Hi folks

Is it true that Sonar 8 takes up a huge 30gb of disc space?

It wouldn't even fit on my C drive if that's the case.

Cheers
Darren

  Yes, there is a very noticable improvement in overall performance with s8.  
Also, the ability to enable or disable drivers without having to restart is 
great.  I've been using wdm on my laptop with the motu 828 and it works great.  
The advantage of using wdm is that if you want to quickly increase latency when 
mixing down it is much easier.

    CPU usage has to be down as I am running with half of the latency that I 
did in Sonar 7.

      Hello Phil, have you noticed less CPU usage, as they claim, or is it 
still about the same?

      D!J!X!

      Hi all!

      Been playing around in Sonar 8 and I must say that it rocks for audio!  
Being able to see real world values in .VST plug-ins in the track inspector is 
fantastic.  I can now change the routing in the V-64 and see exactly what I am 
doing!  Plus, I have been able to half my audio latency from 5.8MS to 2.9MS, 
using the WDM drivers on the Tascam FW1884.  They really must have recoded 
Sonar a lot, as I can't run with such low latency in any other version of Sonar 
but 8.  This is all on a core duo 2.13 with Windows XP SP 3.
