10-52 for many years now. Been lovin’ the “half rounds” lately, cuts down on the “squeak”, don’t play “out” much anymore, would use the “nickel wounds” for that. I’m old, what can I say. T

Two “Cats” here. #1, from 2010, is still rock solid. It’s now my “office rig”. Couldn’t run CbB on my old 32 bit rig. #2 I purchased in September, it’s a “monster”! Can’ say enough good about Jim. Buy with confidence, you can thank us all later. T

I’ve been “seduced” more than once, so yeah, maybe the guitar does choose you. T

Not only do I use them for EZD and Superior, I also have a Trilian map. That way all notes and key switches are on screen and labeled. I don’t have to “think” when I want to “slide” a note. T

I think David, sadly, is right on all points. Hope we haven’t all stepped in a “pile” as far as the TOS goes. T

I learned redundancy early on watching NASA manage the space program. Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy. So yes, I have multiple tape measures and basters! if I “scatter” things about, there’s always one close at hand! T

Maybe Jim will give us/me a definitive answer here; Are SSD drives the way to go for the project/audio drive? I thought there was an issue with multiple read/write cycles with SSD drives. As to the OS on the M.2: why waste valuable sample space with the OS? I upgraded my old Cat to ssd on the OS several years ago, cloned the existing drive, other than the time it takes Sonar to scan the vst’s, I really didn’t see a “blinding” increase in speed. Jim said I wouldn’t, maybe his optimizations, and keeping things “lean”? As to size; go 500 if you feel you need it, I’m on my phone so I can’t quiz my Cats as to actual use on my OS drives. I know my 9 year old “office” rig is 250, and it’s not “full” by any means. Best of luck with your build. just my nickel98’s worth. T

Andy, listen to Jim. 250 SSD for your OS. Keep it “lean”. 1gb M.2 for samples. Edit: 1 tb, I’m on my phone, pita! Conventional 7200 hd for projects. at least one more hd for data, backups etc. I’m not a composer who does “huge” orchestral mockups. But I can tell you that the M.2 loads Superior Drummer Trilian Kontact “right now”. Best money I spent last year! You can thank me later, T

I was late as well. Put it up Bat. T

Well done!

The “older core 2” is an upgrade as well? personally I would do a clean install. Jim Roseberry does consulting. I’m sure many of his customers have moved to 10. My first “Cat” is Win 7 and will remain so as long as possible. Why? Clean install is a PITA. Contact Jim T

Welcome home Phil.

As soon as cclarry gets his Deals forum we are good to go!

Doesn't matter where you go, 'cause there you are. Looks like I setup my signature right...
