Hey,

What's the scoop regarding Pyro 5 and 64-Bit Windows 7?

I just upgraded my DAW to X2 and new OS.

I've used Pyro 5 a lot in the past, but wonder if it will be compatible with my new system.

Are folks still using Pyro 5?  If not, what software are you guys using for this?

Check out Sony CD Architect. It is the best CD authoring software on the market for creating Red Book audio CDs... http://digifreq.com/?CDArchitect

Not sure if Pyro 5 will run under Win 7 64-bit.

CDA is my program of choice but there is a current thread by recent Pyro purchasers that run on win7 64bit here http://www.cakewalk.com/S...reader.aspx/2007013290

I had CDA and liked it very much. But when I moved to Win7 64bit, I could not get it to install and authorize, even though I tried every possibility multiple times for days, including researching similar problems on the internet. It's probably just something quirky about my system, I'm sure other people run CDA successfully on Win 7 64bit. I finally gave up and purchased Pyro Audio Creator 1.5, which is the current incarnation of Pyro. It installed and runs without issues. It's a 32bit application, as is CDA. While in some ways Pyro is not as convenient and focused on Redbook CDs as CDA is, it does the job, and has a lot of other functionality as well, such as file conversion, including mp3. I'm happy with it. It seems to always be on sale for $20 in the Cakewalk store, so it is a pretty good value IMHO.

That is unfortunate. I moved to Win7 64bit this year and was concerned about SF9 and CDA working. They installed and are working fine. I did offline registration, if that makes any difference.
