I have Cakewalk PA9 installed on my system - which is a Gateway Performance 400 w/128 megs of Ram. I haven't had the opportunity, as yet, to really work with it the program, but wanted to know if my system was strong (speedy) enough to gain proper benefit of said program. The situation here is not within multiple track recording...just me.
 
Well, it would help to know what kind of processor the Gateway Performance 400 has... also the motherboard chipset, and hard drive specs -- is it UDMA33? UDMA66? Is the hard drive a 5400 rpm drive or a 7200 rpm drive?

Did you check the minimum requirements for Pro Audio 9? If your machine is above this level, it will probably work quite nicely. Right at this level, it will probably work but not optimally.
 
It will probably work, but as AlChuck just stated, it probably won't be "optimized".

You need to let us know:

What kind of processor?

What kind of OS?

How fast is your HD (rpm)?



spin

All I can say about my processor is that it's stated as a 'Genuine Intel Pentium(R) ll (which, I know, isn't saying much) @ 398 MHZ. My OS is Win98. I don't know what the speed rate of my hard drive is, and don't know where I could locate that info. My system is about two years old (or better), so it is quite likely that my hard drive is travels at the slower rate. As far as CakeWalk is concerned, I went to their website to check out what the system requirements were. With the processing speed I am in a somewhat satisfactory position, but find myself just borderline with the RAM. I didn't obtain the manual with this program (a gift from an out of town relative, who moved on to CUBASE) but felt that I didn't need it for what I intended to do with the program (it is solely used to record vocals against the lined in music from my stand alone music sequencer). I think that I should contact him, for the manual anyway, because it appears that it may be needed after all. Thanks to you (and AlChuck) for your replies.
