opera Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Hi from France. I use Sonar Cakewalk since decades and I have a lot of projects running. I see that the minimum requirements for the processor is nine cores. Actually CbB runs perfectly on my computer. It has a Intel Core I5 10400 with 6 cores. Does it mean that I have to upgrade the processor or to buy a new computer ? Or simply that Sonar will not react correctly with an heavy charge in case of a big project ? Rem : I have a 32 GO ram. Thank you for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjoens Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) I have 4 cores and 8 threads and it runs fine here. BTW, Windows 10 is about to lose support October 14 this year, as well. Edited 17 hours ago by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it run with less than 8? Yes. Will it run as well? No. Does anything prevent you from trying it on a system below those specs? Nope. EDIT: Unless you're trying to run on an older version of Windows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opera Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago Thanks for each of the numerous answers. I'm comforted. Nothing prevents me to try. In France Sonar users can say : "we are not alone". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracingArcs Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I'm running both Cakewalk by Bandlab and the new Sonar free tier on an i5 - 10600. Without any issues. Infact it seems more efficient on the new Sonar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
