  1. FWIW, I wasn't trying to give a detailed comparison between ultra-low latency performance... just show that Cubase and Studio One weren't using the same audio engine. IME, If running Helix Native under circumstances I mentioned above (96k using a 32-sample ASIO buffer size), Studio One out-performs CbB. To put things into perspective: DP10 is one of the worst performers at ultra low latency Cubase 10.5 is slightly better than DP10 CbB is slightly better than Cubase Reaper is better than CbB At higher ASIO buffer sizes, performance differences tend to be less dramatic. Reaper is overall the most CPU efficient PC DAW application.

  7. Studio One Pro 4 and Cubase 10.5 absolutely do not have the same audio engine. Studio One has significantly better performance at extremely small ASIO buffer sizes. Quick/Easy test: Using Presonus Quantum as an audio interface, you can set the ASIO buffer size down to 32-samples (at 96k). That results in round-trip latency of 1ms. Load Helix Native (with a patch using 2 Cab IRs for substantial load) into both Cubase 10.5 and Studio One Pro 4. Play thru Helix Native and monitor the resultant audio in realtime (heavy load on the CPU). If you have a fast machine, Studio One Pro 4 will show heavy load... but audio will be glitch-free. Cubase will struggle to keep up with the load (without glitches).

  8. To top it off - now someone has worked with Skippy to enable this synth to work really well in Plugin Guruā€™s Unify. Last Saturdayā€™s Plugin Guru Livestream went covered this new capability. Sounds nice! See page 2 of this thread for more info on the combo:

  9. The long-term answer/solution is to do the in-place upgrade to Win10 Pro. You can then insert two Registry tweaks that stop all automatic updates (including notifications).

  13. This one was the latest theme I was making last year (2019) before specifically concentrating on easier on the eyes Themes which I've released a couple of since, so itā€™s bright, colorful and may be seen as garish by some but as it was mostly done I decided to finally finish and release, someone might like to use it. Free Download Here.... M-Curves Cakewalk Theme A combined total of around 150 hours, sometimes much more, goes in to creating each Theme I make, then there's more time spent to update them whenever BandLab makes changes or additions to the Cakewalk GUI to ensure any changed or new items display correctly and match the Theme, I also don't make all these Themes for myself, it's more of a hobby and to share the end results with the Cakewalk Community for their use and enjoyment at no charge, Any Tips/Donations via the following link for my time and efforts in creating and updating these are greatly appreciated, however small. Thank You! ā¤ļø https://www.paypal.me/MatthewJohnWhite

  20. The issue with XLN is that if your Windows machine ID changes, then it looks like you are using a different computer that has not been activated with XLN yet. Usually a quick fix, Nothing running in the background like some other protection schemes. Just the XLN Installer that you run on demand. But you will need to sign in to your XLN Audio account on the web to adjust your computer activations.

  21. Yeah I especially like that blue chorus pedal. My favorite type of chorus is vibrato small clone type like Cobain used and I've got plenty of stuff for that sound, but thier blue chorus is great for that The Cure type of chorus and it's great on EP too. The tube screamer and yellow drives, I often use one or the other in front of the Nembrini Marshall. They're both solid for front of amp distortion. There's a ton of tube screamer pedals out there and theirs is a good one. I really like that Rat pedal, the blackdist2 I think it is. I think @Soundwise didn't like it though I believe she doesn't like Rat pedals in general iirc. But I play doom rock/metal and for me it sounds awesome on baritone guitar and bass w/ an octaver (1 octave up). I had the option to get the orange ds1 vst for free from a dude on kvr one time but that dude had just gotten done giving me for free the yellow drive, tube screamer and blue chorus - he was giving away a bunch of free stuff and I just felt kind of greedy coming back for a third time and asking for the ds1 lol. But now I may grab ds1 and I'm looking at Indent 2 tool. I mean they'd be free so might as well right

  24. IntelĀ® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 was introduced into Windows 10 recently, it is also called something like 'Favored Cores'. It can be read about here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-max-technology.html I was wondering what might be the impact of that on Cakewalk and the selection of the thread scheduling models. For those who don't know, this is only available on certain models of Intel processors. It adds a driver to Windows and adds some firmware support to the chip's p-code to support thread movement to different cores without OS involvement. Supposedly it will help thermals and help prevent thermal limiting. Or that is how I read it. My naive thoughts are that moving a process from one core to another will wreak havoc to the cache memory. I ran some tests using a high load Reaktor ensemble running standalone outside a DAW and saw this: (R6-CPU-all-cores.png). Notice the spread in load across all cores. There is no evidence that any core is stressed. Probably that is due to the low sampling rate or averaging of Task Manager. Then I set affinity to use only Core 7: (Reaktor-set-affinity.png). And then I ran again and see Core 7 showing the load Reaktor reports: (Reaktor-using-only-one-core.png). I don't know if or how this could be disabled and it does make measuring and testing loads a bit tricky. Does anyone know more about this new feature and what it means for us in audio?

  25. Hi Soundwise, I used the latest version of AAS' Custom "All" Installer. Restarted the laptop and checked with CbB. I think previous forum posts noted a "memory leak" issue with some AAS plugins, which would explain the interminable loading/crashing but they are the only plugins I use that lose their GUI. Sorry, not computer literate enough to know why it should occur specifically with CbB but I imagine that is why AAS have not addressed the issue before now.

  27. You could try disconnecting the drive, then running windows with it disconnected and then reconnecting the drive, see what it does. If the DVD is too old, could get a new DVD drive or if it's a laptop, get an external one, they are pretty cheap. To get out from where you are now, you could use the windows 10 disc/USB (if your computer can boot from USB), change the boot sequence in BIOS to DVD/USB and then boot from that and when it starts select the recovery/repair. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/boot-or-repair-windows-10-using-the-installation-media Or the various ways to do a reinstall, there is an option to completely reinstall windows but keep all your stuff: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4000735/windows-10-reinstall You probably just need to do a repair and then upgrade the DVD burner.

  30. I have the joy of now dealing with both. So far MS has not destroyed anything major for me. I have lost access to my (more conveniently located) external USB3 CD/DVD writer a while back, but TBH I burn so few that it's not anything major (like that song you were learning Kenny).

  32. They send you a box with a booklet with a code in it. You enter the code on their website and you'll get all the codes pop up for the products. There you'd find the Groove3 code. I tend to buy these bundles when they come up as well specifically for the groove3 codes, too.

  38. Good orchestration Nice build up to ~2:00 I like the strings coming in ~1:10 Classical music dynamic range tends to be high but I thought overall the music was too quiet I'm not sure if the music brings to mind a pandemic but I don't know what that would sound like anyway. šŸ˜

  40. If you're using a workspace, and the workspace is set to include the console view position then this is the reason you're needing to reposition it. You have 3 choices here: 1. When you set the new console position, re-save your workspace. This will then become the new default position for this workspace, and will affect all projects. 2. Remove Window Layout from the workspace, and re-save it. Now each project will dictate the window layout. 3. Don't use workspaces.
