ok, maybe the topic is old and already irrelevant, but let me say that I had the same problem before.
The bad thing was not even the time lag, but the fact that if I make another command until the...

I had the same problem in Win7/64bit. Sometimes the system stopped working.
When there were too much regions in the project I started to have problems with slowdown.
And there was a message: "you...

About VBC…. I solved the problems with the analog summing with this box :-)

Very good work, Mike! :)

There is a small (or maybe not so small) problem with the aiff support, Bob. When I import edl from another computer, or if the location of the files is changed, I should tell the program where the...

Bob,
Converting from mp3 is not corelated with exporting in mp3. For example, if we have to import some mp3 files, the software can convert them to wav, using the audio folder of the project or the...

Dave, you are right. But... Many times we have to deal with a signal with a huge dynamic range. In this case the good preamp shows it's quality.
I think about the headroom more like the possibility...

SOME cheap preamps clip before the converters will. What you...

The preamp is a very critical part in the recording chain. Cheap preamps don't have enough headroom, especially with sources with big dynamic range.
I prefer clean, not "tube" preamps. Like Apogee...

I use the both systems- PT and SS. They both have their strong and weak points IMHO. PT has native integration with omf/aaf, wich is ery important when working on complex audio/video projects. Also,...

They claim their mixing engine is 48 integer. I don't know is this real or no, only a developer like Bob can say the truth:-)
But for many people it is important to know what is the situation when...

AFAIK Pro Tools in it's early implementations was written with integer math of the mixer. And the book I took it from was from this years... Now they are 32 floating point.
Or maybe it's a myth?

"How about the theory that you degrade the sound if you move the faders off of unity gain?
Ah, total BS. Pro Tools calculates all volume and pan coefficients as 24-bit coefficients. It doesn’t...

Bob, only one question,
You said that you installed your RME card on Win8 with the XP drivers.
Is it possible? Can I use my PCI RME 9652 with win8?
In the moment I removed it from the Win7 system...

Maybe.
In my case I had a lot of problems, finally switched back to XP.
And, if I have to explain to the students about the tweaks and XP compatibility mode , the answer will be: XP compati.......

Keep the X60.
On all new laptops you will be forced to work in Win7. Believe me, it is pain in the ..... with SawStudio.
I demonstrated to my students SS as the most flexible and fast audio...

I think he is talking about horizontal zooming, not vertical.
On machines without numpad of the keyboard the only way is mouse scroll.... So, get a mouse :-)
X60 is a good computer...

Yes, but I mean realtime - during play... Ok, it doesn't matter, because I can not edit during play mode in SS, so it is not a very big advantage to scrub the cursor in play mode. My mistake.. Sorry

"2. If the timeline can be not only listed from page to page, but moved accordingly to the edits - like scrubbing - with a shortcut - Shift/mouse scroll. in realtime..."

Maybe the problem is in my...

Ok, I mean a very miniature marks on the top of the timeline. If the sound engineers have a view of the marks, they are more effective IMHO.

And the other things? Shift/scroll is still empty... :-)

Bob,

1. Can the position of the timeline be saved with the session?
It can be very useful in big projects for the timeline to go automatically to the point of the last edit...

2. If the...

The delay view is very good!

How many ins and outs the Firestudio mobile has? I have Firestudio 26/26 and have not any problems with SS in XP... maybe I can help with the tweaking of the drivers application - in 26/26 it is...

Very interesting....

It will produce a noise every time the settings of the file in raw mode are not correct, you have to try to figure the right settings by yourself, the idea is good.
Maybe the header is uncorrect in...
