I would suggest you download and run a freeware program called DPC Latency Checker.
Audio interfaces can range from around $100 up to lots more than that, with reasonable ones running around $200, for a few inputs/outputs, pre-amps, and converters. This makes a HUGE difference in terms of reducing the load on your computer, and generally is HUGELY beneficial at reducing and/or eliminating dropouts. In addition to them being having differing numbers of inputs and outputs, as well as pre-amps and differing levels of quality in their digital/analog convertors, the universally best feature of them is that they move the workload of processing that signal away from your computer's CPU - in other words, they take on the job of doing all of the work of the analog to digital and digital to analog conversion.
IF you are using on-board sound, you may want to consider picking up a dedicated audio interface. There are lots of causes for this, such as programs running that are either memory or CPU-intensive, a slow CPU, too little memory, slow hard drive transfer, etc. Dropouts occur due to the inability of the computer to process the audio at the sample rate and bit-depth that it is set to. I thank you in advance for reading this and i really hope some people answer to help me, cause i really wanna start making some of my own music )Īre you using your internal sound card? If so, there may be too much going on for it to handle what is being asked of it.
Are there any other solutions for making my MIDI file work instead of changing my driver mode? So I'm reaching in the dark and really need some help.
When I put it on the standard driver mode MME 32 bit i can hear sound on my internet but my MIDI file doesn't play all the given instructions. So when i change my driver mode to WASAPI my midi files work perfectly but i can't hear any sound on the internet. However, when i went on the internet like youtube, i couldn't hear any sound. I heard on a forum that you have to change your driver mode to fix this problem, so I went to preferences and i changed my driver mode from MME 32 bit to WASAPI and then my MIDI file was played correctly the way it should be. When i place my midi file (set of instructions for a drum) on the track and i play it on playback i only hear a couple of instructions and not all of them which isn't normal. Hello people if i can have a moment of your time, I have Sonar X1 LE and i have a problem when I want to put a MIDI file in a track. SONAR X1 LE MIDI file does not play all given instructions on specific driver mode
