Why Do I Get Errors from the Wave
Profiler?
Audio devices such as voice modems or speakerphone devices can cause an error
message when running the Wave Profiler. Sometimes these errors are harmless; on
other occasions you need to disable the voice modem or speaker-phone device
before running the Wave Profiler. To do so:
1. Choose Options-Audio and click the Drivers tab.
2. Make sure that the voice modem or speaker-phone device is not selected in
both the Input and Output device lists.
3. Click OK.
4. Choose Options-Audio, click the General tab, and run the Wave Profiler
again.
I Hear an Echo When I Record
If you have input monitoring enabled, when you play an instrument that is
plugged into your sound card, you hear the direct signal that goes straight through
your sound card, and an instant later you hear the sound that is processed by
SONAR, including any plug-in effects you may be using. Only the processed sound
is recorded.
You can eliminate the echo in either of two ways:
• Mute the direct signal so you only hear the sound that is processed by
SONAR. If you choose this method, you may hear too much of a lag between
the time you play your instrument and the time you hear it, depending on the
latency of your system (using WDM audio drivers is a great way to achieve
lower latency).
• Disable input monitoring so you only hear the raw signal that’s coming
through your sound card. If you choose this method, you won’t hear any plug-
in effects you may be using.
To disable input monitoring:
• On the track where you want to disable input monitoring, click the track’s
Input Echo button so that it is in the off position:
To mute your sound card’s direct sound:
1. Open the software mixer that controls your sound card. If your sound card
uses the Windows mixer, open the mixer by using the Start-Programs-
Accessories-Entertainment-Volume Control command, or by double-
clicking the speaker icon on the Windows taskbar.
