just how difficult it is to find some manner of tutorial to get ASIO running in SFP 4 (not in XTC mode as XTC mode works perfect for me now). I remember finding a FAQ or something like that, but after 5 hours of searching ...

Well Scope was telling me that the interface wasn't right for my I/O plate (or something to that effect - fixed the problem so I forget what it was).

Okay, it has been a long while, but I'm finally getting the studio on board this boat in a much more complete and concise system. I'm now running a scope professional with Z-Link plate, and an A-16 Ultra plugged into that. Lots of other fun stuff too.

The problem is, I've switched out the I/O plate ...
