ComputePicturesWhilePlaying=<
1 or 0>
Boolean 1 This option allows waveform pictures to be
computed in the background while audio playback
is in progress. Most modern computers should be
able to handle this load with no problems. Note
that work is only done while new pictures are
actually being computed—once the pictures are
finished rendering there is no overhead.
EnablePicCacheThreads=
<1 or 0>
Boolean 1 This option creates extra background worker
threads for the generation of wave pictures when
you load a project. One worker thread is
automatically created per CPU/core. Setting
EnablePicCacheThreads=0 reverts back to
only using a single thread for picture computation.
If you are running a system with multiple CPU's or
cores setting this to 1 can greatly speed up the
computation of pictures.
FlushWriteBeforeRead=
<1 or 0>
Boolean 0 The default setting causes SONAR to perform disk
reads (for audio playback) before attempting any
disk writes (for audio recording). Overriding this
value by setting it to 1 causes SONAR to attempt
disk writes first. This yields the best results when
you are attempting to record a large number of
tracks at high latency.
FlushMultiple=<0 or 1> Boolean 1 This variable determines how SONAR performs
writes to disk in cases where multiple inputs are
being recorded simultaneously. The default setting
causes SONAR to write all the data for all inputs
all at once, and then wait for the entire set of writes
to complete. Overriding this value by setting it to 0
causes SONAR to perform each input’s write
separately, and wait for each individual write to
complete before proceeding to the next one.
ExtraPluginBufs=
<0 to no upper limit>
integer 0 It instructs SONAR to set aside extra audio data
buffers, to accommodate plug-ins which do large
amount of internal buffering and therefore "keep"
data buffers to themselves. Recommended
maximum setting of 64 or 128.
Use24BitExtensible=<0 or 1> Boolean 0 This line goes in the section of the Aud.ini file
under [name of your sound card (‘n’ in , ‘n’ out) ]. If
you get an error message when you try to change
the audio driver bit depth to 24, try setting this line
to 1. Most USB audio devices that use WDM
drivers need this line set to 1.
