While this is being asked - I am not sure what the best plugin is for this. Not all phase corrections, as I understand it, are based on a simple inversion.

Fortunately, I have kept my CD Architect application file and serial number. If I could not find it, I would buy it off of Amazon, though I wonder why it cannot be purchased from Sony directly?

You are very welcome. We all have to help each other! I just ordered an update for the Motu Ethno. Unfortunately, I could not find their instrument list on line. As soon as I get the update, which they actual mail to me, I will let you know if it is on the list. Cheers!

I believe Motu Ethno Instrument and I believe it has it in their sample library. I have found some really good sounds in it.

It is more than free. They are spending money so we can use it!

This type of customer service is amazing. Noel was always great whether with Bandlab or before. I am very grateful that Cakewalk has continued!

If you get a used TG77 - I believe it has 8 individual outputs. It plays all the SY77 sounds but has no keys. That would go a long way.

You are correct. In my situation with A Gigabyte G1 Gaming 7 - I lost some sata ports. It was worth the trade off though.

Thank you, Andres. I was going to upgrade from 16gb to 32gb and it probably would have been fine. But pricewise, the 64gb just happened to work out. I always wanted to try Omnisphere, by the way.

Thank you, Rico. There has been like a hurricane here (super high winds) and shipping has slowed. So hopefully I will get the ram soon and let you and others know. Best, Alan

I should have mentioned that I use a lot of sample libraries, including various Vienna libraries, and I was experiencing Ram issues. Thank you all! My expectations are lowered!

So I have to admit that I love buying equipment. I noticed that my computer I have been using for 4 years has only 16 gb of ram in it. I am not sure why. But the motherboard allows 64gb, so I am going for it. Will I realize any improvement? I also upgrading to two m.2 SSDS because I just found out that the motherboard (GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 ) has two M.2 slots that I just never saw! So, it will be interesting to see any improvement enhancements!!!

1. Are you taking advantage of proximity effect of a microphone? 2. Some ribbon mics (AEA 44) can help thicken as well.

Hi Everyone: Sometimes I will open up Cakewalk and within some seconds it just shuts down. I will open it again and it is fine. And periodically, if I do anything while the audio is running, the audio engine will stop and have to be restarted. All of this was very rare under Sonar Platinum. Is this common to everyone? Any thoughts?

Thank you, StudioNSFW!

Hi everyone. I hope you are all well!!! If I have a track with a bunch of clips on it (from many takes) - if I bounce to clip - so it no longer has separate clips - and then I save as a bundle for instance, the size of the file is reduced. So, is it worth reducing the size of the file for any effective purpose (other than saving space)? Does it make it run smoother - less impact on cpu, etc? And is there any audio quality loss by making one whole track line - one clip??? Thank you, AB

Would going to the Samsung evo pro 860 over regular 860 - be worth the difference? A C drive needs to be very stable. Or is it throwing money away?

Will there actually be any noticeable difference in the running of Cakewalk by have a drive better than the Samsung 860?

I track at 96K or 88.1 because of the latency benefits and frankly, the hard drive space, taxing the system, etc. is no longer an issue. I mix to various sample rates - because as long as I have the mix where I want it, I may as well make extra copies at various sample rates.

I always mix down to 96K in case a format becomes popular later that can use it.

Thank you!

I understand. Are you using an external USB SSD? That is what I am zooming in on. Thank you.

Well - I guess my title says most of it. Anyone using these latest USB SSDS to record to? Any particular recommendations for brands, etc.?

Go for it. Otherwise, you may be sorry later! It is a lot to set up a computer - so you may as well set it up with the best, especially when the price difference is not that great.

Try everything to make sure it works. Open back, closed back, speakers, boom box, whatever. Not everyone has this time luxery. But if you really want to know what it sounds like by the end user, one must use what the end user is listening on. For that matter, take it to the car as well!
