I've built countless machines using liquid-cooling.

Modern AIO's are closed-loop.  There is no maintenance.  There's no way to perform maintenance (unless you have an "open-loop" setup).

Open-loop cooling is what I'd consider a "hard-core enthusiast build".  You typically have to form the tubing (bends/angles) that carries the liquid.  I'd never use that for a client.  I don't use open-loop for my personal machines.

Yes, I've had a few water-pumps die... but it hasn't been that many (no different than an automobile's water-pump going out).

FWIW, There's no way I'd build a 14900k based machine for a client... and use a D15 air-cooler.

YouTube videos can be helpful... but like AI, they can spout fact and BS with equal authority.

ie:  You can find YouTube videos showing a Threadripper build using a D15.  That's like putting skateboard wheels on a dragster.

Can you bolt it together, yes.  Will it operate, yes.  Will it be anywhere close to optimal performance, no.

 

Jim...you're a gem.  It sure is nice to pop in here now and again to see your advice on these topics.

I'm not going to debate you when you consistently show your willingness to edit your previous responses to make it look like you weren't confusing the hell out of yourself with something you read on the internet.

Show me where you control input dither in Sonar or on your converter.

I do not see how recording is changing the bit depth.  Maybe I am missing something here.  

It's not.  He's wrong.

Call me deaf if you want.  I don't particularly hear much of a difference in any of those clips that couldn't be attributed to proximity or axis placement.

Could be overthinking.

the horse don't mind

You also want to be sure you're not loading a workspace that has been saved with this option checked.

Under Console/Options.  Uncheck Allow Module Resizing if you want the FX bin to auto adjust to more FX units as you add them.

No, it'll be ANFSCD. 

 

 

I came in here for a good argument.

"technical debt" is the official term, and with cbb/sonar's older codebase there's plenty of that - not to say they weren't the right (or only available) decisions at the time

Maybe they'll follow Next up with a new flagship DAW called "And Then".

Doubt that could be possible.

 

Plugins up sample all day long, and Sonar wouldn't be the first pro-level DAW to allow multiple sampling rates in a project.  So...yeah...it's totally possible.

Yeah cant switch mid project in Sonar. However you can in Cakewalk Next since it supports hybrid sample rates in the same project.

So, @Noel Borthwick, what's the fundamental reason this is an option in Next, but not the new Sonar?  Is this an option you're working on for Sonar?

That's a weird one.  I used Melodyne 100 times last night and didn't have this issue.  Good luck.

Yes, you can assign a hot key to Duplicate Track(s):

Well hell...I looked and looked and didn't find that.  Good catch!

If there's a way, I certainly can't find it natively. 

What do you mean....duplicate a function?

I can think of several options that may be helpful...but they may not be related to what you mean, specifically.  

You CAN save a track as a template, which will duplicate everything about a track when you insert it from the template

Or you can also drag and drop with ctrl held down to duplicate functions, like plugins or eq settings.

You also have a quick-group function where you can set multiple track routings, sends, add effects etc.

I battled  my "new" machine for months.  Then I realized I had somehow forgot to disable core parking.

The devs have said that the Sonitus plugins are slated to be ported to VST at some point - but that it's not super-high on their priority list.

However, they did recently fix a long-standing bug in Sonitus delay.

At the bottom of this pic....try disabling  "Apply Workspace on Project Load".

I've had more hours at a desk, with a mouse and  a keyboard, than I'd really care to admit.  I don't know if it's genetics or what....technique maybe....but I've never understood how people get injuries from a mouse or a keyboard.

Use a shorter monitor...

I see Sonar added Send module Pan to narrow strip.  CbB only has level.

Yes. I'm so happy to see it since I use only narrow strips.

I only fix I could find was to augment my workspace to show more fx slots and send slots than I typically ever use...and I just don't have to think about it any more.   I mean....and there's STILL 20% wasted space on my console screen.

I would suggest your use the Focusrite to record MIDI in real time, monitoring the combined stereo analog output from the TD-27 through Sonar (or direct from the Focusrite with direct-monitoring engaged) and after polishing up the MIDI, switch to the TD-27 and record it's separate outputs. I realize this is awkward and not what you would like, but based on what the Driver Setting page is showing, you are not going to get real-tme playability with the TD-27 driver.

This is probably your best bet if that driver isn't up to snuff.  But...

Out of curiosity....does this update apply to your TD-27...and have you installed it yet?  Sorry.  Couldn't post a link.

The UA instruments I have show up in the browser.

Neither am I.  I presumed Noel was talking about the higher bitrates, specifically.
