Sonar questions

Ok I just picked up Sonar after my old Cakewalk recording software couldn't use Amplitube as a plugin. Ok I ran into a problem I can't seem to fix.

I get no output when trying to record.

My input is fine the audio track meter shows green but there is no action on the effects meter or the master meter. I tried re routing the out put from the audio track but everything I've tried hasn't helped. I can get it to work if I put the echo audio button active but that is quite impractiical. I noticed in the Amplitube VST window that the input meter and output meter both don't show anything so I thought that must be the problem but even if I try recording dry I get nothing. After I record for a sec without any sound. I can hear the playback I just want sound while I'm recording dammit. :o

So what did I miss?

plug-ins only work post-recording, not pre-recording. You would have to use Amplitube Live to be able to hear anything other than just your dry guitar when recording.

I tried it without anything but the dry signal and still got nothing. :confused:

Go into the audio setup in Sonar and make sure the right drivers and outputs/inputs are selected. Then, go into your computer's/soundcards audio control and make sure the right inputs and outputs are selcted, and nothing is muted that's not supposed to be.

I had exactly the same problem... and I never figured it out properly.

I was short on time, so in the end I bought a new soundcard and set it all up again (sold the old one on ebay and made a profit... but anyway)...

I think on the basis that the new hardware worked for me, it's got to be connected to the drivers for whatever your input device is...

I have sonar also. And did have this problem.
After messing with all the I/O devices for what seems like forever, I got it working.
But I have a latency issue.
The sound comes out of the speakers a second after its played on the guitar.
Any Idea on how to fix that one?
I was running straight to the soundcard through a cable adapter.
Not the best setup but all I have.

(need to get me a digitech 3000 or gnx4 to record with)

Marcos, did you ever figure this one out dude?
