Sonar 7 Producer and Windows 7

Does anyone know if Sonar 7 Producer is compatible with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit?

    It should work, but before you upgrade, download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from the Microsoft site. That will tell you if your software and hardware is compatible. Sonar will most likely work, but if there isn't a Windows 7 64-bit driver for your soundcard, you'll be out of the water.

    Hi:
    I've been running Sonar 7PE on Vista 64 for two years with ok results.
     
    I just bought a new Windows 7 laptop (I7 processor and 6G Ram) and
    just installed Sonar 7 to record a vocalist 'live'.
     
    It seems to be working ok... Audio works fine; Midi was a little hard to get
    working until I logged in as Administrator. Then midi worked fine.
    I'm not using a lot of tracks (4 or 5 audio) and a few midi tracks but it
    seems to be working fine.
    I'm using the Cakewalk USB 25EX soundcard

    In SONAR 7 there are a few incompatibility issues which you may or may not run into. The most notable is an incompatibility with Bundle files for projects that contain mixed data types (stereo/mono, 16/32/64 bit audio). If you open any such bundle the audio data will be scrambled on load. Other than that there were a few incompatibilities with the browser (explorer view) but nothing very serious. All these were addressed in SONAR 8.5 which is the most current release.

    To get round the Administrator issue with any program simply right-click on the apps icon and select Properties, then set it to Run As Administrator and Save. You won't have the problem after that.

    +1. Don't get fooled into thinking that since you are logged on as the Administrator you can do anything. Some things still require you to Run As Administrator. Once you're registered to Sonar, you no longer have to do that.

    Seems to work ok on my new system (HP XEON 400/windows 7 pro 64). I've had it up and running for a few days.Took some tweaking.......had DVD playback issues (of all things). Sonar ran perfectly though.

    I'm quite new here, but I don't see a YEAR shown on any of the posts, just a month and day. How do we see the year of a post?

    that kind of thing? (from back up this thread) it looks like there's some arbitrary period where the date is jazzed up, before just being displayed as d-m-y

    EDIT: OK I see I was just misreading the way the dates are displayed. The year is in 2 digit format. Thanks for your help

    it's missing a comma, but it's there:
