Edirol Audio Interface setup for Cakewalk software


Close your Cakewalk program if it is open.  On the back of the interface, check the Sample Rate switch.  Make sure it is set to the sample rate you intend to use.  44.1 is standard for CD and is a good choice if you’re unsure.  If you change this switch, power cycle the interface (turn it off and on) before continuing. 

There is also an “Advance” switch on some Edirol interfaces.  Make sure that switch is in the ON position.

In SONAR, click Options | Audio | Advanced.  Set your Driver Mode to ASIO.  Restart the program. 

Next, Click Options | Audio:

On the Drivers tab: Make sure your Edirol interface is selected under both inputs and outputs.  If it appears grayed out, deselect all drivers first then select the Edirol interface.  If changes are made, click OK and restart the program. 

On the general tab: Make sure one of the Edirol drivers is selected as Playback Timing master.  Click OK.  Restart the program if prompted. 

Important:
Now that you’re finished, all audio playback will come from the Edirol itself.  You will need to have speakers hooked to its outputs or headphones hooked the phones port to hear audio playback.
