setting, you will need to exit and then restart Sonar.)

tware.

or applications like Sonar

that support both WDM and

ASIO modes, you may want

to experiment with each to

see if either mode offers

greater stability. Alesis

generally recommends using

ASIO mode when possible.

limitation of the WDM

architecture is that, each time

you change between “low”

(44.1/48), “medium”

(88/2/96), and “high”

(176.4/192) sample rates, the

WDM profiler needs to be

run again.

Therefore, when changing

amngst these sample rates,

first close SONAR,then

change the sample rate on the

Alesis control panel. Finally,

re-open SONAR and allow its

WDM profiler to run again.
