You can also purchase a full set of 8.5 DVD’s even if you bought the download from our web store.

Is this easy to do? A lot ask about this but seem to spend a while getting it sorted.

You need to contact CS either by email or phone (better) and they'll hook you up. 
 
If you contact them by email, you'll get a link that takes you to a page (in the Cakewalk Store) where you can make the purchase.

Cheers - I may test this theory.

Noel,

I have a question for you sir. 

Will I save significant CPU resources by making sure I insert either VST or DX effects, but not both kinds on each FX Bin?  It seems one can avoid constant De-Interleaving/Re-Interleaving processes that way.  But maybe this is on such a low scale that it wouldn't really matter?


Thanks in advanaced!

Thanks Noel.

I have to admit for me this would have sold me on 8.5 way more that the "Tweet a day" idea but Marketing isn't doing it for me they are trying to entice new customers with that type of stuff.

Lots of challenging pieces here you guys worked on.  I have 8.5 installed on my PC and I notice quite a bit of the things you talk about and how it has improved.  Well done to all.

You state this...

This seems great and the best part is I haven't even see it!  Which means 8.5 is working great!  Can't wait for the fix for the Superior 2 stuff.

Thanks again for the informative thread and showing us why our money was well spent.

Jose,
 
The hit is pretty minor if its a single effect here or there so I wouldn't worry about it. With many effects it can add up. The constant interleaving/deinterleaving also takes a toll since it prevents the processor cache from being used as efficiently as it could.
 
BTW: I just added a few more items to the BitBridge topic.

Loads to take in here indeed - thanks!

Nice!  Thanks for the info Noel.  And great job you guys did with Sonar 8.5.
 
Just wanted to add that, regardless of what others may have said, I actually like the direction you're taking with the new Sonar nomenclature.
 
 
Keep up the good work!

Oooh, I like the "Toggle VST editor" feature in the new detach Bitbridge window.  Nice touch!
