Video displaying how to setup multiple device i/o offsets in Sonar. A problem many don’t know they have.
Ever wonder why the timing of what you record sounds so off? Well you might just be that off, or you might need to figure out your interface offset. I have yet to see an interface without the need for manual compensation. A/D D/A’s, drivers, & software all contributed to this unavoidable problem.

Great tutorial! thank!!!!
hi vieris , i juz timed my motu MKII 828, and its offseted 559 samples , is that normal?
What software/driver/ & buffer settings are you running with?
hi thx for your prompt reply, i use buffer size 256 in sonar and MK, lantancy form 5.8ms to 75, i didnt make a diff, but i m using an old driver for XP, since their new drivers have some issues with my setup thx!
Are you using the WDM or ASIO?
WDM at the time havent try asio yet , thx for helping
Ahh ok, 559 smpls is pretty normal for wdm..
oh so you suggest asio over wdm?
Typically yes. Most companies put more effort into the ASIO drivers. The wdm drivers are usually just created to handle system sound. You will usually get better performance with ASIO.
ok bro, coz i have 2 cards ,; thx for everything, u rock !!!!
Hey man thank you so much this really did the trick!
Good to hear…
Thanks! I love this tutorial – thanks for sharing!
Do you know about lining up incoming midi notes? I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to adjust for this. With 2 VSTi, i.e. live playing of piano samples to a drum VST; the recorded midi notes for the piano are off on playback – too early or too late. I assume it has to do with playing against the ‘delayed’ drums or PDC mix, and SONAR doesn’t adjust the midi notes per the PDC. I hope that makes sense. Hah. Do you run into this situation?
Anyway, thanks for everything on your website, and for sharing your knowledge. Very interesting and very helpful.
