Bouncing tracks takes a long time

By default, SONAR uses a buffer for bouncing tracks that is the same size as the (Mixing Latency) Buffer Size value that you set in Edit > Preferences > Audio - Driver Settings. But with some projects, especially ones that use certain soft synths, the bounce buffer needs to have its own value.

To change the BounceBufSizeMsec value

1.

Go to Edit > Preferences > Audio - Configuration File.

2.

In the Properties list, change the BounceBufSizeMsec value to 100, or a value between 0 and 350 so that the bounce buffer will use a more efficient size for bouncing, which has different requirements from normal playback latency.

Note: At a value of 0, the bounce buffer is the same size as the (Mixing Latency) Buffer Size value that you set in Edit > Preferences > Audio - Driver Settings.

For more information, see AUD.INI.
