Sonar vs Cubase vs Reaper - A small Test I was playing around with Reaper this weekend to see what all the Fuss is about and I decided to run a 24 Track test project in all three and document some results. The Tracks were 12 Tracks of Audio from the Back and Forth Sonar test with 12 tracks of Sine wave each with an Instance of Izotope Ozone VST. I wanted to see what CPU Usage and Memory they used.

7 [Release Notes] has dedicated support for Cubase / Nuendo, Live, Logic, Pro Tools, Sonar, FL Studio, Reason, REAPER, Studio One, Samplitude. Like volume, mute/solo, sends, DAW + surfer = dawsurf; But in REAPER, the depth of customisability allows themes to be specialised - and Imperial is just such a theme. Jul 16, 2015. A new Cubase inspired theme was recently posted by Cube13 and it looks great. Eyssina by Cube13 is an advanced theme for REAPER V5 with lots of extras. The install requires extra attention so please backup files and read the instructions thoroughly. Go to the forum for all the details. This theme is.

The results were quite interesting: Sonar 7.03 22-32 CPU Usage - Memory used 320Mb Cubase 4 27-36 CPU Usage - Memory Used 235Mb Reaper 2.3 33-41 CPU Usage - Memory Used 199Mb The interesting thing was that although Sonar was Highest of all the Memory Usage it was the most efficient with CPU Usage whereas Reaper was lean on Memory but Highest on CPU Usage. Cubase was firmly in the Middle.

One thing that does impress me with Reaper is that it's a 3.1 Mb.exe as opposed to Sonar (12.6 Mb) and Cubase (24 Mb) being bigger Installations. The Whole Download of Reaper Including the PDF manual and a demo song is only 13.2Mb whereas Sonar install is Just over 1Gb (Excluding Content like Session drummer etc) and Cubase is roughly 480Mb (Excluding synths, tutorials etc).

Surely its because it doesn't have as many features and functions as Sonar. Besides, disk space is cheap so what difference does it really make? Also, you can't just go by the size of the exe, you have to take into account all of the dlls too.

It impresses me that the app is a 3.2 Mb Download and crammed full of features, sure it doesn't have the Eye candy and some other bloatware that Sonar has (Publisher etc) but it still has a lot of bang for the buck, it has a lot of features that Sonar and Cubase dont but also has a lot that are missing, like Midi wise. It just seems that it's very efficient in a lot of ways. I love Sonar but it's refreshing to see a well programmed bit of software that doesn't come as a 1 Gb core application like the beta testers used to have a 900+ Mb download for every Change in the Installer package in S6 and 7.

Dan, I couldn't comment on the beta versions of anything cake does, specifically. Normally other companies (which will remain nameless) have a change log and just say what files have changed. Although most just give you a part update ( the few files that have been revised) or yep the full version, it just avoids any compatibility issues if some things haven't been updated. I don't mind beta testing things, I do for others. My attitude is, if it helps the final product that's all good. Also your getting to use something that's new / fresh before others. Half the fun is trying to make things crash really badly or find really obscure bugs.

Thing with the prices and the app's themselves. If your gonna buy a car you expect a lot more extra's with the more expensive model. When rapture won the award, they thanked their competitors. Which was nice, but it's true.

All the companies are wanting the end users to use their products over a rivals, we all have finite money to spend on things. If it up's the DAW makers game, that's a good thing for the consumer. I would prefer the software use more RAM and less CPU since I have huge amounts of ram and an older CPU.

I've never used over 26 tracks in any project I've recorded, and Sonar runs great. I've never tried running 24 or more tracks with my Melodyne plugin, EZdrummer, Trilogy, Dimension Pro, and lots of other plugins. I'm curious as to how much punishment my system can take. Sonar seems to be very good with processor usage, but now I'm moving more into synths/samplers since I can fix my goof ups easily. I dont have any other tracking software to compare it with, though.

From each products own CPU meter, or from Windows Task Manager? I have both Sonar and Reaper on my Asus Eee PC micro laptop and between the two, Reaper feels a lot more robust. The minimum system CPU specs as per Reaper's manual are a 500Mhz CPU. Sonar calls for a minimum of a 1.3Ghz CPU. More so than that though, the scalability of the GUI is a real hot button for me. Here's a screen capture of both Sonar and Reaper running on my Eee PC.

Here's Sonar. Console view almost fits, but is partially off the screen. Here's Reaper. Scaled back to 80% both the console and track views fit quite nicely.

ORIGINAL: AndyW Hey Glenn, Everyone has their own issues and one product doesn't fit all.case in point, I could care less about GUI scalability.I don't use console view and use two big monitors. This is not to say that I don't understand and appreciate why the issue is important to you.just pointing out that there are broad differences in the needs of the user base. I've been using an Asus Eee PC to record my band live at gigs, so it does matter to me. Been getting some pretty good recordings too. I get a line from the house mix, plus we put two Neumann TLM103s on big studio booms over the band.

Oh, I absolutely undestand.if I was using a laptop I'd care more about the GUI also. BTW.I hate you because you have TLM103's. Not my mics though, they belong to my vocalist (Big daddy). This is the kind of I'm getting with it. Microsoft Removal Tool Kb890830 on this page. ORIGINAL: audiothings Glennbo, whats that skin on reaper. Could you post a link please?

The one on my machine is difficult to get around. Thanks, That skin is a mod I made of the really really cool skin from 'White Tie' appropriately called 'Troublemaker'. I used some components from another skin and tweaked the meter colors myself. Hopefully Sonar will one day be skinnable and scalable, so that someone who's an actual artist can do the graphics instead of some engineer.

Anyway, here's a link to the mod I made of White Tie's Troublemaker skin. Hi guys, For the record, we've talked about this extensively in the benchmark and other threads here and in other forums. TAFKAT devloped a universal benchmark that runs in Sonar, Cubase/Nuendo and Reaper. Do a search and you'll find it here and also at his website: -- I have personally confirmed these results myself on both my quad- and octo-core machines, as well as a dual-core laptop and other tests I've run. Sonar is definitely running behind in the performance department and has a lot to catch up to in comparison.

However, the good news is that our good friends at Cakewalk know about this and have already been working on new optimizations. Sonar 8 should probably see some good performance gains. But in the end, this performance issue is not as important as the features and usefulness of the apps to the individual users themselves. I happen to love Sonar, but I also use and own a bunch of other DAW apps and use them in various projects.

Performance mainly comes into play when I have to deal with extremely low latency (where Sonar struggles compared to some of the others) or massively CPU-intensive projects that require the most out of all the cores. There are other issues too, but often, Sonar is my first choice to start a project if there are no conflicting demands that supersede my preference. So, use what you love, and don't worry too much about it. And also remember that Cakewalk does know about the performance gap and has been working on it. Well hopefully something that will come out of all this hullabaloo is that the baker's will tweak their engine a little bit.

Esi Tronic 2013 2q Keygen For Mac there. It's not possible to make SONAR a lean beast the way REAPER is, it's too late to go back to a model like that. BUT it can be worked on so it's performance is just as agile. I used REAPER on a legacy laptop for band rehearsals since SONAR choked it to death and I was impressed with that, but otherwise found REAPER to be a little clumsy for the bigger and deeper tasks. I think they solve slightly different problems but if SONAR's next rev has a killer audio engine it will be a moot point IMHO.

I have to say though, the GUI resizing is a pretty frickin' awesome feature. Being able to dynamically adjust the GUI for the monitor you're on is handy.

Ask.fmに質問があったのでここで。 Q 失礼いたします。いつも拝見させてもらっています。 質問なんですが。 1.ミックスの話です。パンの振り方はそれぞれどうなっていますか？ 2.リバーブ等のエコーの設定は？ 3.歌もののパンニングおすすめは？ よろしくお願いします。 A 1.キック、スネア、ハイハット、ベース、ボーカルはパンを中央にするのが基本です。その他はあまり決まってないです。 極端な例ですが、宇多田ヒカル – はベースが左右に揺れてたり、ということもありますので、、曲に合わせて自由な発想でやっていいと思います。 振り過ぎると分離しすぎて気持ち悪いのでバランスですね。 2.リバーブの設定は、FXトラックにエフェクトを立ち上げ、ウェットを100%にしてセンドリターンで調節するのが基本です。リバーブタイプはホールタイプが基本。 作ってる曲と似たような曲を用意して、掛かり具合を真似してみるとうまくできるかなと思います。 3.歌モノの場合、歌が中心なので、歌を邪魔しないように、歌と被って聴こえづらくなっている楽器を左右にズラします。 また、ハモリも2本でちょっとずつそれぞれ左右にズラすといい感じです。 いずれの場合も結局はバランスなので、色んな曲を聴いてみるのがいいですね。.
