Is 7.1 ready for prime time
I'm kind of anxious to move up to 7.1. from 7.0.2.
There's some nice new features.
Is everyone fairly happy?

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
After installing the new PCI 424 audiodriver from http://www.motu.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (2/2-2010) everything is finally working great for me in DP7.1. 
If you find it unstable you can always go back to 7.02 even with projects saved in 7.1, so you got nothing to lose really
Rock on!

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
It's working well for me. However, what you will learn once this thread is more than a day old is that everyone is NEVER fairly happy. It will always depend on who you're asking.scooter wrote:I'm kind of anxious to move up to 7.1. from 7.0.2.

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
7.1 is very good for me. Once the overviews have finished rebuilding on old projects they open very quickly (on subsequent opening). Fx presets are fantastic.

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
I didn't realize that 7.1 is out already.
Well it sounds like good news so far!

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
Hey word up to iPhone users. This forum is now easy to read and post to from your phone. Go to app store and search for Tapatalk. There's a free "RO" (read only) version and a $2.99 version that allows you to post, etc. which I am using now. Check it out. You can find this board in the New category and also under Browse > Music.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:7.1 appears to be great HOWEVER apparently no eveyone's systems are in great shape.

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
My iPhone popped up a message when I accessed the forum. Easy enough to access it from the iPhone Safari app but good to know it's there. Very glad to see MOTUNation included in the app list!

Was it an error? I'm accessing all the posts flawlessley with the Tapatalk app. What's great is it strips out unnecessary graphics and optimizes things for iPhone. It's faster than under iPhone Safari.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:My iPhone popped up a message when I accessed the forum. Easy enough to access it from the iPhone Safari app but good to know it's there.

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
Not an error. When I accessed the forum in Safari, iTunes let me know the app was available and MOTUNation was compatible. Pretty cool. But I don't know if I could read the forum unless I see the avatars...

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
The AVATARS ARE THERE!! Seriously, download the FREE version of Tapatalk which is Tapatalk RO and TRY IT!! You can see avatars and even graphics in the posts. The graphics appears as thumbnails and you can tap them then enlarge them like any other iPhone graphic. It's really VERY COOL!!666 wrote:Ya gotta have the avatars!MIDI Life Crisis wrote:But I don't know if I could read the forum unless I see the avatars...

Re: Is 7.1 ready for prime time
So it seems like you gotta have the new audio driver, which sounds great to me that there is a new one, and old projects need to rebuild whatever, and then 7.1 is solid and rocks and if it doesn't 7.02 still is solid even with the new driver? Radiogal? Huh.

Hey 666,
Speaking of avatars, what is that exactly??
I'm just curious.
