DropoutMsec=<num> Integer 250 Under high system load conditions, the SONAR
audio pump mechanism may become starved.
When this condition is detected, SONAR drops
out. The DropoutMsec variable allows you to
configure the tolerance time in milliseconds. This
variable applies to all driver modes.
Setting DropoutMsec to a positive value > 0
specifies the actual time in milliseconds to tolerate
before dropping out due to starvation.
Setting DropoutMsec to a negative value < 0
means we use a multiple of the audio buffer size
as the tolerance. i.e. -2 means we use twice the
audio buffer size.
Note that setting this value too low (e.g. 0) can
result in more frequent dropouts in the program. If
you notice too many dropouts, try raising it in
buffer multiples or by explicitly specifying a
millisecond value.
SuspendPluginsOnBounce=<0
or 1>
Boolean 1 This is a line in the [Wave] section of the
Aud.ini file that controls whether VST plug-ins
are suspended and resumed prior to starting a
bounce operation.
When set to 1 (default), VST plug-ins are
suspended and resumed both before and after the
bounce process. This flushes any residual buffers
that might be present from plugins that have
internal latency.
ShowMultiChannelInputs =
<0 or 1>
Boolean 1 This is a line in the Wave section of the Aud.ini
file that specifies whether SONAR uses
multichannel audio devices as multiple stereo
pairs or just a single stereo pair.
ShowMultiChannelOutputs=
<0 or 1>
Boolean 1 This is a line in the Wave section of the Aud.ini
file that specifies whether SONAR uses
multichannel audio devices as multiple stereo
pairs or just a single stereo pair.
MinimizeDriverStateChanges
=<0 or 1>
Boolean 1 This is a line in the Wave section of the
Aud.ini file that controls whether or not audio
devices are reset in response to transport changes
(play/stop).
Valid values are as follows:
0 = off.
1 = On for ASIO only (default).
2 = On for WDM only.
3 = On for both ASIO and WDM.
