XP-64 and CD/Mastering software
I've been looking at WaveLabs 6 Studio and CD Architect 5, but I can't
find any info on their compatibility with XP-64. I talked to a Steinberg rep, who basically said that I could try to use it, but that they wouldn't help with any support (and he wasn't nice about it either). Does anyone know if the plug-ins will function correctly? Sony was closed today for a company holiday, so I wasn't able to speak to them. If anyone has had any luck with xp64 and any software programs, I would love to hear about it. Thank you all, Shaun |

XP-64 and CD/Mastering software
I was running an XP64 DAW for a while and basically found that everything
ran just fine. I was able to run both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Sonar with no problems at all along with with the 32 version of Audition. If WaveLab or CD Architect are offered as native 64-bit executables, bear in mind that 32-bit VST and DX effects wont work (Sonar gets around this with "bit-bridge" for 32-bit VSTs in a 64-bit host). But 32-bit apps are fine, as they run in a 32-bit virtual machine that is 100% emulated in hardware on all AMD and Intel chips (other than Itaniums). In my experience, it's actually often easier getting legacy apps running in XP64 than Vista64, as the former doesn't have UAC to muddy the waters. But because XP64 is effectively end of life, none of the developers test on that platform, hence the "no support" statement. That said, XP64 uses the same code-base as Windows Server 2003, which is still a supported MS product. Bill. "Agua" wrote in message ...
