Boss BR-800 and Sonar 8.5 LE
Hello all, I am in a bit of a pickle. I sat down with four new tracks ready for me to lay some bass lines down but encountered a problem. My PC recently updated to Windows 10 and now my BR-800 isn't recognised as a mackie control in Sonar LE. Do I now have a £300 digital recorder that I cannot use with Windows 10? I'm guessing that it won't be updated with a new driver for quite a long time. Any ideas?

Hi, Have you tried win8 drivers in compatibility mode? It might help. Best of luck.

I didn't know about that mode. I tried it but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion though, it was a good shout.

Try the Win7 drivers in compatibility mode?

I actually didn't try that but unfortunately the same thing happens. At the moment the only thing I can think of that will work is downgrading back to 8.1.

Yeah I've been all over that page. I have had it installed as it was carried over during the upgrading process, but it wasn't recognised inside of Sonar. So even if I managed to get it installed again I doubt it would work. I heard back from Boss today who said: "The Windows 10 drivers for the BR-800 are currently being reviewed by Microsoft as we speak. A release is due any day now but please keep an eye out on the official downloads page below where the driver will first be released" Hopefully that will be the case because I badly need to start on things.

The Win10 drivers will hopefully take care of your problems. Let us know how it goes  Best of luck.
