One more update. I find I can use ASIO with Notion on boot up. So far so good. I bought Reaper, as others advised elsewhere on the forum, and I like it fine. At $40 it's a real bargain. However, if I try to open Reaper with Notion open, then Reaper advises that ASIO won't load / is not active. So I ...

You could switch to Continuous view for playback. I've found that a lot easier than Page view when I want to play back a certain section. You still can't specify which measures play back, though. That's a feature that Notator had and would be great to have in Notion 3. Not only would it be handy to ...

An update, in case anyone experiences a similar problem. Brian of Notion tech support was very helpful in exploring this issue. After much testing, it seems the issue is that my M-Audio (Delta Series) Audiophile 2496 sound card isn't "letting go" of Notion. Even using ASIO4all, a free down...

It does appear to be an issue with my M-Audio Delta. I'm not using (and haven't opened and then closed) other musical applications when this happens. I may just open a browser, then close it and return to N3, and no sound. It appears to be between Notion 3/Preferences/Audio settings and the M-Audio ...

For quite some time now, there will be times when I open Notion 3 and there is no sound. I may have just been working on a piece and the sounds worked fine. Then I may close Notion and go online. When I return to Notion, no sound. I reboot the computer and Notion works well again. This has happened ...

Thank you, Surfwhammy, for this and many other tech posts on this forum, from which I've learned a lot. Even got wind of a heavy metal (if that is still the term) band, which I would otherwise never have...ah...bent my ear to. One of the limits on my computer is 2GB Ram and apparently this machine c...

Thanks for the suggestions. On thinking further about it, I gather one would have to put all the libraries into the same folder, either on the HD or the external HD (or point N3 from one to another while loading instruments, which would be inconvenient). Since I have 3 libraries now on my main compu...

I've purchased Miroslav Philharmonik but it hasn't arrived yet. The library has 7 GB of sounds. I would like to install it on an external drive, perhaps one with enough room room for Vienna or EWQL if I decide to buy those one day. GPO, N2 and N3 (all installed on the HD) plus Miroslav likely will b...

Many thanks for the suggestions, guys! As it happened I was away for 4 days and had my laptop with Logic 5 on it, and only a little Net access. So I didn't read about the 1 GB limitation re: Logic and VST's on the PC that Ian posted about, but did play with Logic a lot and reread half the manual. I ...

I would like to start using a DAW once I have finished a piece in Notion 3. I am using N3 sounds, N2 sounds, will possibly use GPO sounds (I have it but have not installed it) and possibly Miroslav sounds. I have Logic 5.5.0 for the PC and used it a few years ago. I may tackle Logic again, but am wo...
