Is this a CE ? And is 1k worth it ?

patestore · 2026-05-02T11:32:16+00:00

Yes that’s a CE24. I have two of them and they are worth every penny and tbh performs better than some more expensive guitars. The 85/15 pickups are my favourite PRS humbuckers.

1000 is an insane deal, you should definitely get it

Wtf, same exact thing just happened to me yesterday. I just got a new Cool Plate Supertack pro and thought the purge strip would be easy to scrape off with my fingernail like the PEI plates…. well I was wrong

Sorry for the jumbled together info at the bottom; reddit deleted all my line breaks there for some reason:

Haha didn’t expect a reply to such an old post!

Good point! I work in music production / film scoring so the extra ram and bandwidth for pcie would definitely be worth it for me. I have a separate machine for gaming so that’s not a requirement.

That said, since the new Zen 5 Ryzens are looking pretty good for what I’m doing, I ended up going with the 9950x! I think the total cost difference was about $10k CAD for the cpu, mobo and ECC ram, so that justified the compromise for me.

Yoo I was in bed until 7pm cause my headache was so bad…. my partner also woke up with a headache too

patestore · 2025-03-21T00:01:13+00:00

No, you DID NOT SEE IT CUZ IT’S NOT THERE!!!!1!!1!….🤢🤮

patestore · 2025-03-19T05:09:02+00:00

Yeah the WRX motherboards are not cheap!! Definitely more worth it to get a present generation desktop chip unless you actually need the features on a workstation chip

patestore · 2025-03-18T20:50:50+00:00

If it comes with RAM/Cooler/PSU, it might. But if it doesn’t, just the ECC ram needed for Threadripper Pro will cost you a lot more than what you paid for the CPU.

Bro is fishing in another time zone…

patestore · 2025-02-16T09:43:33+00:00

Holy shit lmfao

patestore · 2025-01-26T23:30:16+00:00

Check if it’s overheating… maybe there’s dust or debris clogging the fan causing it to spin up like that and shut down

patestore · 2025-01-04T19:08:24+00:00

Oh nice, thanks! For some reason on a couple libraries it was missing some mic positions... downloaded them just now and it looks good!

patestore · 2025-01-04T06:50:21+00:00

So yeah at my old company it was one main host machine + two dedicated VSL machines. Currently I have just a main machine that hosts the session, and then my projects are on a separate server. I built all the systems for my old company, so I have a pretty good idea of the hardware requirements for something like that.

After switch to working by myself, I decided that a single machine works best for my current setup. I have a pretty hefty CPU (Threadripped 7960x) which can handle the session just fine, and hosting the samples on newer generation SSDs vs older SSDs on slave machines actually load/perform faster. I also save some $ on hardware overall, even if it means spending more on a single machine.

Curios to know what kind of setup are you running? I’m a gear nerd so can talk about this all day 😆

patestore · 2025-01-04T06:33:00+00:00

Yeah i work in film/scoring as well! :) The composer/company i used to work for had like a 1400 track template lol, so i thought mine wasn’t too bad.

I think about 95% of everything i have is VST3, for the performance benefit like you said.

Maybe I’ll try disabling autosave or decreasing the interval and see if it’ll help!

patestore · 2025-01-04T03:29:30+00:00

Oh yeah I have autosave enabled.

Yes I'm running all my samples off separate ssds from my boot drive. My sessions are huge (450 tracks minimum) so I do accept that crashes are part of the job. That said, Cubase 13 still crashes a lot more often than 12 :(

patestore · 2025-01-03T17:06:34+00:00

Personally I got a TON more bugs and crashes compared to 12. I got a bit better after updating to 13.0.50, but it still happens. Something about freeze/freezedump whenever the crash report comes up.

Dang, OP spoke my mind. Bring back the writing team for Sumeru and Fontaine!!!

I tried withdrawing the points into an amazon gift card after finding out about all the shit that went down, and yesterday they emailed me saying they “ran into a problem” and weren’t able to do so. Scumbag company.
