depends keyman, what part of your arsenal is Guru fulfilling for you?

Thanks. What do you mean by checking if my CPU is a problem one? Is there a list of CPUs that wont work with B3? For now, i'm not going to upgrade my RAM because i've already bought a lot of stuff this month. I'm almost broke. But maybe next year, i'll buy more ram. I'm going to try B3 demo. Lets see how good it is.

I think it's about the P4 Dual Core (I have one clocked to 3.6GHz). In a nutshell, the processor will continue to try and 'denormalise' high resolution audio until the calculations become so intense that there's a larger and larger use of the CPU, or 'CPU Spike'.

Some hosts like Traction have a 'dither' mode you can select that will take all audio tails (from big plugins and reverbs, etc.,) and insert noise at -300db or greater to stop the CPU from doing this.

For hosts that don't feature this option, you can insert a dithering plugin on the master buss (like Waves IDR, for example) which will do the same thing.

You can read more about that here:

don't confuse "dither" with "low level noise to avoid denormalisation"

From the article above:

"Alternatively, you could add a small continuous amount of dither noise to the audio so that signals never drop to this level..."

does anyone know how to convert the kit files to drm files for import into cubase drum maps

IMO, GURU and Battery compliment each other nicely.

Agreed! In fact, I would probably expand the list. I routinely mix 3 or 4 different percussion apps together, of course it depends what kind of music you're making.
