Okay, Moskus, what have you done with the painting then? :D

I needed to brighten up my living room. Sure the judge will understand that?!

This is the most on-topic thread there is... Should have it's own forum. :D
 
the "hey moskus" forum?

well it does have more posts and views than many of the other forums .... :)
 
Ok, Sonar 4 is here but should I upgrade?
Hmmm I got a pre released version of sonar 3 and to date I have NOT made one single recording with it. I am too buzy with life and trying to make $$ and it seems that I have not had time for recording or practicing or anything.
I also had my daughter move in with us for about 9 months because her Hubby is in the service and went overseas for a year. She came with 2 babies attached who were either making noise or requiring it to be quiet.
I have had some issues with Sonar 3 stalling when I input some tracks and effects and have not worked the bugs out of it. I realize my computer is running all kinds of extraneous background programs since the onslaught of viruses about a year ago. I know that if I decide to use Sonar to record I'll have to disable the Antivirus and Zone alarm if I want to use effects on multiple tracks. Maybe the go-back too.
Freeze function? Sounds good but I may already be frozen :(
What the heck Ive got all this EXTRA money and $99 to go to studio from producer is not much of a hit... but what about the bugs..

Ok Ive decided, if it was $99 to go from producer to producer Id be in, but for now, Im gonna wait. :confused: :p ;) :D :eek:
 
How powerful is your box, Bill? I'm running a 3GHz P4 with 1G Ram. Sonar 3.1.1 for me records and input monitors four tracks at a time quite happily through my Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 using ASIO at 8msec latency.

At the same time, always running and never turned off, are a personal firewall program, an antivirus and even that stupid SETI software searching for extraterrestrial life. Oh yeah - ACPI power management is installed and running as well.

It took me a while to work it out, but if the box is properly configured, then there is no reason why you can't be running this stuff in the background, provided you have enough grunt.

From my perspective, there was a noticeable sound difference between Sonar v2 and v3 and I would invest the time in making it work properly.

Without having seen, or more importantly, heard v4, it's hard to make a judgement call regarding bang for buck. Based solely on the feature list, I'm guessing the more compelling dollar spend for you would be on hardware.

At least that way you let the bleeding edge boys work out the bugs for you when you pick up v4 in six months time...

Ciao,

Q.
 
Im running a 1.9 ghz athlon with 1 gig ram, 160 g 7200 hard drive. all the settings are tweaked for audio performance.
Im thinking of setting up a system just for recording. It runs ok on my p4 1.6 and also on my celeron 2.4.
I could use a better sound card though. I had a maudio 2496 but it would not work with my spdif inputs from my roland mmp-2 mic modeler. so the biggest problem is probably the audigy soundcard. I never get anything useable at less than 20 ms delay. I just picked up a maudio delta 410, that may help.I dont want to completely give up the audigy. I was checking out that same aardvark card and also condsidering the aardvark Q10. but I could build a nice 3.2 g system for what that costs.
Oh yeah The norton Go Back program is probably Not resource friendly either.
System resource wise I do pretty well but I suspect dropouts and clicks pops etc. are probably soundcard related.
Now if I can only find some TIME!
 
Paul881, sorry mate, I've been to, and returned from, the UK. It seems like such a long time ago now. We were there towards the end of July and returned to Australia early August. I tried looking up your name in the phone book, but my parents' directory only covers South Manchester. So no joy there I'm afraid.

This is one of my extremely infrequent calls here - I have more or less confined my recording-related BBS activity to another place.

Qwerty, I'm running HS2004XL on a P4 2.4 with 1GB of RAM. With my Terratec EWX 24/96 I can get around 5ms latency using ASIO drivers. I get no clicks or pops and can easily have 14 tracks of audio without any noticable probs. CPU activity rarely peaks over 13%, which makes me a very happy Vegemite. :)

The tune I posted elsewhere (the tune who's title is the same as my posting name) has been tweaked and now has real bass courtesy of BassMaster-T. The bass-playing is as brilliant as you would expect. The original drummer (Douglas was his Natural name) has been sacked and he's been replaced by the wonderful Blue Jay. The new guy isn't quite so heavy on the Hi-Hats.

I've also been feverishly working on one of those Lee 'Scratch' Perry dub-mixes too of the tune. I'll post them both "over yonder" when I'm happy with both mixes. I got the idea for the dub-mix from your "deconstruction" remark in your critique.

Bill, I'm at a loss to know why your M-Audio 2496 wouldn't play ball with your Roland mic-modeler. I'm sure you e-mailed M-Audio and Roland and got no satisfaction from either. That's a real bummer.
 
I just wanted to pop in and post in this thread. Mainly because everyone else seems to be.

Do you have it posted yet? I checked the other thread over there and only saw the original post. Am I blind or just a too eager beaver?

hmmm well i've been gone for half a month and nothing has changed..... just as i predicted.

Well i'm back at the coast again but this time i have a new computer with me. An AMD 64, 320O+ with a gig of RAM.... wooo. Now if i could only find some time to work on music.....

Don't worry about it. This forum is only for people who TALK about making music, and about which programs and plugins would be best should anyone actually try and make music (which, of course, no one does).
 
This is just a test...........

Just wanted to make sure this forum was still working. ;)
 
Nope - I think it might be broken.

Maybe you should try again on another forum ?

:cool:
