NAARR™

Cakewalk defaults to using WDM drivers. This allows multiple

audio interfaces to be used in the program. This is a pretty good

idea, however with ERGO, it does not result in the best audio

performance.

If this is a new installation and ERGO is your only FireWire

interface, set SONAR for

ASIO mode by going into the Options

menu in the toolbar and selecting

Audio.

When the screen pop-up window appears, click the

Advanced

tab.

Select

ASIO in the Driver Mode pull down menu.

Click the

General tab. Make sure your Playback and Recording

Timing Master settings are set to

ERGO ASIO A Outputs.

(Figure 8)

This should get things up and running. If you experience audio

dropouts or weirdness, check the Cakewalk site for information

on how to optimize your system to minimize audio artifacts.

Existing SONAR Installations

If you have a working SONAR installation, then the

recommended way to use ERGO is in SPDIF or Analog Input

modes. Just insert ERGO between your current monitors and

your audio interface. Use ERGO’s FireWire drivers only for

running the calibration software. Once you have calibrated the

system, you can uninstall the FireWire drivers or disable them

using the Windows Control Panel.
