In Sonar, when you overdub on top of a track that already has an audio clip on it, you can hear the audio clip that's already there, which is awesome if you're trying to punch something in. There's certain editing features in ProTools that seem easier to me (perhaps just b/c I am ignorant of all of Sonar's features), but there are certain things about Sonar which I really like in comparison to the ProTools experience I've had. I've been using ProTools a lot at college, so I've actually gotten fairly comfortable with it, and am now considering switching from Sonar to ProTools. However, there's a new decision I need to make.
#ALESIS IO26 SOUNDCARD DRIVERS#
Alesis has not updated the firmware or drivers for the io26 since March of 2008, and this wouldn't be an issue, except that clearly the unit still has issues.īasically, I am fed up with this shit, so I think it's time to get a new audio interface. Thus, the problem seems to be all the drivers since June of '07. Furthermore, this crackling does not occur if you use the June 2007 drivers. Half the time when I hit play or record in Sonar, the audio is completely garbled and crackling, and I have done tests and figured out it has nothing to do with the buffer setting in the io26 preferences.
#ALESIS IO26 SOUNDCARD DRIVER#
There's also driver issues with the io26. Either way, the issue with the music playback in Winamp is unacceptable.
#ALESIS IO26 SOUNDCARD PC#
Now, you may argue I shouldn't expect an audio interface to perform perfectly for PC games, but I don't see why it shouldn't. What confuses me is that this problem started so suddenly (I didn't attach/install any new hardware or anything), and it wont go away. Raising the "system latency compensation" in the io26 preferences seemed to help, but I was just playing Left 4 Dead on my PC and I got the audio dropping out problem again.
It will happen at leats once every two minutes. I have no idea why this would have occurred.įurthermore, as of two weeks ago, I have started to have an issue where, while listening to music in Winamp, the music will abruptly stop for one second, then resume where it left off after a little pop in the speakers. I fixed this by reinstalling the firmware. The meter wouldn't even go up, but it did for the left channel. A couple months ago, the right channel just completely stopped outputting sound. I have had my Alesis io26 audio interface for a year or two now, and I've been using it with Sonar 7.
