That's the question. I don't know where this should be found 😁 But all my win11 settings are native/100%. So I'm a bit miffed about this. Both Cakewalk and Bias have been working just fine so far. When opened both after a while and did the required updates the cropping appeared. I had not touched any setting anywhere, Cakewalk or Windows.

Thanks! I now tried the first option but it didn't change anything. Can't see 'Display scaling' in Cakewalk. Windows scaling produces same cropping in all scaling settings (I'm using 100% anyway.)

Anyone? The setup wheel is also cropped out so I can't access the screen size settings. Very frustrating issue 🥴

After updating my trusted amp plugin the window cuts the plugin content badly and doesn't display full content. The update note says 'The latest version of BIAS FX 2 now supports High DPI displays'. Is there a cure for this? There's advice on how to fix this in many DAWs but sadly not for Cakewalk.

Very cool! I'm also curious about the lead vocal sound. Would you mind sharing what's in the chain?

Thanks Nigel! Do you hear processing other than eq-comp-reverb? This got me curious.

Thanks Kevin, nice words! That's an interesting observation. I'm not sure what you mean by 'behind the lead vocal part' but surely the vocal channel is running pretty hot at times, so maybe you hear some harmonics caused by overdriven signal hitting the red. But if you mean the rest of the 'band' then it's a different guesswork. One of the synths is quite rich in the higher frequencies which is audible especially in the second chorus. Guitars are lo-passed around 6kHz so it's hardly them. Maybe someone with good monitoring setup and undamaged hearing can shed some more light on this. I'm more than willing to learn 😁

Another original track finally finished. Quite happy with the outcome although this took longer that I wished. - Vocals: Rode NT1 through SPL Crimson - SD3 drums - Bias Fx2 and Neural guitar amps - various synths

I've come across several articles/videos where they've come to the conclusion that high (90C') temperatures doesn't have a major impact on performance on these top tier AMD and Intel cpus. E.g. the difference between a decent $30 cooler and a big liquid cooler is quite minimal in terms of performance, especially when the cooler prices are added to the picture . Just like the video above suggests. Is it wise to buy a top tier cpu and then compromise the performance even a little bit is another question. And very much so will be the cooling of the mid range cpus where the bang for the buck plays a much bigger role.

I'm curious about the 7950x. What happens if you just let it run hot with a regular cooler? Does the performance suffer? Which temp is the highest until throttling? I've been reading some confusing results about this.

It seems that the new Ryzen series is running hot by design. I read about tests where cpu performance stays the same, water or air cooled. So apparently the 95C' is nothing to worry about and doesn't produce throttling like older generations. If you want to keep it cooler, perhaps undervolting the cpu might give the most efficient results. Anyway, this all feels a bit odd but let's see how it actually turns out and especially how the new Ryzens perform with low latency audio.

Very nice song and songwriting! It's hard to believe it's your first 👍 A few ideas: I'm not sure whether it's a genre thing but the drums sound very mp3/data compressed, hihat particularly. Maybe a more natural sounding kit wouldn't hurt? I would also try lower velocities on drum hits to align the energy with the rest of the instruments. there's two L/R guitars with very busy content. You could try how it works with just one, and add a second only where it's necessary and where they can play together with a solid timing I also encourage to turn up the vocals, they sound very cool and should be the at the very front and center of attention

Thanks again! I appreciate the associations instead of genre definitions. Pop is accurate enough for me 😀

Thanks! It was a rewarding project with simplicity in focus. Or at least where it mattered.

Hi everybody! I got a song production finished lately. Quite happy how it turned out.
