#Using ux2 with cakewalk by bandlab windows

Orth noting that both the Audiophile and the UX2 can work in WDM mode, although the UX2 will lose some of its recording functionality.Īs such, it uses a large hidden safety buffer (which raises round-trip latency) to help prevent dropouts/glitches. Please give the above a shot and post back with the results. If everything is cool, you should hear the MP3 playing back with no dropouts or crackles. Then try to see if you get decent latency and sound quality with no effects on an audio track for your guitar.Įven before you were to go out and pick up an adapter for plugging your guitar in, you could still check the sound quality with Sonar and the M-Audio interface by starting a new project, inserting an audio track, selecting that audio track, importing an MP3 to that track, and simply hitting play.

Then you can configure Sonar to use the M-Audio, in ASIO mode - I suggest setting the Sample rate for both Sonar and the interface to 44.1, with a bit-depth of 16 for starters. IF that works OK, then since your M-Audio does not have any 1/4' jacks for plugging in your guitar, you would need an adapter (Radio Shack sells those for like $3-$5 I believe) to allow you to plug your guitar into your M-Audio interface.

Make that the default audio device for your system and try playing something through Windows Media Player once you are using the M-Audio interface, and then post back the results. If the UX2 is not cutting it for you then unplug it and re-insert your M-Audio interface. You definitely do want multiple audio interfaces plugged in and trying to use ASIO drivers. So is there an alternative box (like the Line 6 Pod 2.0?) I can use going the pci route or would this not work out? The inputs on the audiophile include female RCA (phono)Īs things stand, using the audiophile card, I can generate fairly decent backing tracks - but have not succeeded in finding the issue with my UX2 (which is USB 1.1, I believe). I have an M-Audio 2496 audiophile pci sound card, and I was wondering if it was possible to maybe buy one of these Pod devices (or similar) with the guitar effects on board, and connect it to the audiophile card's inputs thus bypassing usb and the latency issue.

Leaving the cause of the problem to one side(and another thread) I was wondering if you could advise me on possible alternatives to a usb solution. Alternatives to Line 6 UX2 and usb latency by using audio in on a pci sound card?įor reasons unknown I have been having big problem with drop-outs when I try to record guitar through my Line 6 UX2 to record in Sonar X1.
