[El' Matator]

I have a dual cpu Xeon, will that work with Reaper?(I'm talking about 2x cpu, not dual core)


Thanks you!

OLE ' MAT !!!!!!
you luky sob.....lol
xeons.....go to it mamma !!! turn on the steam !!!...lol.
load up on memory, and some nice funky hunky fast drives.
heh heh....what drives do you have ?? 15 k jobbies ??
reaper should scream on that set up....lol.
only area i would test out would be the sound card.
make sure you get a good compatible sound card with excellent
low latency drivers. if your about to buy a sound device
ask the manufacturer of your sound device if there is any particular prob with your motherboard before buying the sound device.
triple OLE'....
poem....4 u...
i got me a xeon,...man its strong,
lots of tracks for any song,
prolly do a hundred tracks or more,
and oodles of plug ins galore...

Yea! I'm hopping for 100 track, but it didn't happend with Cubase
but I'm sure Cubase was the problem, Cubase cpu is very bad..

my sound card is RME 9632, am i ok?

I got 2 gigs of ram, 3 hard drives, 1 for progarmmes, one for sample IDE 7200, 1 for audio scsi 7200 but I'm watchinf the 10K, 15k price goin down very quickly(wink).

re....am i ok....ole'...RME

really the only way is to load up reaper...(dont be afraid...
the big scythe of whatever wont come down on you....lol)
and TEST.
record/mix/....TEST....its the only way cos every confign is different. then if you have a problem come to this forum.
but i doubt you will. if windows runs fine then so too should rpr. unless theres something winky in your set up.

just a computer engineering comment.

running xeons with slow drives is kinda sad...
lol.....i suspect your limitation is your drives.

Agreed, I'll test it, that's the easiest way..

About the drives, I've seen scsi 10k at a little more than $200 US, and i suspect they will come really cheap soon because of the technology that's coming...Actualy, I'm waiting for the 15k to come down, it sound't be too long. That'll be fun!!!

monsieur ole'...the bullfighter...
as a stop gap look at some 16mb cache hard drives.
if your useing lesser cache HD's....like 2mb for example.
(about 89 buks for 7200 rpm).
two things audio likes other than gobs of memory...(remember in multitracking buffering
of audio is done in little buffer "buckets" thus 16mb cache hd is better than 8 is better than 2)...FAT HD CACHES AND you cant beat rpm often. if you get a 15k rpm i'd be curious what performance stats you get/track counts.
but as always...see if you can borrow a 15k on test to see "real world" performance. but i suspect reaper will just fly on that set up. bcos its so lean an install to start with compared to many other bloated packages. (...lol.)

hmmm ..just thought up a name for a new band....lol...
freddy fat cache and the bullfighters.....
forgive my bad humour...lol.

...Interesting stuff, I'll keep that in mind...

He! manning, you seem to be in a good mood these days, does Reaper has something to do with this?

re...happy...
yep wifeys retiring....now for peace n' fun.
on that mousewheel idea of start/stop .....
some folks use a wireless keyboard remotely from the pc.
for example....lets say your a gigundous studio with a control room n' a big main recording room.
put the tower in a well ventilated cubby hole somewhere ...
then...tween the soffit monster speakers hang one a them gigundous
60 miles wide lcd's jobbies ....and under your ssl console (or whatever.....lol...) put a remote pc keyboard in a pull out drawer idea...wireless.
