My recently bought pc came with vista. I was told in the shop that I would invalidate the guarantee on the machine if I downgraded to xp!
So reluctantly I have began using vista.
I have installed sonar 7, reason 4, fl studio 8, komplete 5 and others. On my previous system running xp on a laptop I could run several of these programs at the same time. If I do this in vista it tells me that the audio drivers and midi are not available - only available on the first program opened.
Sonar goes wierd when I add akoustik piano as a
vst. Some days I can run the stand alone version of akoustik piano at the same time as B4II or Kore 2 or any other komplete product. But on other days it refuses. On other days I have to re-start the pc as there is no sound at all coming out. Things were a bit better before installing sp1 but now I never know how the system is going to behave when I switch on!
Needless to say I am less than happy with the way it works!!
