Vista and Cubase

[Dr.Mavashi]

Well, thanks to guidance of VK and Whah Whah, this is a first post from my new beast - Lenovo desk top.
640 gigs of drive
4 gigs of ram
7200 rpm
Intel Dual Core 2.2 Ghrz.

So my question, anyone has experience running Cubase on Vista, the thing came with Vista, and I can install XP and forget about but then I would loose warranty .... so .... I am lazy.

Honestly, I'd just buy a new HD and install XP on it - put the old HD back in if you run into any issues and need warranty work done.

Well ... that aint in the budget now. What if I re-partition the drive for bare bones XP boot, so when I record I just boot the skeleton XP and go to work?

That works. Vista still has some driver issues with audio cards. For a DAW config XP is the only way to fly imo. Make the musicxp.net tweaks and you are golden

Recording on Vista Home is a no-no as the standard drivers record and output at a lower quality Deliberately in an effort to prevent copyright infringement. I'm not sure exactly how this will solve the global problem but the went ahead and did it anyway. Also, the standard printer drivers will print at a lower quality for the same reasons

huh? The driver the hardware makers provide will not degrade anything and the DAW makers certainly won't. The DAW makers would be screaming from hilltops

We are talking about DAW's here that are used by studios to record new music, not copy CD's.

That is exactly what I did, but dual boot. Extremely simple.
