Hi George!!
I hear you. However, Chi mentioned in his post that he would specifically be using Sonar. That's
why I mentioned the fact that Sonar 5 will work on dual core systems. The good thing is that it
doesn't matter whether you are using the 32 bit or, 64 bit version of Windows XP.
Regarding Windows XP 64 bit, that is a completely different OS to Vista. I personally don't think
that software vendors will ever code a version of Jaws for the 64 bit addition of Windows XP.
However, I do think they will get around to coding Jaws for Vista.

That's fine, Phil, so long as everyone appreciates that no
all software is designed this way.
Too many people are still using software such as Office 97,
for example, where performance doesn't improve one iota.

George, from my reading up on this, Sonar is written for
duel core processor systems.
Found this on:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1784125
As said above Sonar5, ACID 6 and Podium (supports up to 32
processors).
And got the item below from:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=432220&mpage=1%E9%B9%BF
I think you should read what it does do already: SONAR's got
possibly the best mult-processor (not
just dual) support of any current DAW.
Finally:

Lots of discussion on that one about using Sonar 5 on a duel
core AMD system. Not sure if they are
using Sonar on the 64 bit version of Windows though.
Obviously the 64 nbit version of Windows would
be out for us at the moment.

I hate to spoil the myth, but dual processors don't actually
double the speed of your system without software which can
make use of the process.
Before investing in such a beast, check with your software
manufacturer to see if their software is designed for dual
processor use.
You may find you are in for a few disappointments.

Hi Chi!!
You may want to consider upgrading your CPU to a duel core
processor. Duel core processors are chips that have 2
processors on one chip. For example, if you had a duel core
3 gig then, in actual fact, you would have 6 gig of
processing power.
Regarding the 64 bit version of Windows, Jaws or, CT don't
work on it at all. I am not sure if Jaws will ever be coded
for the 64 bit version of Windows Xp. They may get around
to coding it for vista though.

Hi,
I have a 2.9ghz intel cpu, 1gb ddr ram, and 2 300gb sata
hard drives.
At first, I was doing small production like rhythm section
plus vocal, and I had no problem in
terms of computer power.
But as I aproach my graduation from a music college, I
found myself involved with bigger projects
such as dealing with studio orchestra with lots of
additional tracks (rhythm section, synth,
voice, and so on).
My school provide record session at a professional
commercial studio with protool, then I bring
the entire session on a hard drive and import on a sonar
project that I've been already working on
with some midi tracks to be added with live recording.
When loading the heavy project, jaws started to become
sluggish, and it caused drop outs
especially when inserting some indivisual effects for
certain tracks and bus effects.
I'm using asio with 512 latency. I can't even think about
128 latency. it won't even start
playing. Just drop out before playback!
Anyways, I was thinking about upgrading my system, but I
realized there are quite a few upgrades
coming up.
Sonar upgraded to 5.2, and jaws released public beta
upgrade, and I believe windows vista is
coming out sometimes later.
Top of that, there's new jaws script for sonar from JSonar
Development.
Not to mention, there's sibelius that I need to use to
make scores for orchestra and so on.
Sibelius also upgraded.
I'm lost with all those near future stuff. What do you all
think I should do? I'd appreciate all
of your oppinion.
thanks,
PS: Does jaws and caketalking run on windows 64 eddition?
