The "no dualcore probs" posts are just like the error reports!

There must be a logical solution to this... maybe it's something related with something which has nothing to do with CPU or anything else...

Abstractcats: which host are you using?

No it's not related with any contest: the aim is to put together a CD for Halloween with dark inspired tracks in the "Dambient" genre (please to have an explanation about this genre ask in that thread because my opinion now is a little bit compromised

). Last year the single CD is grown up as a 3 CD set you can hear and download the songs & cd covers here: http://www.shanesanders.com/allhallowseve/2008.html

Thank you for the direct links, I'll listen to them later

Have a good day,

Impressive sounds MA-Simon! .... I'll sample a couple of sections, loop them about, squeeze them through a lo pass, add some filtered white noise to replace the top, add more reverb .... and enter the result for the damnbient album!

OK, back on topic .... yeah Mac, I can see it's possible that folks might find the voting period encroaches on their writing time, but then that is only because the voting period would be extended. However, launching comps earlier means we have to make decisions on 'next synths' quicker .... and this actually extends the writing period! .... so it's only 'dead' time that I'm trying to take out.

For example, I can decide now, (due to a good amount of feedback ... thanks guys! ) that Gargoyle is next..... so although the comp will be launched in 6 days time, we can start on our tracks now! Going with the usual 3 weeks, the closing date will be on or around the 28th .... so anyone reading this post now actually has 4 weeks to write their track

.... thats a whole week to make a solid start, then take a break and attempt to cast a vote ... two weeks to duck backwards and forwards between writing and judging ( if it takes that long ), and still a whole week to finish writing/mixing/uploading etc. ..... so, yeah! ... I think it'll work out well!

( also, if I can squeeze a few days out over the next two comps, we can maybe take a Xmas/New year break!

)

FL8 and some time FL9 but 9 has some things I still getting used to
One of the great new items in 9 Vocdex! this thing sound fantastic!

I've been thinking of investing in either Ableton or Reason, any thoughts on these? Thanks.

No idea about Live. But I don't like Reason, you cant use VST plugins in it.
Ok so you are using FL... another FL user which have problems with SE stuff. Thank you for the info.

No VSTs in reason! Thats a LOT of money for no VST use.

Also on SE I read that its not compatible with x64 but it loaded just fine on PC with x64, to bad it seems SE is not going to be with us much longer...

Yes, you have to use his own synths, samplers, etc... It's a "close" system.

Yes it's the same thing I'm thinking about. Too much crash reports in the last months; as people is moving on different hosts and system configurations the situation seems to be catastrophic. The dualcore problems seems to be fixed but now there are the quad core crashes! Also some hosts seems to have problems... and the situation is totally unclear as your x64 report suggest!

To sum up: it's a big mess

A note about Live: some weeks ago I had some chatting with a SAE teacher and he said they use Live to teach audio programming and sequencing, besides the fact it seems created with live usage in mind a lot of people choosed live as their main host/DAW. Anyway it's very different from any other piece of software, so be sure to investigate if it fits your needs.

On the DAW side I like the new Presonus Studio One. I think it will be the next big DAW. Check it out, maybe is what you are looking for

Hmmm, I'm not convinced FL is the problem .... I rarely have any probs with plugs! ( and your stuff runs fine here! ).... but then I'm a single core dinosaur!

Max, you may want to have a look at the kassiopia thread .... the developer is having similar reports, and it has been suggested that there may be a soundcard issue.

I have a feeling that it will soon be poss on a multicore ( if not already ) to choose how many cores individual progs run on, so these probs will be managable whether or not SE, FL, etc sort it out.

Exactly! You are on a single core!

But almost all crash reports are from people on dual or quadcore using FL!

Yes I'm following the thread but I think the soundcard theory is not correct. I'm sure it's something strictly connected with programming and VST SDK implementation in SE.

I hope so, but this is already possible for some DAWs to choose dual or single core usage and this doesn't solve the problem

Blah we'll see how things develop.

tattiemannie · Post by **tattiemannie** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:52 pm

Yeah, and until then .... I'll hang on to my single core!

maybe we need a new comp! .... The One-Core-Challenge!

I was reading the part about FL crashing in FL on a dual/Quad core PC and I can confirm that! One of the main reasons I learned to work on computers, I started doing music on pc's about three years ago on a 500 MHZ processor and then built one with a Dual core and then on to a quad core setup.
And still get many crashes with the speed of a quad core and 4 gig ram! So we hope to see a better FL in the future

Nice track Yeager. If "no midikeyboard" then what?

You got some convincing brass, almost strings, and even vox out of this thing.

Well it's a shame because I think there's a lot of good SE stuff our there

It would be really sad to lost all that synths/effects.
