Ricardo Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Has anyone here using PC successfully migrated their audio or music software from an XP system to a Vista system? I'm still on XP Pro, but I wonder how many of my VST instruments would make the change smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutish Sailor Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 A lot of open source audio software that worked well with XP crapped the pants in Vista due Microsoft's intigration of "What-U-Hear" So Im not a fan of it at all.

WayneOwens Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'll be completely honest, the only thing I'll ever use a Vista for is gaming...I bought my mother one for Christmas last year and she loves it, plus I have MMOFPS I play all the time. I even went to attempt a live broadcast on a remote location with a Vista laptop using TeamSpeak to connect to my remote server...CRAPPED THE ****** TILL IT WAS BLUE IN THE FACE....I could hear audio but when I reied to talk it totrally wiped out on me...XP all the way baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBVoice Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 XP is the way to go! Better yet, MAC! Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries. The rest have big screen TVs. - Jim Rohn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutish Sailor Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 MAC? I rather die from West Nile plague than use a mac interface. Not that I have anything personally against mac, but the cutting edge has never been in the Macintosh reputation, unless it was taking cutting edge software, customising it for macs needs and one-upping it. Nicecast is testimony of this. KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaklio Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Many DJs are having problems with Vista and returning to XP. My DJ team is having a hard time getting our Mbox to work in Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazin 97 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have! And, so far, from December to April, I haven't really had any problems with Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberstreaming Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Wait for windows 7. Vista is a total disaster.. at least for most people.. Lot of programs couldn't be run properly on vista. :( It's a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterRadio Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Do you guys really blame Microsoft for the failure of hardware and software vendors to provide driver updates and patches in order to be compatible with Vista? And those of you knocking Vista have you actually used it or do you use a Mac ad as your basis for knocking Vista? Preventing direct access to the audio stack in Vista is an improvement in my opinion. If you ever had to deal with the Creative Audigy squeal of death you'll understand what I mean. Operating systems evolve and while Microsoft does a pretty good job at ensuring that your favorite software that you ran in Windows 95 or your 8 year old printer works you simply can't ensure 100% of the hardware and software will continue to work. My two cents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutish Sailor Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I have agreed with you on a lot of topics in the past rooster, but on this one Were walking two different directions. Nothing against XP, just Vista. But heres Vista the concept that makes me angry: "Yep, XP is smooth as glass. Hey, I got an idea. Lets make another version of windows! We will make sure its just different enough from XP to be not very cross-compatible software wise. DON'T tell the vendors its coming... This is almost as smart as that time I went and installed FREEBSD on EVERYTHING!" KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterRadio Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 XP was not necessarily smooth as silk to start. It has evolved from NT to 2000 and XP. Early XP adopters, including myself, had their share of compatibilty problems. See the aforementioned, squeal of death.... Vendors had more than enough knowledge that Vista was coming. Unfortunately, with a large installed base of XP users from a business perspective it didn't make sense for most of them to offer Vista compatibility with regard to patches and drivers. Windows 7, by all accounts, will be a more polished higher performing version of Vista. Technology advances. I prefer the security and features that Vista offers over XP. Having said that I still use XP for legacy apps that aren't supported under XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutish Sailor Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yep. I agree with you on windows 7. Way to screw up a well oiled machine GATES! I hope he fired the guy that came up with Vista, and that bum is begging for quarters at the side of the street. JUST so I can throw my warm coffee at him. I wouldn't want to burn his face with coffee, because then the guy driving behind me wouldn't recognize him, and throw their coffee as well. Vista may be good for my 96 YO never-dying aunt, who needs big icons and rotating wheels of icons to navigate. HOWEVER, for the broadcasting community, this creative "sequel of death" is nothing compared to the loss of "what-U-hear/stereo-mix" . It screwed most of the winamp broadcasting community when they upgraded. KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterRadio Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 What you hear is available in Vista. I have found that Dell and many other manufacturers hobbled the drivers in some cases including XP. Here is a fix: http://www.driverheaven.net/audio-general-technical-discussion/130879-windows-vista-recoding-what-you-hear-how.html My Creative X-Fi doesn't require this workaround, however as support is built in.

Brutish Sailor Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 It will appear, however, GUI apps wont interface with it, meaning all those free mixers are worthless. KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
