PCI - Layla 3G

I've been using a bottom feeder Dell for years, and it has been working fine. I've been eyeing the prof builds, but it seems to be another $1k or so to even get anything. I have no time to build one and don't even want to go that route if possible. The new bottom feeder Dells in the $4-500 range see..

Intel Speedstep Problem...Help Please

I am having problems with my Dell Laptop and Sonar 7PE. I used DPC Checker and LatencyMon to narrow it down to my cpu power management. So after some research I disabled Speedstep. Wow, what an epic failure. It actually got worse, to the point that the change made it difficult to do anything. I had ..

2nd HDD sample drive - (some info on 3TB drive / UEFI / GUID)

I'm shopping for a 2nd drive for sample storage (BFD2 library, etc...) When I built my system 2 years ago, I was using a Samsung spinpoint 1TB drive as the main OS and Sonar drive and is still using this configuration (only added a green 2TB drive for backup later). I can't find any Samsung spinpoin..

windows 8 curiosity

I'm snowbird between Arizona and Minnesota. Have computers in both places as does my wife. They are not even close to the same... even different motherboards for one thing. I take back cloned disks, pop them in and am ready to go. Windows 7 asks to be activated and does it on line in about 5 seconds..

Recomendations of Windows 8 Touchscreen Ultrabook for X2

I have to select a light laptop for mainly use with Sonar X2. My budget is $1,000 I am not going to record more than one stereo track at the time, but I would like to run more effects and instruments than what my current Compaq NX9420 can do.

AMD FX

Noticed that some of the AMD processors are rated quite high in terms of value (bang-for-the-buck) here: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php In particular, the AMD FX-6300 Six-Core or AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core look nice. Has anyone tried building a DAW with one of these processors? Good or bad res..

Acronis let me down, I've moved to Macrium for backup software

I had a motherboard failure (on a second home PC) and when it failed it also corrupted the hard drive. No problem, I thought, as I have a couple versions of full hard drive backups on a USB connected hard drive. After I replaced the motherboard (had to use a different board as the exact replacement ..

Request for hardware suggestions for a new PC build

Someone came to me asking if I could build a computer specifically for running Cakewalk Sonar X2. She has a budget of around $500 for the entire build. I build a lot of pc’s, mostly gaming and general use, so I’m comfortable with the build, picking quality components, compatibility, etc. What I don’..

Separate PC for music production?

I just got a new PC but instead of simply replacing the old lower spec one I already have I'm thinking of using it for internet/email/MS Office and a few other day-to-day things while using the new higher spec simply as a music PC just for running Sonar X1, virtual instruments etc. (and not connecte..
