My Cakewalk Sonar & MOTU audio system don’t seem to get as many tracks as they should without dropping out. I’m using WDM/MME drivers. What can I do to get better performance?
One thing to try is to make sure you have the latest version of Sonar: 2.2. This includes ASIO drivers which work well with the MOTU and it’s a free update from Sonar 2.x series.
If you still prefer to use WDM drivers, you can edit the AUD.INI file in the C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Sonar 2 folder. Under [Wave] (about 1/3 of the way down), add/edit this line to read:
KsUseInputEvent=1
It may be set to =0 or it may not exist. Save this file and launch Sonar again. It should help WDM performance.
