hello
waiting for an update to complete and read your thread.
I have the older versions installed too, sometimes I set one up at another pulse rate and use it to record at slower rates.
I had to install the 32 bit version x86 to use all plug ins,. some of the plugins, many, do not work on 64 bit.
best way to polish off rust is to get in there hands on.
having an issue now updating the 32 bit version,. , its not happening,. sent a message to SONAR wont hear back until maybe after Christmas. the new versions work very well,,. and after my first update everything was good, everything I use anyway, I mostly use SOANR to record and mix with.
hardly every use synths, tho I have tried the old synth, pentagon,.on my old machine,32 bit memory with a 64 bit quad core,.i used 32 bit versions of sonar back then. is that not a 32bit synth? I don't recall now,. as I say, some plug ins not working under 64 bit version.
I'm using an old workstation with a pair of very very expensive when new xeon 64 bit cpu's and 12 slots for memory cards. all full, 4GB cards 48GB total,. hardly every use anything but a small portion of the memory, just over 4 GB usually, like 4.5 or 5GB.
my old machine would not go over 4 GB, 2 slots, 2 GB per slot, and would Exit when SONAR asked for more then 4 GB,
so I made sure I don't have that trouble again any time too soon
I have 4 hard disk drives for operating system hooked up to it ,. and a whole buch of others,.
I use ssd for record and then move data to the raid arrays after the ssd is full, recording fragments hard disk drives.
I used to defrag, back when you could see it on XP, defrag every day after recording,. when I move files to the hard disk drives there is no fragmenting on moves or copying, only on record,. and using electronic drives, ssd, fragmenting doesn't matter, only have that one I use to record on and one more usually disconnected,for an on line operating system
old dell workstation outstanding, is a monster, can be dangerous, microwave freqs,.(that's anything over 1.2giga hertz)(microwaves shakes apart the nucleotides of deoxyribose nuclic acid,.DNA,.can break the weak hydrogen bond holding the so called nucleotide parts together. if that happens , an error in the dna will replicate itself,.,. big trouble.,. no way to repair it at this time or when I learned it anyway,. and people at the hospital did not argue the point, agreed every time.
have to keep the cover on at all times while it is running.
I have no rust at all,. polished, I been on sonar for 9 to 10 years now, full time with lots of over time. fyi
