I finally have got a few things running in this new Cubase setup.
AMD 4800+. Here is a little rambling about it's power.
Check this out!
I have 12 tracks playing 12 different instruments in Cubase through =
Kontakt. All native.
Basses, violins, pianos, harps, bassoons, pads, guitars you name it. =
Using at peak points
45 voices. CPU peaks at =
20%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!=
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
90 voices I am assuming 40%. 180 voices? 80%? This may be the limit =
give or take.
Not gonna be a problem with anything anymore. I am in heaven and I =
can't even hear a note.
Meters are jumping around on all parts but no worries in the CPU =
department.
I'm thinking that extra gig of Ram (3 gig total) might just be the final =
final on this rig.
I also know that I have another 10 synths I can add from Creamware to =
bolster
this with virtually no hit to the CPU but some to RAM of course. Nutz =
I'm telling ya, just nutz!
Sounds will never be the problem again. Power will never be an issue. =
Granted Kontakt
has onboard native effects that will suck a little more juice. Oh, so I =
can only get 150 voices.
Jeez, before I was struggling along with 48 total using two Roland =
samplers.
____________________________________________________________ __
Okay I changed a few things and got 80 voices and 16 tracks running. =
The CPU peaked at 22%.
Obviously voice numbers are less demanding as compared to sample size =
and
processing of actual synth engines. These are all samples with nothing =
extra happening.
I'll be sleeping well tonight. Dreaming about the next synths to load =
in.
T. as in B.
I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you?

Happy geekyear indeed! Native DAWs rock, with a sufficiently fast system.

DJ,
ASUS A8R-MVP. Chris' recommendation. There are faster systems now
but if you have the chip go for it.
