scook good point about the memory ….I can try it here .. if its a issue a cheep laptop used/recycled... would work ! Thanks

Thanks for the Link and Input : Laptop is A Lenovo intel core 2 duo cpu T5250 @ 1.5ghz win 7/32 2g mem... Think it will cut it ? As for interface would A Behringer UMC 204HD work well...... and is there a difference in audio quality between this and a say A Focusrite unit ?

Is anyone running the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core/24-Thread.. with Sonar ? and if so what motherboard are you using ?

Apollo Twin MK ll here .. It's killer quality ...m-audio 410 for midi !

Hello All : I want to use a laptop and midi interface to play some sounds LIVE .. what level of laptop and midi interface do I require for HQ sounds ?

Hello : GT6L6B are the Power Tubes .. replace them ! https://reverb.com/ca/item/23490192-tubes-sovtek-5881wxt-matched-pair?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5dC8oPX_4gIVR_7jBx3iSgVCEAYYAiABEgKqcfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&pla=1 is a option as well as the 12ax7 tone/pre amp tubes

Speaker Chk 22 to 20k ! Perfect voice : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT7_qIFBa3Y&feature=youtu.be

There is no question : I'm sticking to intel as this 8086k build is near perfect..in general I go main stream boards like Asus z370-a … as I don't want extra features. TB with Apollo mk ll twin is sonic and flawless .. Happy Tracking !

Call: Bob Ludwick .. want his number

Guy's thanks for your input .. just seeing how AMD was working on Sonar and as for 1000.00 motherboard ...need I say more !

AMD released the x570 motherboard/chipset with Thunderbolt 3 .. What are your thoughts on AMD systems running Sonar Platinum ?

Hyper Threading Processor or No Hyper Threading ? whats the best option !

Misha : got to your thinkpad support page and do or re do the INF/chipset driver ..In bios turn off on board audio and anything else your not using .. win 10 updated here with no issues .. this time.. some times I have to reinstall my m-audio firewire 410 driver cause update screws it up.. you might want ti reinstall your audio driver … too

TVR : Chk your bios rev ...and your motherboards chipset driver.. see you use the 1 from you motherboards support page and your video driver and lastly your firewire driver .. I will chk back later !
