In the end.. i think i will go for Nvidia. So my choice is: Ryzen 7 7500x and Rx 4060 Ti

Thanks for info. I will read this topic. At the moment i think to take a CPU for actual version of Cakewalk could be enough.. for some years.. but if there will be some changes in a near future.. is better that i will know it.

Thanks for answer. Good to know. What you told me is very important. Now i can select the one i think is better, but i know that they generally "works" for Cakewalk and my musical activities. For the Cpu so i'm quite sure.. i will select the Ryzen 7 5700X . My last doubt is on the graphic... there are 2 different graphic cards that i'm thinking on.. Nvidia Rtx 4060 Ti .. and Radeon 7700 xt. Probable are both enough for my gaming and video editing requirements.. but a little doubt is this. 1) Nvidia seem at the same price to be a little less powerful in some usage.. Radeon 7700 is in some test is been put in challenge with 4070.. that is more expansive than 4060. But .. i've heard some users telling that Amd could a bit more complicated.. if you have bad drivers can have stuttering, problems, issues... i don't know if it's right. Nvidia i heard that has codec really "easy" that working with Resolve and other applications. Really good codec. More easily accepted system. So.. usually for gaming people select the Radeon.. but for Work could be better the Nvidia. Nvidia for 3D seem to be more powerful.. but i only make musical videos often.. i'm not so advanced in graphics. The price is quite the same. The same PC is 880 euro .. with the Nvidia, 890 with the Amd. If i should see only the fps and some tests.. expecially game.. i should select the Amd.. but i would like to have the "better" for work, so better for "stability". Nvidia is a really used system for GPU, could work better with more softwares? I'm not so expert in Video, graphics, drivers etc... a too specific video card if have issue in configuration could give me more problems than benefit. The two Gpus are not too far in fps.. but there is a bit difference. I have to select wich one buy before making the process. I don't loose too much time because i would loose the offer.. but thinking a little bit on it is necessary.

Another one is a desktop PC with Ryzen 7 3700 with Nvidia 3060 graphics card.. is 2nd hand and i would not have warranty.. The video card has lower level resèpct 7700 Xt . This is not my "favourite" option. Edit: i could have selected this one Assemblato Ryzen 7 5700X - Radeon RX 7700 XT 12GB - SSD M.2 1TB nvme - Ram 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz - 6 ventole RGB - Windows 11 Is the first link 1)Seem to me the better Cpu power than other examples... 2)good video card 3)32 GB RAM .. some others have 16... i would need to add more memory. Anyway i wait for what people that knows Cakewalk well.. tell me in this post before the final decision. I wait for reccomandation if is possible. It is really important for me because i always use Cakewalk to make music.. I would like to be sure that my new computer "is enough" to make music. I don't make orchestral or really big team projects.. but sometimes i make project with 30 - 40 different tracks, audio and midi together with lot of different plugins.

Hi all. I have actually a laptop: Hp 255 Ryzen 5625u With integrated Vega 7. Vega7 is only 512 MB Vram.. really bad for graphics and for gaming. Disaster. I use to work with it.. and sometime in free time i try to make a game to relax.. One time.. when the technical asked me to download some VST effect really heavy.. it has crashed. When i took out one effect.. worked. unfortunately i cannot upgrade graphically my laptop.. because it's not possible with this kind of laptop, Also Hp confirmed to me that is not possible. I would like to buy a "stronger graphic" PC, desktop.. but i don't have high budget. The new desktop i'll buy should permit me to work with musical video with latest version of Davinci Resolve.. and working with Cakewalk at a decent level. 2 things are connected because i make audio and video with the same computer and mount all. this is the first offer https://www.amazon.it/EMCA4-Computer-Gaming-Ryzen-5700X/dp/B0CN4KDKVB/ref=asc_df_B0CN4KDKVB?mcid=6ee541f381493d2abae2aa36ca6c4a3a&tag=googshopit-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=700813659505&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5380749005860529798&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1008463&hvtargid=pla-2293657888443&psc=1&gad_source=1 this is the second a bit lower CPU https://www.amazon.it/EMCA4-Computer-Gaming-Assemblato-Fisso/dp/B0CGMBJBFZ?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AU7QXN6T71JZ7 This is a middle way https://www.amazon.it/Gaming-PC-AMD-Ryzen-5600X/dp/B09SHZW3S5/ref=asc_df_B09SHZW3S5?mcid=53a0d711c0773cb8899c0f25418579e1&tag=googshopit-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=700813659505&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4773345481641506403&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1008463&hvtargid=pla-1678936893491&psc=1&gad_source=1 And this is another one.. https://www.pcassemblati.eu/pc-gaming-economici/20904-pc-gaming-amd-ryzen-7-5700x-radeon-rx-7700xt-12gb.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2N2_BhCAARIsAK4pEkXM1bNSanQ_-PNkGhQ1817zAbZ5TXfpIwntQfD80RhJMmngQ620h_UaApwPEALw_wcB Which one would you reccomend for making all? For graphics all have got a really stronger video card.. 12GB vram vs my poor 512MB. I'm not sure for "other use" wich one is better. Thanks in advance.

Also there is a particular thing: When i use Mvmeter to monitor every track, using value reference to -18(-18 is 0) i should theorically have the medium part of the meter at -18, not the peak. This every tutorial i've seen say.. The problem is that 1)i have a too big oxillation with this instrument, if i record classical acoustic guitar with my soundcard. If i put on -18.. the big oxillation make going a bit too out.. the Mvmeter sign red.. and the sound is horrible, is dirty. The cakewalk master don't go to red.. but on orange and sometimes sound is not clean. I have to stay in everytrack a little bit under the 0(Mvmeter)=-18 with this setup. And the final result sounds more clean in that way. But.. in that way i need more "empowerment" during the process in that way.

I0ve changed something. Now i have same level of commercial videos that i was saying.. and i'm not using Loudmax to "unpower" in that way than before.. Just limit at -1 with Limiter no6 and using it with a much much moderate way to unpower.. and just some compressor. I don't have 9 db of before differences. I've organized all the tracks in different colors.. I'm using 7 busses: Master, Metronome(to ear the metronome in a particular way in some exporting), Reverb, Rhythm, Solo, Melody. I've re-equalized some tracks.. because something before i didn't like. Some peaks where higher.. but some guitars where a bit harsh. I had to cut some high frequences.. and with similar level of listening.. some peaks are going a bit down. But the final volume is similar. Now in Loudness Meter i have -1.2 Db True peak max and -13 LUFS integrated. It is a middle way . All single tracks are near to -18.. using Vmeter. I have 2 really low peaks: track 7 and track 20.. but they are just some note.. and really in background.. i ear it well in the general arrangement. This arrangements has got lot of different dymamics, from difficult to ear to very strenght.. I ear them good like this Some peaks moving during the song.. and some track aren't started in full way.. in the photo. Now the fader of the master it's put back to neutral position.

I forgot an important thing: The peak of you where talking about depends also from the equalization. I'm talking on some particular tracks. It changes lot and lot if you work on eq. Also who made famous videos on gain staging told that the numer are number... but it's also important to "ear". When you start with a track weak for sure, you can put the gain up.. but i think it's not the only things to do. The quality of the source is essential to have a good result and you can't arrive sometimes. Also if i add 6 of gain more.. sometimes isn't enough. And equalization is essential. Example: You remember the track you told me the peak was too low, about -19? Also.. changing the equalization..peak go to -5 or higher. - But the result? The sound become strident, jarring. Same file, same project. Only who listen to it can ear exactly what is happening. The basis i think it's also working with a good source and using an equalization that is good for this kind of instrument, this particular sound. Edit: i had made a mistake in written. I would like to correct: From -19 to -5.. the peak changed using equalization and gain toghether, not only the equalization and not only gain.

Now i have an issue, technical problem and i don't have time to investigate. I will try it or other similar autogain app that have free try in the next days.

The answer was this. It doesn't seem to me an answer to my question. My question was a "rethorical question". I've imagined that withouth pay, with this software, you couldn't make what we were talking about and export withouth limit. I'm talking about that link that you gave me. I just would have the confirmation. There was a demo version, i don't know how "far" can the demo version "arrive". Was a reply to a particular part of your message and was a specific question. I was curious.

Ok, thank You very much for the answers. Master level now is flat, i've moved. I work with the equalizer now. I had put it lower a bit because of some unwanted red and high LUFS that disappear putting the master level a bit down. But .. yes, there are better way to work on it. Now i have another problem, i don't wanna disturb to much, i wouldn't like to be too long. I try to explain easily: i record the acoustic guitar, the peak level of the recording, indicated under the track in the console vies is something like -60 in the track. Is difficult for me to work starting with something like this. Can be that i'm a little tired and i've made a mistake withouth see it. In the master the signal is present, but under the track i don't see nothing. You know what happened? I'm reading only this track. Shouldn't i see a signal also in the source track? Why the level indicated in the track is so low? It's track 3. Now i have -42.6. You know what happened? I ear it very well. How could i make something to the track in cases like this? The signal in the panel of my soundcard input is good and also the signal in the master. Probable i made something wrong. You can see that there is a green line on the master -9.4. Nothing appear on track 3, it seem that i'm not reading it.

The peaks before that the instrument start or is full playng.. can be some little noise in background sometimes also. i delete all of them before exporting.

Now i've could understood. You mean the peak level(right number), not the level on the knob, that's correct? If yes, i'could thinking to other in last answer. Anyway.. some peaks are indicated before that this tracks start in that screenshot, it was taken in a moment. Tracks that aren't sounding. Or the bass is particular in that project. Anyway here they are different: We don't have anymore a so low peak in the bass. This is the photo now. We don't have anymore -19.

Interesting, is the auto gain in the link you gave me totally available with the demo version, or you have to buy the pay version for exporting? Does it have limitations?
