Well, when my 3 days Free Trial ended there was enough time for me to take advantage or disadvantage 😉 of this ‘25% off‘ for the ‘Yearly Membership‘. The download, install, and authorization went smoothly, although I had to install ‘Platinum‘ to install the extra plugins etc, you’d think they would have developed a way around that by now, with either the ‘Command Center‘ or as it’s called today the ‘Product Center‘ and just have it connect to your account with the ability to download, install, and authorize all the products in your account and have it do it without the need for ‘SONAR Platinum‘,’ X3e‘, or whatever installed. But it is what it is.

It didn’t take long for me to overcome the issues I expressed above and for the memory to slowly start to come back. I want to do a couple of tests, nothing ‘scientific‘, just what I call ‘real world‘ tests. All I do is start loading Sonar up with tracks and instruments, and not just slamming anything on, have it as I would have it if doing a project. Then have Studio One the same, or as close as can be possible, same plugins, same settings, BFD3 same kit, Trilian, same model bass and settings. Now I either need to add something extra on Sonar to compensate for the instances of MixFX I use in Studio One or not compensate and leave Studio One disadvantaged from the start, which is what I usually do when comparing because I don’t know what or how much to add to make it even. Yeah I know I could just disable MixFX all together and solve the problem, but I must have Studio One as it is when it’s being used. Anyway, after that I just start doubling up tracks and or Instrument tracks as needed until one or the other starts to spit and cough, then take it a little bit more until the other starts to spit and cough and then just back it off a little. I’m not interested in bringing therm or the PC to the ground. It’s just for my own curiosity, I do it every couple of years. Yes, it is not very scientific, and yes it may have faults etc, but for me it’s a good enough ‘real world‘ test.
