An audio interface lets you connect microphones, instruments, headphones, and speakers to your computer for recording and playback in Cakewalk Sonar.
Before getting started, connect your audio interface to your computer and install the latest driver provided by the manufacturer, if one is available.
Set Up Your Audio Interface in Cakewalk Sonar
- Connect and turn on your audio interface before opening Cakewalk Sonar.
- Open Cakewalk Sonar.
- Go to Edit > Preferences, or press P to open Preferences.
- Go to Audio > Devices.
- Under Driver Mode, select ASIO if your audio interface has a dedicated ASIO driver.
- Under ASIO Device, select your audio interface.
- Make sure the inputs and outputs you want to use are enabled under Input Drivers and Output Drivers.
- Click Apply, then OK to save your changes.
If Your Device Does Not Have a Dedicated ASIO Driver
You can use a compatible ASIO wrapper, such as ASIO4ALL or Steinberg Built-in ASIO. Select ASIO as the Driver Mode, then select the wrapper under ASIO Device.
ASIO wrappers are third-party solutions and may introduce compatibility or audio issues that Cakewalk Support may not be able to troubleshoot. If you experience problems when using an ASIO wrapper, switch the Driver Mode to WASAPI Shared instead.
When available, we recommend using the dedicated ASIO driver provided by your audio interface manufacturer.
Your audio interface should now be ready to use with Cakewalk Sonar.
