I will tell you this though, I am having fun recording today. I just finished putting down a simple but slamming live mix of my wife on piano and voice and me on drums and voice. I used only Sonitus plugs and the fidelity sounds great although the performance was a little rusty. I will be recording a lot now. It is fun for me and I used to hate tracking as an artist. I hooked up this mini computer keyboard with an extension cable up to my new computer and can start and stop from across the studio while playing the V drums. I will lay down a bass and my guitars next. It is all good. Everything is set up in a track template and no set up required every time I fire up Reaper and Reaper loads in just a few seconds. I will buy this software and the deal of the century IMHO. The GUI (default) is also growing on me and easy on my eyes. I have track icons and colors which helps me navigate as well.

It is the bomb; I am stoked. It seemed so foreign to me for a few days with the hood up along with a claw light for late night vision but then everything started to jell for me. I keep waiting for something to fly into my face and say oh no it doesn't do this or not compatible with that. The fact of the matter is it is probably more compatible with stuff than any DAW on the planet. I however don't do beats and loops and I do very little MIDI so I understand the concept of YMMV. Bit Bridge. Check EZ drummer. Check Plug-in compatibility. Check Win764. Check Lowest latency. Check UAD cards. Check, Etc., etc. Even Nuendo and Cubase are having trouble with the UAD cards and Windows 7 it seems. Hey maybe this could be bait for Ted to chime in on info about what he has in regard to the UAD cards. Someone who is real, please reply to this post. LOL!!!

Nope, I'm reserving the overclocking exercise to a couple of other cpu's that I have laying around. I know that I'll never do anything with them, and nobody is really interested in the D 805 or the 420 celeron, so I thought I'd play. Yeah, I love that turbo-boost feature of the new core i5's and 7's, especially since most of what I'm dealing with is using single core at the moment.
