Can be used down to 40 ms latency (2 buffers used), anything lower wont work here. When the FF's settings dialog is *not* open while changing settings in Sonar it often happens that the Buffer Size is reset to 256 samples (as stored in Flash). If any setting higher than 10 ms is chosen the FF's buffer size doesn't seem to matter. If any setting lower than 11 ms is chosen Buffer Size has to be *lowered* via the FF's own settings dialog (128 samples for 10 to 7 ms with a single instance of Additive Drums running, 64 samples for 4 - 6 ms). If any setting lower than 4 ms is chosen Sonar cannot access the the FF anymore (format not supported or in use by another application). Channels are correctly reported as 2 channel / 24-bit.

WASAPI: Works again, but only down to 4 ms (I'm sure I successfully used lower settings in the past, but maybe that was with the FF UC). My guess is that Sonar is not able to access single channel pairs due to the changes from old "Interleave" mode to the current system?! Channels are names as "Fireface Analog (1+2) 1/2 to 7/8" and then Fireface Analog (3+4) to (7+8)" (like it has always been anyway). Sonar's Wave Profiler reports the FF400 as "8 Channels - 32 bit".
#Sonar 8.5 power driver#
According to Sonar the driver either does not support the current format or is in use by another application. WDM/KS: Cannot get it to work at all, tried both exclusive and non-exclusive system settings.

There is definitely something buggy with ASIO, WDM and the newer drivers.įF400 with 3.017 with Sonar 8.5.3 32-bit and 64-bit on Windows 7 64-bitĪSIO: Works with all buffer sizes and no delay (I don't have any big project to test it with though).ģ2-bit Sonar (like any other 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows) still cannot open the FF's settings dialog on its own, but can bring it to front if it's already open in the background (like before). I used to the above error on my Multiface (and on the Fireface 800 when I first got it) if I left Interveave "on." now I have no way of disabling it. So it's not Sonar.Īlso the Interleave setting is now removed from the new driver GUI.
#Sonar 8.5 power install#
If I uninstall the 3.016 drivers, remove the drivers from my computer, then install the 2.9992 drivers everything works fine. Sonar has not changed, and I even tried the highest driver latency (1024 samples). Because of the delay it takes a minute or two for Sonar to even play. Projects that normally would load in Sonar with about 25-30 percent CPU usage with the old drivers now run at 45-55%. Rebooting does not help for either WDM or ASIO.Īlso I get VERY high CPU usage out of the new drivers in ASIO. It tells me the that "the device driver does not support the current format, or are in use by another application." There is no sound because it will not engage the device channels. If I attempt to use WDM (which with the old driver seemed to work better with Sonar) It will not use any of the device channels. When I launch Sonar launched there is a huge delay and all the buttons and knobs run with a delay as well. I have had a same problem with the latest RME driver 3.016, the Fireface 800 and Sonar with a bit of a twist. Mainboard : ASUS m4n72-E (NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI)

The main reason I purchased ff800 is that I had heard a lot of good things about RME driver stability but this problem simply frustrated me. I didn't have this problem with my EMU 1820M and I should say that I'm not new to computer recording. I installed the ff800 on Windows XP 32bit sp3 and the SONAR 8.5.3 32BIT behavior, was exactly the same If not even worse. I used the ASIO with all different latency values but I noticed no change. The Sonar launched with a significant delay and then all the buttons and commands in Sonar( play, arm for record, quantize, audio dialogs, forward, rewind and so many others) acted with some seconds delay. After uninstalling the Emu drivers I installed the ff800 with the latest driver(3.016) and firmware(2.77).Īfter a clear installation on my windows 7 64bit, I launched the sonar 8.5.3 64bit and I noticed a strange behavior. I have just upgraded from EMU 1820M to FireFace800.
