Will I get low latency with Cakewalk's Sonar?

FAQ
The kX driver is a kernel-streaming WDM driver, and a latency as low as 10 ms can be expected under Sonar (depending on your hardware/software setup). Currently, DirectSound2D and DirectSound3D are fully supported. DirectSound3D support is under constant development, however it can cause issues with some games. Any offers to help with implementing support for DirectSound3D would be gladly accepted (skilled programmers only please!).

Can I achieve lower latency by building a low-latency kernel?

Ultra-Videoconferencing FAQ
Our experience has been that the low-latency kernel provides no discernable improvement with respect to reducing audio and video latency and suffers from a decrease in stability. We would be interested to hear of more recent user experience with respect to this factor.

Frequently Asked Questions - Symmetricom QoE Assurance Divis...
The time between initiating a request for data and the beginning of the actual data transfer. Network latency is the delay introduced when a packet is momentarily stored, analyzed and then forwarded. Latency in a packet-switched network is measured either one-way (the time from the source sending a packet to the destination receiving it), or round-trip (the time from the source sending a packet to the source receiving a response).

VoIP Frequently Asked Questions
Latency is the time it takes for a packet to travel from one end of the link to the other (or, latency is one half the round-trip time to the link address).

What is transmission latency?

Support - Frequently Asked Questions - Nationwide Internet
Latency refers to the amount of time it takes a packet of data to travel across a network. With satellite service, that data must travel up to the satellite and back (about 45,000 miles). This round trip adds about a half-second delay to the total time your computer takes to communicate with a Website or host server.

What is CL or CAS Latency?

All of Memory FAQ
CL stands for CAS Latency. It is a programmable register in the SDRAM that sets the number of clock cycles between the issuance of the READ command and when the data comes out. Smaller number for CL indicates faster SDRAM within the same frequency. The first number of the 2-2-2 designation refers to CAS latency, so in short you are asking the advantage of a CAS latency of 2 over one of 3.

What settings should I use in Sonar?

Echo Digital Audio Corporation
SONAR supports ASIO and WDM/KS for low-latency access to audio hardware. The ASIO mode performs well and is straightforward to set up, requiring no special configuration. If you want to adjust the buffer size when Sonar is running, you do this in Options/Audio/General/ASIO Panel. If you prefer, you can also use SONAR in WDM/KS mode. Here are the required settings for using SONAR with our driver in WDM/KS mode: On the “Driver Profiles” tab, uncheck “Access Driver In Mono”.

Can I fire two or more sonar's at the same time?

Ultrasonic Rangers SRF04
No! If two or more sonar's are fired together then they could pick up each other "ping" resulting in a false readings. Fire them sequentially 65mS apart Yes! We do this all the time on our test robot, firing 8 SRF08's at the same time. They are facing outwards and fitted around a 15inch diameter circle. The gain is set to minimum and they are fired using the I2C general call at address 0, and read individually at their set addresses.

When I record MIDI, Cakewalk gives me doubled notes. What's wrong?

Cakewalk - Frequently Asked Questions
You'll need to determine if this is a recording problem or a playback problem. To determine which one it is you'll need to start with a new file in Cakewalk. Click the Record button and play 4 notes. Stop recording and open the Event list view from Cakewalk's View menu. If you see 8 note events look at the Channel column in the Event list. If there are 2 different Channel numbers listed in this column, then your instrument is transmitting on multiple channels.
