I got the bit faster cpu 4x 2,70GHz, not the typical slower one which is around 2,50GHz (still fine imo)... it's working like a breeze, man but I don't do any gaming Edited August 11, 2023 by chris.r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that cuts down the userbase numbers, many who would use older systems? I didnt bother signing up for the beta access because of that - All my systems are Core i5 My eyes are seeing "Suggested Specs" not "Minimum Requirements." In my personal experience, SONAR/Cakewalk has traditionally worked with less than what is usually suggested. Of course, in the past, with less than that, users may not be able to "push the limits," but in my experience the software's features do work with less than what has been suggested. I am not going to jump to another DAW just because I do not have the suggested specs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I can say now that I was running CbB on far less than the suggested specs for Sonar has on the product page. It wasn't ideal but it worked. Considering Sonar is more or less (at least at the beginning) CbB with a refreshed UI, I'd feel pretty confident in saying that those specs are a "this will make your life comfortable using this product" guides rather than "oh... you have THAT processor? How awkward...." not gonna run specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are peeps running on that spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I have a AMD Ryzen 5700U laptop and CbB works fine for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I wouldn't worry too much about recommended specs. As others have noted above, the recommended specs are just that - recommendations. Not requirements. Of course, if you run on a potato you're gonna have to be creative sometimes, e.g. freezing tracks, using large buffers and holding off on mastering until the end. But we've all been there and know it's do-able. My guess is that if your system handles CbB OK today it will handle Next, even if Next is not as heavily optimized as Sonar is due to it being multi-platform. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt bother signing up for the beta access because of that - All my systems are Core i5 These are just suggested specs. FWIW, I recorded 16 simultaneous tracks in Next while playing back an existing 32 tracks on a 2.0Ghz / 4 core Intel Celeron J4125 with 8GB of RAM... and this was to an external USB 3 SSD. No plugins though. I did the same in CbB and had no issues there either. The specs are intentionally on the higher side, as people generally want to load their project up with plugins. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that was ready to release back in December. People keep excepting the last update of CbB will have new stuff added?? Why would they do that. You want new stuff? from now on you pay for it and it's called Sonar. The only "new feature" many are hoping for is the removal of the authorization time out. But I wouldn't put money on that either. They still might want to track how many people are still using CbB and not upgrading to Sonar. That is valuable information for a business to have. Say 2 years from now they still see a huge majority of people are still using CbB and Sonar is not doing that well. If it was my business I would most certainly pull the plug on the free version. Next is a totally different kettle of fish and I have a feeling it will be the winner for them. There is obviously a good reason why they want to release everything all at once. Ah, I see today the are releasing an EA (2023.09). Gotta check this one out. Kind regards, tecknoit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
