If you are from the new generation of kids, you get out a calculator on your phone. If this isn't handy than use you google it

11 lbs - interesting. As for size and quality it's hard to beat those IK iLoud monitors.

I found the same thing but you explained it best.

I'd be afraid to buy it since Yamaha support doesn't last long unlike RME.

Almost reminds me of the Siberian group we hear at Christmas, I've grown old of hearing. This is a bit different with the lady voices. I listened to parts of their other stuff and I like it. I thought that stuff died 30 years ago.

It seems no one is talking about this.

I'd like to know the link on that. I might have to do the same.

Snap Heap has always been free.

Hopefully there wont be a barrage of half assed posts without links. This often happens when people turn it into a game or assume everyone knows what you are talking about by using acronyms or whatever. I check this stuff in the morning so my brain is barely aware. One of these days I consider challenging myself to stay off any deal forum for a week. That will probably be a fail. The only time that worked was due to 3 weeks of being in a hospital with only a phone and no charger.

Just go with Vahalla and don't look back.

My next AMD budget build may be onboard graphics. Hence the word "budget". Video cards are the most overpriced component these days if you aren't going to use it for gaming.

It a small file size.

Fixed to make it look how Larry does it.

I use Tree File Size Free to see what clogs up disk space. VSTs take up little space. It's when you start looking at their presets. 256gb drive just won't do it anymore. Plus there is also non DAW software installed. Wave table synths with presets will eat up a drive. Another clogger is Live if you allow auto updates. I've had to delete those installers left behind. I keep telling myself not to fall for those Komplete upgrades. I almost went for the CE version but you acquire a lot of Maschine libraries. The biggest culprit is Reason with sample based REs. For some the makelink fails. I don't bother with it. At some point developers need to do things that a user should never have to do. I've seen some people fix NI's issues that developers need to fix.

This should be a sticky, I'm too stupid to mess with this stuff. The issue which is turning my off towards DAW software is the addiction to bloat. Most gamer have a 2TB OS drive and 256gb is pushing it for DAW software. The rationale is disk space is cheap. Well yes if you want to compare prices from the 80's and 90's. Many users don't go back that far. Where cheap ends is the inconvenience of upgrading an OS drive and having to do that many different reauthorization schemes. That means contacting support and waiting on them, No issue if you use only iLok.

I decided to buy it from Best Service with some coins. This was on my wish list for over 10 years. This and their brass are still quality.

Not surprised by this. I guess New Egg can be like that as well. People will buy a motherboard and they get one that was returned. The problem is with cheap stuff is when it breaks it's easier to replace than deal with a manufacturer warranty. All we do is enlarge landfills. I rarely buy anything off of Amazon. For PC add ons like drives I buy from Best Buy. The problem with China is they steal patents and designs. So far they are not good at stealing quality.

Somehow this tells me to avoid those. It has "learned the hard way" written all over me. Thanks for posting the link. I didn't no such things existed.

This so relates to our DAW world.

Short answer is No.

Welcome to the modern age of DAWs.

I've tried that but file size has a lot to do with it. Sometimes copying is not fast enough.

I reformatted my IDES because I don't really have the time to write zeros and didn't care to smash them. The only DATA on them was archived loops and recorded TV videos. Those only held 160GB. I bought another TV and used the previous one to replace my Vizio 32 780p that I used as a computer monitor. The problem was some software would run off the screen with that resolution. But I had no issues seeing software. I'm still keeping it since I don't know how long the other two will last. My biggest problem is when going to the recycle center is to not take something back. The last time I took home this massive CPU cooler and the board and CPU with it. The ram and CPU was from an Intel "meh" series. That massive cooler was a waste of money for the former user since the CPU wasn't good for overclocking. Where I use to live there was a computer store that would take old stuff and the motherboards were taken by a place the stripped the metals. There was tables setup with old accessories. Sometimes you needed an IDE cable or a PS2 extension cable. I still keep older cases since many modern cases don't even allow DVD drives.

That's why I avoid them. I bet they are aware a it's not on the top right now.
