There must be more to it, because it worky ok here.
IIRC, the PX-64 Shaper Attack bug may be  x64-specific.
Nope, I just tried it in x86 and it does the same thing.

At least I know how to get it to work now, I have to disable part of the functions that the template sets up that were designed to save me time. Got it.

Thanks.

If you took the time in a post above that one from me I was talking about Aero. The one you take out of context is a continuation of the one before it and before that one and so on. Its a conversation.

But where do you get your information if you don't get it from MS or CW.

BTW CW recommends 1 gig too.

The below is the beginning to the conversation.
Any thoughts on my video card being underpowered? It's an older 256mb card. I remember reading somewhere here that W7 needs more video power.

Very much more. 1 gig is now what most are recommending. For full Aero support I believe one needs 512MB. With dual monitors you need the extra memory of 1 gig now.

Maybe I need to underline full as well. If anyone is using a straw man argument its you Mike.

Also said, but I guess I need to underline it as well, recommended is an important concept to get a grasp of.

I am using a pair of 256Mb video cards (ATI Radeon x600) and they work just fine -- on XP/8.5.

Aero uses the video card's GPU for processing its fancy effects, and it wouldn't surprise me if that didn't also require more video RAM. But you can turn Aero off, and SONAR's video requirements are quite modest.

I did, however, have an issue at one time wherein certain plugins came up with no UI, just a blank gray window and title bar but no controls. As this only affected SynthEdit-based plugins, which I rarely use, I didn't worry about it for a long time. Then one day I installed the latest video drivers and - voila! - all those SE-based plugins had UIs again. Checking for video driver updates might be a good idea.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

Aero is very important on a DAW, just turning it on will make your plug-ins 20-40% more transparent, particularly round the edges.

Besides when your main music app plays up you can spend days 'personalizing' every aspect of your desktop and forget you had any issues at all.  It can make you feel like you've been very busy yet you can rest assured you will have achieved nothing worthwhile.  If you get really good at Aero you can even convince your partner you need to spend several thousand dollars more on new hardware and perhaps more importantly you can end up believing it yourself.

In the old days of analog stationary you would have to have graded several boxes of paper clips into percieved quality of finish to get remotely close to what Windows Aero can achieve in wasted time over several weeks.

Not only that, my drag-strip, beach donkey theme looks really cool with all it's fancy fonts an' all.

See I said turning on Aero would make it all better.

Bapu,
I only had a "stuttering" problem on startup of a project, but does the quickstart page on the FW control panel look like this?

The reason to use Aero has been stated Cakewalk. They said that it off-loads certain GUI functions to the graphics card freeing up the CPU more to do other things related to SONAR and plug-ins. I've been using Aero ever since I switched to Win 7 2 years ago.

Make sure you get the most expensive video adapter you can find, as those are always the best. Their fans work like the hiss injectors in your better tape emulation plugins.
