Hello,
I am running win 7 64bit and Sonar with a Firepod and an HT-Omega Claro Plus.
My computer has AMD x6 and 8 gigs ddr3 ram. So it should be fast but i notice more CPU usage when running the Firepod as the recording and playback device in the driver options. I recorded 4 tracks using a total of 6 VST plugin effects and no MIDI (just record guitar parts, bass and Drum VST. CPU load during playback with the Fire-pod is around 9-10% while through the HT-Omega is 0-1% so naturally i would want to use this. 9-10% on the Firepod seams rather high given my system specs.
I have updated drivers for everything and original thought it might be caused by the bit rate set at different values for each device but this was not the case. I have tried it with both 48 and 44.1. I was not holding my breath that this would work just I just thought i would try it.
In the driver menu under audio options i can select one device and the rest are greyed out. Can i select the HTOMEGA as the output and the Firepod as input using ASIO driver mode.
If this is not a possibility can somehow connect the s/pdif input on the Sound card (HTOMEGA) to the S/pdif output on the Firepod and just use the HTOMEGA drivers as the input and output. Would this work? I really want to use the Firepod in some way because of the phantom power inputs rather than buy a new recording interface (spent enough money on this new build already).
Thanks for reading and i really appreciate any help.
