    Disk usage 5%? So it is (nearly) all in ram?

    No no. The play button is engaged and the CPU is running. (And Zo mentions only one limiter plugin). :)

    You mean because of the amount of RAM available to Sonar? Or disk caching? Or?

    PS: You do realise it is only about 127 MB of data? And that is being generous as not all tracks have samples/loops that fill the full 4 beat length of the playback loop.

    just some explanations :

    this a real sound designing job i'm doing , each songs contains as you can see loops (4 or 8 bars) and sounds solo , of course each songs has it's proper audio files , so i idn't just cloned one song 27 times !!

    for the disk usage , well with nowdayz hdd in a good optimized system reading is smoother than never , writtin is more critical , reading and writin more.....so the disk usage don't surprise me ....

    Are you making a sample CD or did you load a sample CD into Sonar? It looks like sample kits. House construction kits or something. Not actual songs.

    it's a bank cd for a brand that i cannot tell , but yeah , it's not samples but originaly made track s ....so you're right it's like a construction kit as you see cause i makin it ;) so you got an exclu here !!

    will do a special price for sonar user ok !!;)

    on the more serious side i'm thinkin about introducing some in beatscape format or session drummer , dimension .....gotta see with the folks ....
