Latency in SONAR 6 and How to freeze track

[majortom]

I'm using Sonar 6 and I instantiate Drumagog (Fixed Latency) before BFD (using the latest beta) as the manual says and I still get quite a bit of latency. The delay seems to be about the same as the sound card buffer (RME AES-32 set at 2048 samples). Because I'm mixing and am using tons o' plugs I can't set it any lower. Any solutions upcoming?

Also how would I go about freezing the BFD track in Sonar 6. When I freeze it, it comes up empty. I ask because I was going to slide the tracks to account for the latency. Should I use the bounce feature instead?

Thanks for your help. This would be the end-all-be-all combination of products if it worked properly.

Nothing?

I believe, in Sonar, you must do a few 'extra' things...

SONAR

Since I use Cubase and not Sonar, I can only relate a few things that might help.

I don't think you need to use the 'fixed latency' version - I think that's for ProTools HD, but I could be wrong.

Also in Cubase, one needs to select 'plug-in delay compensation'. Perhaps there is something similar in Sonar?

Also, within BFD, make sure that the DRUMAGOG box is checked. I can't recall where exactly that can be found.

Hopefully these can help a bit.

Thanks for the help but I've done everything these forums and the manual suggests and still no luck.

Several users have reported this latency issue with Sonar and BFD. We're looking into it. In the mean time, because the latency is consistant, it's a matter of nudging the track by 80ms, and everything should line up perfectly.

Freezing doesn't seem to work, but bounce to track does. Then I can nudge it like you say. Works, but not very elegant. Thanks for looking into it.
