Hallo everybody,
I was trying to connect my QU-24 (firmware 1.6) with my laptop using the USB B. It did record fine but if tried to play it back it sounded like the first +/-10msec repeated. On the laptop it looked like it was playing everything. Only if i armed 1 of the tracks sometimes it works ok, but a lot of times the same thing happened.
While playback i have all my channals set to USB B.
I use Windows 8.1 and SONAR 6 Producer Edition(x64).Is there somebody who can tell me what i am doing wrong?
2015/02/08 at 4:00 pm #45111So you were just getting a tight loop of the first snippet of audio on all the channels? Is the recording OK (listening to each track from a direct sound card)?
what length/fatness of cable?
2015/02/08 at 8:35 pm #45125Hallo Bob,
I am getting a tight loop of audio on all channels. Its not always the beginning of the song. If I let the song begin for example at 0:01.30 then there it happens. I have listened to every channels solo while it was looping and I could tell that it was looping that channal at that time in the song. If I hit “stop” and than “play” again then (sometimes) it plays all channals correct.
I have tried this with different files all recorded with the QU-drive. They all do the same. If I play the wav files in Windows Media Player” then there is no problem so I don’t think the files are corrupt.
The cabel that I am using is a standerd USB cabel, Length 1,5m. I don’t know the fatness of the cable but recording with it was no problem.
I just can’t understand why it sometimes is working if one track is armed for recording.
2015/02/08 at 8:43 pm #45126Did you try larger ASIO buffers? Not every hardware is capable to handle that quantity (2×24) of concurrent audio channels with smallest buffers.
2015/02/08 at 9:05 pm #45127Hallo Andreas,
I will try this soon. What is a normal size for the ASIO buffer. Its the first time I do recording so the settings in the software are all new for me.
I have added a printscreen from the ASIO settings in the software but the QU-24 was not connected at momment that I made the printscreen so maybe not all settings you see are correct.

You should find a Qu USB Control Panel (red ampersand) in your tray, there you can check and adjust ASIO buffer sizes. If you don’t do overdubs a larger buffer (i.e. 2048) is most stable. If you like to do overdubs to your record you likely want to adjust a smaller buffer. Try 256 for example, and if that works the next smaller (128) etc.
2015/02/09 at 8:48 pm #45169Still no luck. I tried all buffer sizes and different options like “Safe”, “Standard”, “Riliable” etc. Does not make any difference.
If I arm more tracks the problem is allmost gone.2015/02/28 at 10:45 am #45628Hello everybody
Its working fine when i use Reaper. So its not a hardware or driver problem but a setting in Sonar. If there is somebody with a solution plz let me know. Else i’m going to buy Reaper.
