Audio
Sonar Producer 8 x64
We utilize Sonar Producer extensively at home when mixing various music tracks. This test performs a complex mix of five individual tracks into a single title. We covert these tracks into a WAV format utilizing a 192kHz sample rate along with all other options enabled. This title thrives on memory bandwidth.
I have been busting thier balls for over 3 years for an app like this. I did ask for Nuendo so they could use it for the video testing too instead Sony Vegas.
Well Sonar @ 64bit/192k is a good start.
With some help from guys here we could probably persuade them to do Cubase/Nuendo and run better benchmarks using VSTi's and MIDI combined.
But this is great to have these guys doing audio.
What I find especially notable is the fact that apps we use are starting to gain popularity.
Otherwise they wouldn't even be doing these tests.
This will help out watching new Mobo designs tested from someone other than Steinberg or the DAW builder.
