I don't suppose its a latency setting issue is it? Have you checked the
latency setting in the audio options menu? forgive me if this is too
elementary to mention, but go into options menu-> audio options, and press
Alt+z and read the current line. I have mine set to 10%, and it works fine,
but when it was set to around 49% (which was the default setting chosen by
sonar for my soundcard) I had the same latency problem that you mention. Try
setting it (with the arrow keys) to 10, or even less. and then press enter to
OK the dialog. Then try playing again and watch for a better responsiveness of
the keyboard. The lower the latency slider value, the quicker the
responsiveness-but too low, and you can run into audio dropout problems.
Between 7 to 10% is usually fine-at least on my system.
Basically, set it as low as you need to in order that the keyboard responds to
your satisfaction-no lower. There's plenty of info on latency problems in the
cakeTalking tutorials that come with Sonar, as well as the sonar help files.

Hi everyone. I got Sonar working but I have a big problem. I can play
okay on the keyboard and everything's all right. But when I record, it might
take at least a half a second for a note to come after I played it. So if I
played middle c while recording, It might take a half a second before it plays.
And sometimes, the notes don't stop every time I let go. They'll sustain for a
half a second or so. I have one gigabyte of ram, with a yamaha psr540 as my
keyboard, and using the synth that's coming with Sonar. My friend, Tony, said
that some synths might not have enough power or something and they'll be slow
but I don't think that's the case. Any ideas?
