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/. 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.
