bitflipper Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I wouldn't worry too much about recommended specs. As others have noted above, the recommended specs are just that - recommendations. Not requirements. Of course, if you run on a potato you're gonna have to be creative sometimes, e.g. freezing tracks, using large buffers and holding off on mastering until the end. But we've all been there and know it's do-able. My guess is that if your system handles CbB OK today it will handle Next, even if Next is not as heavily optimized as Sonar is due to it being multi-platform. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that cuts down the userbase numbers, many who would use older systems? I didnt bother signing up for the beta access because of that - All my systems are Core i5 These are just suggested specs. FWIW, I recorded 16 simultaneous tracks in Next while playing back an existing 32 tracks on a 2.0Ghz / 4 core Intel Celeron J4125 with 8GB of RAM... and this was to an external USB 3 SSD. No plugins though. I did the same in CbB and had no issues there either. The specs are intentionally on the higher side, as people generally want to load their project up with plugins. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that was ready to release back in December. People keep excepting the last update of CbB will have new stuff added?? Why would they do that. You want new stuff? from now on you pay for it and it's called Sonar. The only "new feature" many are hoping for is the removal of the authorization time out. But I wouldn't put money on that either. They still might want to track how many people are still using CbB and not upgrading to Sonar. That is valuable information for a business to have. Say 2 years from now they still see a huge majority of people are still using CbB and Sonar is not doing that well. If it was my business I would most certainly pull the plug on the free version. Next is a totally different kettle of fish and I have a feeling it will be the winner for them. There is obviously a good reason why they want to release everything all at once. Ah, I see today the are releasing an EA (2023.09). Gotta check this one out. Kind regards, tecknoit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulo Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I'm not saying that there has been a video of it on a popular video sharing platform for a month or so now and I'm not suggesting that people could easily look for that if they're really so desperate to see what it looks like. ? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msmcleod Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 FYI - that particular video was a very early beta (from around the beginning of Sep). We're still unsure as to how it got out. It's really not representative of how Sonar is looking now - and work is still ongoing. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exciting, but I can be patient. I want this to be a super success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath Row Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) one would hope that the actual app that is out there doing the rounds is considerably better ? Edited December 9, 2023 by heath row spelling for coherency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Concerning that leaked video... Surprised to find out that person claims he signed up and he got it right away, while I signed up same day of announcement and never got the invitation. Am I that unworthy? Ohh well. There are surely other venues I can spend my free time on. P.S. It better have full classic mercury skin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I’m too busy playing with Next anyway. I’ll just purchase Sonar when it comes available in June 2025. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
