Checking this option can improve
performance on specific 24-bit audio
hardware systems (for example, the
Sonorus STUDI/O card). By choosing this
option, you are instructing Cakewalk to
skip its expensive 24-bit data packing
operation, and allowing the audio
hardware to do this work instead. Please
contact your hardware manufacturer to
determine if their drives support this "24-
bit unpacked" data format.
When the Unpack > 16 bit audio option
is enabled, you may select whether you
want this data aligned to the least
significant bit ("right justified") or to the
most significant bit ("left justified").
Many sound cards, including the Yamaha
DSP Factory, expect their data to be left
justified. Enabling this option ensures
that 16-bit audio will work properly on
these sound cards.
With this option audio playback starts (or
triggers) at the exact timecode, but then
the audio plays at its own internal rate.
The audio can gradually drift away from
SMPTE time due to variations in the
timecode signal.
With this option the speed of audio
playback is continuously adjusted to stay
with the timecode.
How to use it. . .
This field shows the name of the sound
card driver that the displayed settings are
for.
Select this option if you have sync
problems between MIDI and audio tracks.
(In earlier Cakewalk versions, this option
was available as the AltTiming=1
variable in AUDMM.INI.)
