Hi All, My Name is Steve W, Just joined the group Yesterday. I've always used hardware equipment and painstakingly memorised all the screens and counted the cursor (4 across 6 down) all that crazy stuff. 6 Weeks ago I started using Sonar with Caketalking, It's fantastic having this kind of access. I just have one little question: I use sometimes ten or more applications on my projects, I've been using Dimension Pro as the Samples are mostly very good, especially once you've pitched some of them correctly. I only have the peak meters on and the CPU Conservation mode is on yet, I'm still having the samples break up. Is this due to me only having 3GB of Ram or is it my USB M-Audio Sound Card. Thanks in Advance Steve W www.jerryleelewis.co.uk
