In a recent post, I said I just change my audio interface for a Liquid Saffire 56 and an Octopre and was testing recording at more than 44.1khz.
I had 4 m-audio delta cards and it took me 2 weeks to tweak audio recording and ended up not using asio drivers because it was unstable.

i'm going for a laptop to run the new Harrison Mixbus DAW ... i have singled out a few machines ... i'm looking for advice as to which OS, Windows XP Pro, 7 or 8?

I am pretty well versed in hardware of computers, software not sooo much. What is better for recording 32 bit or 64 bit, I just built a comp and I need to get windows. Just wondering what would be best.

Any VST's for Windows that align vocals/tracks?

Wondering if there is any word on windows 8 upgrade for R16 or if anyone is using it with windows 8?

I bought and downloaded the upgrade to Windows 8 but have yet to install it. I have it on my laptop and so far so good. Even without a touch monitor. I'm a little leery of installing it on my DAW though. Anyone taken the plunge yet?

I am having problems getting the dreaded Windows 8 to recognise my Scarlett 2i2. All the software and up to date drivers all load in successfully, I've tried all the 2 USB ports supplied in my ASUS 501 x laptop.
ive tried disabling Realtek sound that comes with Windows 8.
Should I remove Realtek ?

Windows 7 64-bit
Intel core2quad@2.4ghz
4gb ram
Cakewalk Sonar x1 (32bit install)
Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, USB 2.0

Doing some searching, I'm finding very positive responses from people using Win 8 with Sonar and a few other DAW's. It looks like its going to be a really solid version, but, is it more for the mobile world, and to compete with Apple's ipad's etc, don't know, but its faster and more streamlined than Win 7 which means, we should be able to optimize it as slick as Windows 7 if not more.

I am trying to install the latest driver pack that Tascam has for the US-1641 on a 64-bit windows 7 OS, but every time I try to install it the computer restarts in the middle of the process. It then boots up and asks if I want to boot in safe mode, so I have a feeling it is something in the system. I have checked for updates to the OS, but it keeps saying it is up to date.
