So I found my good old Frontier Designs Alphatrack in a dusty old drawer after a clean up, and was wondering whether it is compatible with X3? Support for this product seems to have died off years ago, and the latest Windows driver from their site is dated 2009! I don't necessarily need it, and haven't used it in years, but it might be fun to breath some life back into the old girl if possible. I'm running X3e Producer on Win 8.1.
 
Any help most welcome.

I just set it up as per usual and it worked. I'm also on Win8.1 and Sonar X3e x64

Don't know about Windows 8, but I’ve been using  the Alphatrack with Sonar X3e in Windows 7 with no problems so far (I’ve only been on X3 a few weeks). I don’t go into much depth with Alphatrack; I’ve assigned a few shortcuts to it, and I use it for transport, and my footswitch is plugged into it for record.

I use one. Eq stuff has been wrong for a while.

No idea what it would take to get that stuff working with the pro channel eq. That would be awesome!

Yes it does with Windows 8.1 (x64) with Sonar X3.
But it is tricky to install.
I remember something like this:
Run the Installation.
After that it says it cannot run on this windows-Version.
Then go to the created installation-folder and right-click the *.inf-file - and say "install".
Something like this.

Thanks everyone for your replies. OK, I'll hook her up and see how we go.
 
Re Pro Channel, I agree it would be cool if we could get that working. I may have some time tonight to have a play. I'll report back if I find anything useful/helpful.
 
Cheers.
