For my long planned Superior Drummer....waiting for Black Friday saves me 100 bucks  

There is a very small chance, in many years shortly before I die....I get smart

I just have budget dektop pc's...1 step up from the cheap models.

1 fried long ago but could fix it by installing a video card in the back.

I expect dust/dirt in combination with constant maxed out cooler running caused the cooking.

Since then I clean it every year and have a standard working cooler...all is good. 

I should be good for next 30 years / till my 80's

Only spectacular DAW improvements would make me get new computer.

Thanks John, I bought new Kingston RAM for my 3 old computers, they have reasonable SSD and 2 TB storage each.

If I get it all working, I should be ok for the remainder of my time maybe 

Don't know ofcourse if there's any software coming in future, but hoping I can stay with my machines..

tanks, I saved that advise for my new laptop coming next !

amazing mcAffee get away with it...had thought someone succesfully sewed 'm...awell...mr McAffee hang himself..

Am I wong thinking McAffee installed software to make my laptop slower....at the end of my 1 year contract ?

Had this several times untill years ago I removed all McAffee..

Just curious...

somewhat simular these free VST's:

Simple Haas effect: VFXFreehaas 

Proximity VST has a bunch of presets that can be fun..

+1 on the FMR RNC  

Hi, for a new VST with 500GB samples...would I want to increase RAM from 8 to 16GB ?

Windows 7 and Intel i7 cpu / 2TB

Also, any Windows/Cakewalk setting update that would help ?

Thanks for reading + wishing a good weekend 😊 

correct

no, it worked this week for me...I just enter a number (no dots or anything) and press enter, done.

(you have to stay under 30%  of the total purchase amount)

Thanks Jim for your reply.

though the drive is 10 y/o, I have 3 same PC's (2 backups) and had this on all when I checked/backed up lately. 

iic the SSL console bus compressor has a 'feedback' circuit...perhaps the Warm Audio is too.

My Sknote (pulse width modulation) compressor had such circuit too, to me it sounded a bit like RMS compressing.....made the 'tempo/beat' energy somewhat 'relax'.

To me it sounded like the attack was 1 hair later, but it can be real nice.

Feedback + RMS combined probably is a little too much for a bus in most situations (could be brilliant on fe backing vocals maybe).

related somewhat, this EQ boosts freqs based on a tracks Key.

(I never try this stuff -> far beyond my skills/talent)

John, thank you for taking time  !

On control bar 'performance'  module, 'disk load' window went red on engine dropouts.

I'd say my SSD is good but maybe software orsetting caused the disk load/audio engine probs (have no virusscanner, defender,firewall,Windows update = off).

Checking/unchecking 'use multiprocessing' / 'MMCSS' didn't help,  'enable read caching' = off always.

Running high samplerate + low buffer but very few VST/tracks (increasing buffer didn't help).

Maybe I should check CPU / RAM settings on my computer.

Thanks for your time and help, I'm ok for now 

imo a stereo compressor can do magic..'glueing' things and sometimes making the mids (bass,drums) tighter.

depending on the material, sometimes a 'dual mono' compressor works better.

imo dual mono keeps/adds width/depth that you can lose a bit on stereo (or linked dual mono).

(Just what I used to hear on my Drawmer dl251 compressor (VCA dual mono with a 'link' and 'peak/rms' modes switch).

I'd have free pack of a toilet paper version

Jim, David THANK YOU.

(Seems) solved now, no more audio engine dropouts.

Could be I had 'global folders' not set correctly...reset all the folderpaths too and created a new project + folder.

Thank you guys, you ROCK ! 

Hi Folks,

Hoping someone could help..

I can't use Cakewalk when setting project path to D-drive....when I change it to C-drive problem is solved.

My C-drive hasn't got much free space.....so hoping someone knows a trick/solution..

MANY THANKS !!!

That is either a USB cable from the Gene Simmons vault or a Custom Shop Masterbuilt (handwired).

Joe Bonamassa has 1 surely for under 100

here's my next 4 (why can we only enter 4 per post ?).
