Need help - i5 vs i7

Hey folks,Struggling with making a decision... I need to upgrade my CPU. The main contenders are i5-7600 and i7-7700.

Windows 10 - Lose Sound When Exiting Sonar Professional

Hey, guys - I rarely post, but my DAW/system has developed a fault, and I wondered if anyone had seen it? I'm Windows 10 on the latest and greatest patch level, soundcard is Focusrite Saffire 24 DSP (current driver), into a Firewire card. Sonar Professional is fully up to date. When I exit Sonar (wh..

Win10 FYI - beware hybernate

While reviewing backup logs I noticed that my system drive backup size had increased by nearly 14G. I found a hybernate file of 13.8G. Hybernation was apparently enabled during the windows update process a few days ago. There is no way to control via setup GUIs. Hybernation is disabled by entering '..

Anyone using Sonar on a 4K UHD display?

Hi Folks. I am seriously considering getting a 27" 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) display for use with Sonar. Up until now, I have been using a 30" 2560 x 1600 display. I prefer using Sonar on one high def display rather than a pair of monitors. I am wondering how others using specifically Sonar Platinum on a..

Good, stable Thunderbolt PCIe Card?

I'm looking to switch from a PCIe/D-Sub-based Lynx Aurora to a Thunderbolt-based UA Apollo 16 (in part because of the free Octo satellite promotion, since I had been eyeing it anyhow). However, my PC, while new, does not have a Thunderbolt port. It has the USB-C (I think that's what it's called, not..

Please Help Me Understand This Windows Partition Behavior....

Hi Guys, I rebuilt an XP DAW and the main disk has 2 partitions. However when I use an older bootable version of Ghost it doesn't see things like XP does. In XP they are seen as C:SYS_VOL and D:SAMP_VOL, both reflected as primary partitions. All this is what I would expect. However Ghost sees the sy..

USB Ground Loop

I've been struggling with a USB Ground loop problem in my set since I began this as a hobby last year. I have a few synths as well as a Focusrite 18i20 Gen 2. I've tried several suggestions from this forum (as well as the Keyboard Central forum), but nothing has worked. My next step is to buy an ine..

I have offline backup but 3 hard drives have died in the past month and a half(all western digital; all seagates are fine). I have a hotswap ba..

Will Sonar benefit from an AMD Threadripper CPU?

I'm putting together a parts list for a 1950X Threadripper build and just curious if Sonar (or other DAWs) would benefit from having some many cores? 16core/32 threads. I primarily design sounds and composer music for games. So at one time I have the Unreal 4 up, with either Sonar or Pro Tools, capt..
