Well perhaps my problem is with SONAR. I’ve loaded the 64 bit stand alone version of Guitar rig and there was very little latency and hiccups while jamming with my guitar plugged straight into the instrument jack on my new Keystation 49i. However when I open up the Guitar Rig audio effects in SONAR there’s much crackling and about a half second delay.
I’m going to switch to the ASIO drivers in SONAR and see if this fixes the issue. If it doesn’t, perhaps I need to shop around for another 64 bit DAW solution.
LUNCH UPDATE Wow the switch to ASIO was the trick…. it’s running like a whole new computer–exactly how I would expect it to (better, in fact) with my quick couple of tests during lunch.
If you’re having issues in SONAR with latency, switch immediately to the ASIO Driver Mode and see if that helps you too!!!
