HP Envy Touchsmart M7-J178CA Help Please & Much Thanks!

Hello everyone, I just bought me an HP Envy Touchsmart laptop model M7-J178CA for $1199.99 at Best Buy Canada (plus taxes) and I intend to use it with Cakewalk Sonar X3 (as well as other music software).

Bad Idea to Defrag Your Audio Drive?

Hello-- I want to setup some schedules for defragging my hard drives. I have three drives, and one of them is where my Cakewalk projects folders go, with the audio, etc. I seem to recall hearing that you should not defrag your audio drive, but my search of this forum didn't find anything. Is it a ba..

My Purrrfect Audio computer is dead....QUIET !!!

thx Jim,Wonderful build and I'm excited to dive into X3 and using the new Pro Audio computer. The case is a monster. Looks like I need another 1/2 dozen drives to fill it up! The best part... my wife goes..."woah...!!" She likes to use her computer for Photoshop, so she can appreciate "nice" things...

Long Shot

Strong background in IT, but its dated and I was always more of a hardware guy than a code guy. Support PC in control room has a PCI(not e) MOTU 2408mk2 just added, and more now than before, the keyboard ignores input. Moved USB slots around, no joy. It's intermittent, I'm typing on it now and not l..

Is I7 4770 the way to go for a new build? If so what is a good motherboard?

I am looking into a new build (by the way my old system-the one shown below- is running sonar x3e 64 bit decent. I did install win 7) the i7 4770 seems to be going for about $270. Is there an AMD that is close in performance?The AMD processors are signifigantly cheaper. But since I haven't built a s..

Windows Audio issue, HP laptop

I hope this is the right forum for this, this is not an issue with Sonar or my audio interface, but I believe it may be a Windows issue and/or an issue with beats audio interfering with my Focusrite drivers. I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer to this issue. Here's the scoop, My focusr..

i7 vs. i5 is there a significant advantage?

For someone who is only going to be using the machine for processing and producing audio,,,is an 8 thread processor really going to offer that much more compared to something less robust like a 4 thread i5? My old q8200 seemed to work fine. Although, I didn have some issues with it. I'm just not so ..

Has the bar raised for video cards and X3?

My current card (ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro PCI-e 2.0, 128MB) has been trouble free and worked great for Sonar up to Ver X2 (still does). But with X3, console view is glitcy and hangs to the point that I really don't want to use it anymore. I stay in track view with X3. For those who are in the know mor..
