Hah! Not much into Motorsports but when an Esto becomes renowned, we all know! LOL

Lol, that's cool. Thought I'd throw it out there. He is fast for sure!

I think I recently ran into a similar hicuup in M9 myself. If I recall correctly, there was a difference between proper load and play if I clicked on a song file from File Explorer (like you mentioned from documents folder), or using the "Browse" button within Mixcraft and navigating to sa...

It may work fine. Or it may not be "enough" This would depend on your specific use. If I were shopping for a system at this point I would strongly prefer a quad core at minimum. And I would also shy away from the "all in one" format for this application, as mentioned. They are r...

Hi, More cores is generally better. The system requirements for some big plugins recommend at least a quad core computer. As to why it ran well on your 2 core computer, it's hard to say, because there are too many variables involved, like amount of RAM, the particular plugins you were running, hard...

Can't really go into core uses and such but I can say that your i5 is an older one and will face limitations with any daw. I have an i7-4750 with 12gb ram and get jacked up when opening more than one vsti open with a few plugins. Processors have come a long way in just the last couple of years. M T...

Funny you say that about ram increase and SSD installed..... Thats what started this whole thing in talking to my Bro, lol. Got me focused on hardware and cost to gain deals. Then a few days later I saw that HP on sale at Costco with 2 yr warranty and no questions asked returns to at least 90 days. ...

I've been toying with idea of changing out my old but cool, M-Audio Axiom Air mini 32 keyboard controller for a more current and possibly better suited setup for my newly upgraded MIxcraft 9 Pro Studio. I'd like to inform as many readers of a find I came across. Nektar Impact LX/LX+ has a driver ava...

No problem! I like the idea of all-in-ones but they become pretty obsolete pretty quickly. Save your $$$ for now and get your bro to build you a beast when you're ready :) You are right about the obsolete thing, I should know because I keep buying reman older imacs and have the same problem, lol. T...

Ive decided to hold off on the all in one deal going. It doesn't seem clear enough the right direction without getting it home to test it. Honestly don't want to go thru possibly taking it back at the moment. Maybe I'll wait for the Ryzen 5 16gb one to go on sale in future, or just consider another ...

I really appreciate all your comments. I can tell what I'm doing is trying to justify getting a much newer and prettier workstation for my learning and getting feet wet over next few years... catching up for lost years I've dragged my toes. I also was trying to keep it simple in questions, but my da...

Update:

Just found out my i5 is a 2014 chip, 4 core/4 thread version.

The new AMD system considering is 2020 chip, 2 core/4 thread version if that makes any difference in music and Mixcraft processing.

Thanks guys! I know it's an unknown far as the two I'm considering, but I wanted to ask generally, and at least give the info best I could for anyone who was savvy. I figured the SSD might make the 2 core even more fast beating out the i5 setup I currently have. I'd rather get a newer machine that I...

Hello all, I know this subject has been talked about in past here for older versions, but I wanted to get feedback specifically about Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio I am now running (loving n learning on). I've read about how 2 cores higher base rate can sometimes work better than 4 cores slower base clock r...

Hello, I've been away for awhile but revisiting my M8ProStudio and sadly just realizing the Performance Panel goodness via a recent article of a Sonar User testing different daws. I had no idea.....I've recently been giving Ableton a second look as it does that kind of workflow so well. Good Stuff M...

Wow! This is a great post to read about here.... So much info head spinning......
