From: Sue Morton on 30 Jan 2010 15:41 That poor guy, just trying to get some help, the only advise is to get a brand new OS and brand new hardware instead... Do you think the 'Reaper' word would get censored if mentioned right now? LOL If no one is going to tell him how to fix Sonar, at least it's a cheaper suggestion than new OS and new hardware :-) -- Sue Morton "Glennbo" wrote: > > Good gawd this is funny.

"Your soundcard is not Recommended by Cakewalk." Odd answer.

They'll spend over $300 on a processor and then equip it with a Fast Track USB, along with a power hungry Geforce 260 and one big drive. Of all of the forums I've been to, the Cakewalk forum has the worst fan boys. I also think it's not appropriate to go to a company forum and bash their product and then praise a competitor.

The guy had a brand new i7. > One of the developers at Image Line posted specs on % of price upgrade vs. % of increased performance. Some i7s that cost 50% more with only 20% more performance isn't worth it. The ignorance of an efficient DAW is increasing. People think you need to overclock. How did we ever manage to get anything done back in the single core days,under 3ghz and 1 gig of RAM? I bet if they could clean up that GUI, it would shave off resources. If you look at all of the other DAW apps, they have less buttons. I never understood their thinking when it comes to "features". Having a arpeggiator on each track is silly. The synths they package have that feature. There's many times I wanted to go to that forum and tell them to clean up the GUI. The last time I seen a post like that, a guy got really flamed. They even found a way to ruin that excellent piano roll. It took me awhile how to get rid of that annoying magnifying glass.

The way I read it, the whole conversation was derailed by that CJ guy, who doesn't seem to know very much. I clicked on his name, and it seems he's made over 24,000 posts since he joined in 2006: <http://forum.cakewalk.com/showprofile.aspx?memid=33776> That seems frankly insane. It's an average of over 20 posts a day, if my math is right. He seems to have been posting every few minutes today. I guess if he posted less and spent a bit of time learning a bit more, he'd be more helpful. But you can't fault his commitment. It's amazing he has time to make any music.
