I'm considering purchasing Sonar X1 to use as my all purpose sequencer and music creator. How I usually do things is I import a midi file full of multiple tracks and equip each track with a VSTi and some real-time effects (compression, reverb, delay, list goes on). I want to know if I would experience any CPU performance issues with this? Note that I would expect to have several instances of some heavy synths or VSTs (ie. Rapture, Z3TA+, Dimension Pro) open in my project as well.
I've got Core i5 with 4GB of RAM.
