It just locks it up and you have to kill it. The only thing is don't unplug it in Vista while Band in a Box is running. Once into the Toneport your set ch 4/5 to handle it and get access to the presets, the global presets, compressions etc. If I jump now, I think I can find sell my old gear for enough to buy entry level class compliant at near- break even price If I wait too long, there will be no resale market for the old stuff, and I'll have to spend new dollars for new equipment. the question boils down to when, not if, I will start pouring resources into 64 bit stuff. There is no disastrous workflow problem if I bog down in the changeover. or would it be better to sell my old devices on Craig's list while lots of people are still using XP and Vista, and replace them with new class-compliant input devices?Īt present I'm thinking "sell and buy firewire for audio and a midisport 2x2 anniversary edition for MIDI" Music is my hobby, not my business. Now I'm trying to decide whether to use it basically for email and web browsing (overkill) and use the old 32 bit dual core/vista32 computer for music production.(for which I can still get drivers) I got a win7 64 bit OS computer for Christmas from my son. Yeah, I have a Tascam US-428, a Roland GI-20 and a MIDISPORT 4x4.

Makes me glad that I bought my PCs when Vista was available. For this version it was almost like you were not given the option any longer.
