Hi everyone, this may have been discussed prior to me joining this list I don't know, but I know something like this was mentioned on Midimag although no conclusion was reached as I recall.
OK basically, I'm getting amazingly sluggish behaviour in Sonar 6.2 with CT. Having done some playing around, this problem occurs only when there is audio loaded on to at least one track as far as I can tell.
I did experience something like this with JSonar and Sonar 5, although it wasn't as severe. Basically the worsed behaviour is with stopping playback with spacebar. One can hit space to stop playback, and using my stop-watch I timed Sonar's response at nearly 30 seconds yesterday. This is completely random however; sometimes it's 5 seconds, sometimes it's 30, I haven't worked out why this is.
I have also noticed with CT, that moving up and down in the track view between track strips is faster over midi tracks than over audio tracks. This makes me wonder if the sluggish behaviour has anything to do with the graphical representations of peaks displayed on audio track strips.
I have also noticed that using the transport controlls on my FW1884 causes an instant response for stopping and starting audio as far as Sonar is concerned, but CT takes an age to catch up; like I press stop on the FW, and CT takes up to 6 or 7 seconds to anounce the fact. Could this possibly mean that the problem has to do with the way Sonar and CT process keystrokes?
This is really pretty serious as it's slowing down my work considerably, and I am trying to run a business here!
Insedentally, my DAW is a 3.4 GHZ Intel Core-2 Duo, 2 gigs of DDR 2 ram, 3 120 gig 7500 Sata harddrives, 4 meg cache, 256 meg ATI Duel-head graphics card (with one head disabled), Intel Firewire PCI card, Taskam FW1884 system, Windows XP SP2, no anti-virus or spyware active.
Also can anyone tell me why CT has been written so that switching to controll-surface mode is easy enough, but that as soon as you hit any key on the keyboard, you're switched back to keyboard mode again? That's stupid! You need to be able to use both the keyboard and the controll-surface in order to work efficiently! You shouldn't have to keep manually switching into controll-surface mode every time you want to use it!
I do hope some usefull feedback comes soon. Many thanks in advance,Matt
