Pow-r types 2 and 3, lower perceived loudness than Rectangular or
Triangular. Disadvantages: less noise shaping than Pow-r types 2 and
3, not recommended for operations where dither will be applied
successively (e.g. bounce and freeze).
• Pow-r 2—noise-shaped dither. Advantages: lowest perceived loudness,
highest quality settings, recommended for audio export. Disadvantages:
highest CPU-intensive settings, not recommended for operations where
dither will be applied successively (e.g. bounce and freeze).
• Pow-r 3—same as Pow-r 2 except most CPU-intensive and transparent
of all choices.
• Share Drivers With Other Programs—This option allows other software
to access device drivers. When this option is checked, other software
can access device drivers when SONAR is not the focus of Windows.
• Use Multiprocessing Engine—This option is grayed out unless you
have a multiprocessor computer. If you have a multiprocessor
computer, check this option if you want SONAR to use both processors
at all times. If you do not check this option, SONAR still uses the
second processor for some tasks.
• Use MMCSS (Windows Vista)—This option is grayed out unless you
