I am seeing a theme here at times. Stability and bug fixes are more important than adding new features. Thank you, great Cakewalk people!

Fortunately, I have kept my CD Architect application file and serial number. If I could not find it, I would buy it off of Amazon, though I wonder why it cannot be purchased from Sony directly?

You are very welcome. We all have to help each other! I just ordered an update for the Motu Ethno. Unfortunately, I could not find their instrument list on line. As soon as I get the update, which they actual mail to me, I will let you know if it is on the list. Cheers!

I believe Motu Ethno Instrument and I believe it has it in their sample library. I have found some really good sounds in it.

It is more than free. They are spending money so we can use it!

This type of customer service is amazing. Noel was always great whether with Bandlab or before. I am very grateful that Cakewalk has continued!

If you get a used TG77 - I believe it has 8 individual outputs. It plays all the SY77 sounds but has no keys. That would go a long way.

You are correct. In my situation with A Gigabyte G1 Gaming 7 - I lost some sata ports. It was worth the trade off though.

Thank you, Andres. I was going to upgrade from 16gb to 32gb and it probably would have been fine. But pricewise, the 64gb just happened to work out. I always wanted to try Omnisphere, by the way.

Thank you, Rico. There has been like a hurricane here (super high winds) and shipping has slowed. So hopefully I will get the ram soon and let you and others know. Best, Alan

I should have mentioned that I use a lot of sample libraries, including various Vienna libraries, and I was experiencing Ram issues. Thank you all! My expectations are lowered!

So I have to admit that I love buying equipment. I noticed that my computer I have been using for 4 years has only 16 gb of ram in it. I am not sure why. But the motherboard allows 64gb, so I am going for it. Will I realize any improvement? I also upgrading to two m.2 SSDS because I just found out that the motherboard (GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 ) has two M.2 slots that I just never saw! So, it will be interesting to see any improvement enhancements!!!

I had to delete Cakewalk. Then I re-installed it. And it worked great and even kept my settings. Something was wrong with the assistant - perhaps on summer break?

Thank you for the update. I am very grateful!!!

1. Are you taking advantage of proximity effect of a microphone? 2. Some ribbon mics (AEA 44) can help thicken as well.
