Some issues with MC, SHS 6 and Win 7 64-bit

SHS6 should be able to work in 32bit mode on a 64bit computer in any driver mode, but you have to make sure you have the 64bit drivers for your soundcard.  if it's not working, the only other think I can think of would be UAC.  I turned that crap off immediately.  it's not for intelligent users.  read into that what you will.

I seriously doubt MC Pro 24 will work at all, if it works in MME that may be all you get.  I've seen people trying to use MC2 & 3 on a 64bit system and they get the program to run but cannot get any recording or playback on it.

ozone is an excellent program!  just use it on tracks and master bus and just play with the gazillions of presets it has and hear the differences!

Yeah, I loaded it on the DAW last night and the difference is amazing.
While it won't make my singing any better, it sure brightens up the song.
 
And the exact message I get when trying to change driver modes is "There are no audio devices for the current driver model on your system. Please go to Options|Audio and choose a different driver model." Sorry for the incorrect words, Beag, it doesn't appear to be a UAC thing. It turned UAC off and got the same message, so it's the sound card, I think. RealTek. So last century.
I tried updating the RealTek drivers but it says I have the latest drivers.
Also used the Cakewalk Driver Mode Changer and that worked; it changed the driver but I still got the 'choose a different driver model' message.
I'm not going to worry about it until I need to, whent the old computer dies and I have to get another interface (keeping fingers crossed).

Nah. I was looking for an internet computer, but BB didn't have a single box with FireWire. So I got one of the cheapest ones they had.
My next DAW computer will be made as a DAW, either a build like you guys did or one of the ready-made machines.
Loving Ozone.
I might have to break out the plastic.

I installed the 64-bit version of SHS 6 and WDM does work in that program. But I get some of the problems that others have reported recently; audio meters don't work; soft synths sometimes don't work; jumpy graphics; all kinds of things which leads me to the inevitable: upgrade the program if I want to use this computer for a DAW. Which I don't unless something catastrophic occurs.
Funny though that I could remove SHS 64-bit from the computer, but I can't remove SHS 32-bit. Access Denied. With UAC on or off.
No worries, though. Just playing around.

Yes, it has the update. It wouldn't uninstall from either the Cakewalk uninstaller or the Windows Add/Remove programs thingy.
i'll just continue using it as a reference for helping others. And a FireWire card is a possibility, if necessary. I have the free slot.

Something weird happened to my SHS on Win 7 machine. When I installed it, I checked that all the soft synths and effects worked. TTS-1 worked from the Insert menu, just like the other DX and VST synths.
Now, it's not in the soft synth list; it's in the DX effects list, though.
Who moved my cheese TTS-1?

A little quirk that just developed on my DAW (XP 32-bit SP3).
Opened a project Saturday and all of the MIDI icons in the Track pane had changed to down arrow icons. The audio icons in the Track view were still there, but all the audio icons in the Bus pane had also changed to down arrows. ???
All of my recent projects were like that, but some from a few years ago had the normal icons.
I could change the icons back to the normal pics. Just wondering if only cranking up the DAW a couple times a week is somehow causing data to be lost, or if there might be some sort of memory problem.
Everything works, just this little glitch has me concerned about possible future problems.
My weekend starts tomorrow, so I'm going to back everything up to my external HD. I know, I should have already done that.
