Project5 on Windows 7?
I just ordered Project5 Version 2, before I realized that I will soon be migrating from XP to Windows 7. Does anyone know if the program will run on Windows 7, or if Cakewalk is planning an update/upgrade to make it do so? Thanks, m

I think it was Stuart who installed it on 7 and it worked okay.

I would think it would be more a matter of finding Win7/Vista drivers for your external soundcard than any problem with running the P5 app itself If you have drivers compatible with your OS, I suspect you'll be fine and if you just use the soundcard that came with your system you'll be fine I hope you got a good price because it is a discontinued product.

Yes, it works. I haven't used it in a while, but I've opened it and used it just fine in Windows 7.

A while back (I think it was in RC days) I have installed v2.0 and then updated to 2.5, then to 2.5.1 just to verify it was working. I don't hink I tried it on RTM build, but I would expect it to work. I was installing on x64 Win 7, and had to run setup for v 2.0 directly from the DVD (the autorun bootstrapper would not work). I also installed the standard set of plugins. The updates installed fine and the application was fully functional and I did not see any (new) issues. Good luck.

Well, Cakewalk might have given up on P5, but MS is alive and kicking. Must be some interesting support they got. Thanks, Jessica - glad you are on the job. @

I have it working on the enterprise edition 32bit trial version.

Give MS credit where it's due, they have generally been scrupulous to the point of anality in ensuring that all the old crappy applications that have been around since dos will still run under each new Windows OS release. Unlike that other OS that P5 doesn't run on anyway

Yeah it was me that confirmed that P5 works in Windows 7, the only problem Ive had in W7 was a problem with the drivers for the firewire, where I had to change the drivers to the legacy ones available so that I could get my Steinberg MR816x working, other than that everything seemed to run better than it did in Vista.

Stuart, how do you like the MR816? I got a TC K48, which sounds nice. I'd like less latency. Still, w/ the recent price drop I could have had the Steinberg, tho at this point I'm not going to eat the price of the hardware. Call it a purient interest and a case of the morning after.

Personally I think its an excellent interface to work with. It has some advantages if you use it in Cubase of course. That being said, its got good clean preamps, good control on it, enough ins and outs to keep me from having to switch all the time. Its got a lot of what I need. I would probably have gone for the VS100 though but I spent my cash a month too early.

Yea, the VS-100 is pretty nice (I've got one for testing). I went ahead and jumped on a discounted TC K48 while I waited. No complaints about it. Then the VS comes, then they drop the price on the MR816. But if you never buy anything, they can't make a better deal. later, @

It works, but not great. I've had audio driver problems with Project5 and Vista/7. No problems in other programs such as Samplitude and Live demo. I have an Echo card.

Its working fine. In fact it was easier to get it working in Windows 7 then Sonar, it took me a bit to get the audio to work in Sonar. I am using Sonar 7. There are of course concerns outside of P5. Will the Midi drivers work? What about the sound card? For me all of it worked. I did not do a clean install I upgraded. All of the midi drivers are working great. Only thing I ran into is my vsti drivers all need to be reregistered like True Pianos, Rapture and Dimension pro did not require this, Jamsticks did. Zebra transfered fine. Notice when using reqwire with Sonar from P5 that it does not work outside of Sonar, you cant control the rewind etc within P5, you have to do that in sonar.
