Hey guys i've just got myself windows 7 64bit, which doesnt like my Pandora PX5d- so i decided to get myself a sound card and use the pandora just for practise instead of as a usb audio interface.
So is there anyone out there using windows 7 for recording? If so what card are you using (im looking for a pci card as opposed to usb) i was thinking about the emu 0404. The microsoft website says that it is compatible for windows 7 64bit but i cant find andy details on the emu website that supports that claim http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibi...s&os=32-bit Cheers! |

I'd suggest that you don't move to Win7 fully just yet - dual boot for the Pandora.
It may take a while - at least SP1 of Win 7 - before it is proven to be stable for audio and before most manufacturers have dlls etc out for it. At the mo there are a number of issues reported for Win 7 re audio/sequencers etc. Given that it's only just released these are generally only really just surfacing. This isn't to say that 7 isn't better than Vista generally - I'm sure it is (not hard really) but there is a lag in the system and so wait a bit. Also I don't really see the 0404 as being a step forward for you. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

My advice is to stay 32bit for now. You will have much less problems, both hardware and (specially) software.

I've had Win7 running on dualboot since i got invited to the betatest-program, and i think it's allaround the best Windows yet.
But still, i rarely use it since i had so much problems getting my soundcard (EMU Tracker Pre) and different VST/VSTi's to work properly in a DAW. So, i'm with Ivan on this one. Stick with XP 32bit for the time being.
