Ok quad core is built and seems to be running just fine. I was going to use
Reaper as the main DAW, BUUUT, I need Acid-like functions. Specifically
the ability to audition loops tempo matched to the piece and easily load
them into a track. Live does this, as does Acid. Reaper doesn't. Damn.
I'm going to try and rewire Live (I've got the 7.0.2 demo) into Reaper and
see how that goes. But I really just want to stay with ONE app in ONE box.
I was thinking about Live, but the demo I've been using is acting really
funny. Multiple envelopes and I'm getting crackles and pops. One would
think its a latency issue, but nope, I've got only 10 tracks running and
Live's own cpu meter says like 6%. (Oh, and 15+ tracks in Reaper -no pops
and crackles.) And, I guess I'm not alone in the problem. Other guys have
reported similar concerns on the Live forums. THis is a deal breaker -unpredictable
popping: mondo drag. SO....I'm thinking Sonar. I called Sweetwater to confirm
that Sonar would behave like Acid -preview loops at project tempo and playback
at project tempo. The guy I talked to, he doesn't know.... I recall some
of you good folks using Sonar -is Sonar on Acid?
