Anybody using Machfive2 with Sonar 7

Post by beejeh »

Just wondered if anybody else is using Machfive2 with Sonar 7.

Do you have any problems with it ?

Please say if you are using XP or Vista, 32 bit or 64 bit.

I'm trying to establish if problems I'm having are unique to me or widespread.

Thanks

MOTU`s application data is the real problem they should have spent more time on it before selling this product to see my problem check out the thread by jamester called graphics problem, we have almost the same system.

New system more stable

Post by beejeh »

Since I migrated from XP to Vista 64, and upgraded my hardware to the current system, I have found Machfive2 much more stable.

Main disppointment is that it can not run as a 64 bit application

i`ll wait till more stuff is compatible with 64bit ,as for vista not on your nelly i`ll stick with XP HOME, I`m sure they`ll get to the task of making things compatible with 64 bit but when we don`t know ,you obviously don`t use any Direct X plug-ins since they aren`t supported by 64bit

Sonar includes some 64 bit DXIs.

I have to run Machfive2 and a couple of other apps using Sonar's 64-32 bit VST bridge.

I was a staunch XP user but overall I definately get better reliability under Vista 64 for my setup, personally I don't think Vista deserves a lot of it's criticism - except the cost !

I find things much better using Sonar 8.5.3 and Windows 7,once you get past problems with the iLok drivers and IE8 that is.
