Hey DJx,
Got something to slide by you and see what you think.
Now we both have delta cards in some of our machines, and you know
about the monitor mixer to dump audio back and forth between applications.
I've always done so, but usually both apps are at 44.1
I've recently jumped up to 24-96 recording,
but I want to dump 44.1 mixes.
Now I can actually hear pitch variance, rounding errors when I dither
down via sonar, or sound forge from 96 to 44.1 but I can't when
dumping across the bus, with the monitor mixer.
But I'm wondering if maybe bits are being truncated, none the less.
Because it's a digital dump across the 36 bit bus, and I wonder how
the delta card is translating sample rates.
It sounds pretty good, but I wonder if I might be better off hooking
a patch cord between two separate interfaces even on two separate
machines and doing it the way we did it back in the day,
even if it means another d to a translation, because this ensures you
really dump exactly what you hear, and it get's re-captured again,
even at a lower format, there's no funny stuff going on with the bit stream.
Even though deltqa manual says you can sarfely dump stuff across the
bus this way, I'm a little suspicious of going between sampling rates.
What do you say, think there's anything to this?

You want your audio interface to be used specificly for audio work,
all windows sounds, jaws speech, anything els should go through a
separate sound card. The fact that windows always wants control over
devices and other programs as well is an issue, not to mention that
you have a range of sample rates going to the same card, this will
cause probs in recording systems. Jaws for example uses a low
quality 22k if not lower sample rate, if your interface needs to run
at 44.1 and it doesn't want to keep on switching, you'll have
problems with sound, or there'll be issues as the interface converts
jaws samples up to the 44.1 if it is the way the drive was set to
code. Even if say you have jaws set to a different output on a
multichannel interface, the drivers/device is all ran on the same
clock and system, so this will still be an issue...
The same goes for windows xp sounds, though i believe vista and 7
all use 44.1 samples. Still, it isn't a good idea to share your
audio interface unlsee it's between programs that are doing the same
kind of work, say sound forge and sonar. Everything else should be
sent to a sound card, not audio interface.
HTH, D!J!X!

Subject: [Jsonar] jaws not acting right
I have a question why cant you run jaws and sonar on the same sound
card? When I try to do it sonar and or jaws seems to not want to
function properly and that kind of boggles the mind. If someone
could tell me something to do about this issue or tell me to leave
it alone that would be nice. lol
thanks
shawn
