When you choose to migrate preferences, SONAR migrates the following settings
from an earlier Cakewalk version:
Running Wave Profiler
The first time you start SONAR, it automatically runs the Wave Profiler utility.
Wave Profiler determines the proper MIDI and Audio timings for your sound card
and writes them to a file that SONAR refers to when using the card. Wave Profiler
does not change the sound card’s DMA, IRQ, or port address settings.
Wave Profiler detects the make and model of your sound card, which determine the
card’s audio characteristics. If Wave Profiler finds a card that has a WDM driver, it
only profiles that card. If you want to use more than one sound card at a time, and
they don’t both have WDM drivers, you must force the one with the WDM driver to
use that driver as an older, MME driver. It is not necessary to run the Wave
Profiler for a sound card using an ASIO driver. For more information about Wave
Profiler, WDM, and MME, see “The Wave Profiler” on page 628. When Wave
Profiler determines the kind of card you have, always accept the default settings.
Setting… Description
Global Options Settings in the Global Options dialog. Open

Key Bindings Your customized key bindings for
controlling SONAR using your MIDI
keyboard or computer keyboard.

Audio data directory (WaveData
folder) and Picture Cache directory
locations
SONAR uses the Data directory and Picture
Cache directories from the previous
Cakewalk version for storing project wave
files and their waveform image files.
Note:
You can run the Wave Profiler again at a later time (for example, if
you install a new sound card or driver) by choosing the Options-
Audio General tab command and clicking Wave Profiler.
