you want to record from the M-16DX. To record
•

select the desired Left or Right M-16DX channel.

Setting the Track's Output
From the track's Output popup menu at the bottom of the strip,
1
select Master.

Turn Off Software Monitoring
As we noted in the Using the M-16DX with a DAW Workshop booklet,
you do have the option of listening through SONAR LE if you want to
hear its effects as you record. However, since you'll encounter latency
doing this, we recommend listening directly through the M-16DX.
If the track's channel strip isn't visible, click the track in the Track
1
window.
Click the channel's Input Echo button so it's
2
not lit.

Troubleshooting

If you have any problems playing or recording audio in SONAR LE, check its
built-in online Help in the Help menu. As we noted in the Using the M-16DX
with a DAW booklet, you can also find Windows XP troubleshooting tips at
MusicXP.net at http://musicxp.net/tuning_tips.php.
You can also click the ASIO Panel... button in the Audio Options window—
this opens the M-16DX's control pane. Raising the Audio Buffer Size value can
reduce pops and clicks, though it will also increase latency if you're working
with soft synths in SONAR LE. Likewise, you may want to try checking the
Use Smaller ASIO Buffer Size ASIO Setting checkbox.
