Cakewalk Sonar X1 - setting up your audio device

[yoaverez]

What do you do if your audio device isn't in that list? if this is a new audio device you just added (like a USB Microphone). How do I refresh that list and force sonar to re-scan for devices?

Set the track to a mono track input - your issue is that your mic is a mono source; the audio track should be taking input from just one input channel (such as input 1), rather than from a combined stereo source.

That's latency, it means that you need to edit the buffer settings for your audio device, get them as low as you can if you want to do live monitoring.

If you're sending a mic in, the mic will only be on one side of the audio spectrum. Set the input of the channel strip to be only the one mic in, rather than a stereo mic in, and you should be ok.

@yoaverez Check that all the proper drivers are installed for your new audio device.

Sure that your audio device's drivers are installed correctly?

Can you use your laptop as a way of recording? I have no external items yet. I did see a few devices under the list the first time I tried but now they are gone. . .
