"Bob Donald" > HIO, why the hell do you have me playing with overclocking
now!!! LOL

I just mentioned the word.

Bob,... it sounds like you are indeed a closet overclocker. They have clubs
for that you can join. OA. Overclockers Anonymous. LOL

"Bob Donald" > Glad you are having so much fun with this, have you tried the
hulu desktop.

No I haven't. I will tell you this though, I am having fun recording today.
I just finished putting down a simple but slamming live mix of my wife on
piano and voice and me on drums and voice. I used only Sonitus plugs and
the fidelity sounds great although the performance was a little rusty. I
will be recording a lot now. It is fun for me and I used to hate tracking
as an artist. I hooked up this mini computer keyboard with an extension
cable up to my new computer and can start and stop from across the studio
while playing the V drums. I will lay down a bass and my guitars next. It
is all good. Everything is set up in a track template and no set up
required every time I fire up Reaper and Reaper loads in just a few seconds.
I will buy this software and the deal of the century IMHO. The GUI
(default) is also growing on me and easy on my eyes. I have track icons and
colors which helps me navigate as well.

Cool it is nice to see your setup and get feedback in this area.

It is the bomb; I am stoked. It seemed so foreign to me for a few days
with the hood up along with a claw light for late night vision but then
everything started to jell for me. I keep waiting for something to fly
into my face and say oh no it doesn't do this or not compatible with that.
The fact of the matter is it is probably more compatible with stuff than any
DAW on the planet. I however don't do beats and loops and I do very little
MIDI so I understand the concept of YMMV.

Bit Bridge. Check

EZ drummer. Check

Plug-in compatibility. Check

Win764. Check

Lowest latency. Check

UAD cards. Check,

Etc., etc.

Even Nuendo and Cubase are having trouble with the UAD cards and Windows 7
it seems. Hey maybe this could be bait for Ted to chime in on info about
what he has in regard to the UAD cards. Someone who is real, please reply
to this post. LOL!!!

Nope, I'm reserving the overclocking exercise to a couple of other cpu's
that I have laying around. I know that I'll never do anything with them,
and nobody is really interested in the D 805 or the 420 celeron, so I
thought I'd play. Yeah, I love that turbo-boost feature of the new core i5's
and 7's, especially since most of what I'm dealing with is using single core
at the moment.

Your master bus should be on the right and you should float your transport.
