I would like to know the specs of your system that allows you to run that many tracks. I know my system is not that powerful, but I start having drop-outs when running around 10-12 audio tracks. I currently use: XP Home, 1.4 Ghz, 512MB on Dell's Inspiron 2650 (laptop).

Is there some special technique to get more track count on my system?

Don't want bash your laptop, but it is way under powered. The Pentium 4-M is not the same as a desktop P4. Your hard drive is slow, big reason for track counts being low. I would use it for location recording liike around 8 tracks, but not more as it would not be reliable enough. If I were you I would build a desktop system myself.

You could just use that money and get SoundForge for audio editing and "mastering" purposes. Integrates pretty smoothly into Sonar and has a wealth of great features for audio editing.


The truth is, I like sonar very much. Is SoundForge a good program to Master in? Is that the Sony Soundforge 7.0 for 79.99? Seems pretty cheap to me.

CD Architect is my favorite mastering app at the moment, assuming CD is the destination media. Sonar/CDA is my current app combination of choice.

I love tracking in sonar but editing is seriously ****ed compared to SF....

I do all my editing in Sonar, but would gladly use another program for that if it were better in some way.

Could you please tell me in what ways is Sound Forge better at editing?

Thanks for your help!


Dowload the demo at http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/Products/ShowProduct.asp?PID=668 it functions fully for 30 days and it will be in the tools menu of Sonar.
Highlite an audio clip goto tools click on Soundforge, and it opens up in Soundforge. Now edit and save change an close, go back to Sonar and it will ask if you want to make the chages. Its edited. Quickly and easily.

I can't even imagine how people edit in Sonar? (With rudimentary features like "3dB louder"?) SF is a real audio editor and not a sequener, so I recommend downloading a demo to try it out.

With "editing" I mean editing samples that I load into soft samplers, applying effects to whole mixes and maybe fine editing vocal takes that need special care. I do simple volume adjustments with envelopes in Sonar.
