  1. i would start with the 2019 drivers first and see if that solves it. if nvidia has a compatibilty checker, then maybe it would be wise to run that before installer later drivers. on my HP laptop, it has fairly new nvidia hw, but the install of updated drivers last year took some experimentation to get them working as the nvidia site wasn't exactly clear on which ones to use...
  2. you must have missed the recent election - we drove those people out of office and are trying to correct things. remember, no one is above the law. even judges, mayors, congress critters etc. cheers!
  3. makes sense then why its a misogynistic women-rating college-perv website that turned into a spam-bot echo machine...
  4. "facebook"? isn't that the misogynistic women-rating college-perv website that turned into a spam-bot echo machine?
  5. also - make sure you're not opening files from a cloud service (Google, OneDrive, DropBox etc) file directory, and you have the anti-virus (e.g. Defender) and search exceptions setup to avoid your AV and indexing from trying to scan your files when you open them. these types of services tend to be aggressive in competing for the file even if they're not blocking it, the file handles can be prioritized causing delays (and worse file corruption).
  6. note that fabfilter Q3 has been crashing my PC a lot (a few months back). so, after lots of troubleshooting plugins, i stopped using it. no crashes. and sadly, no further updates from the fabfilter folks either. just lots of ads for Q4.
  7. i use a separate drive for my cloud services and file downloads, then use freefile sync to update the "cloud drive" from my selected local folders. turn off AV for the audio, video, CAD programs and files. OneDrive and Google Drive cannot interfere with my local files (except for the documents folder un onedrive but that's seldom a concern for me) using this approach and i have 3 location for backups - primary, cloud drive, and cloud. the sync process only take a few minutes to run (except when i have to update arturia pro content, groan).
  8. in theory, you could already use VI like Toontrack EZ Bass which has MIDI input from keys (or MIDI guitar) and drums to create accompanyment... also the TT Audio Sender plugin let's you send audio to the EZ Bass Audio Tracker input. combined with a decent library of styles and instruments, this might be worth looking into. i use it to create basslines by creating the song in the standalone app, use the libraries to select what i like foro a given section, then export the MIDI for use in the DAW.
  9. one thing to do on any laptop, if you're not dependent on being live on the internet while mixing, is simply go to airplane mode. this will reduce a significant number of things contributing to the latency mess. i have an HP Victus gaming laptop - W11 - added some ram and ssds - almost never need to go into airplane mode unless i've decided to keep my synths unfrozen or using Waves Abbey Road Chambers (one of the biggest pigs on the planet but also really nice for some thing...) my buddy just got a Lenovo laptop a bit faster than mine (its newer) and added ram and connected some ssd. lightening fast running W11, CbB, and many photo and video apps. net-net -- most modern laptops can be used for many projects - even without "optimizations" (beyond turning a few things off) and getting used to using the airplane mode can alleviate those cases where you need the latency impacting network stuff out of the way.
  10. yesssss. but is the horse tender and sweet? my precioussss
  11. well Studio One has the answer - apparently you pay every time they upgrade versions 5 to 6, 6 to 7 etc and since they upgrade every 9-12 months, it's practically a subscription, but you can keep the older version as long as you like, just no more updates etc. from a user perspective a subscription model seems onerous, from a dev perspective it means i cna continue to pay my people and keep deveoping the product and maintaining it. maybe the right approach is - when you cancel your subscription, you get to keep whatever version you are at when you cancel. no more updates (except maybe catastrophic bugs).
  12. yeah, rammap is one of many great tools in sysinternals originally created by Mark Russinovich from MS (not just a genius but also a really nice person). using the autostart as admin to cleanup all kinds of misc things that run on your machine, as well as rammap, process explorer, and many more you can keep your machine running clean as well as troubleshoot it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/
  13. for me - i use the Pro Channel to create presets - and using the FX chain to stack plugins. then just load the presets on each track and tweak as needed. i create them for different instruments, busses, etc. and as i update things i simply save as a new preset or overwrite an existing one, and later if i have a project which would benefit from the updated, i reload it into the project. voila!
  14. you would also need to set up some level of hardware cerification otherwise you'll swamped writing (and re-writing) hardware drivers.
