I'm now setting at that figurative brick wall again with respects to my DAW. So yeah, sometimes the OS in the new machines will not run the old software.
Cubase 7 vs sonar x3 update#
I had the unfortunate experience of having an older version of Cakewalk Pro 8 Deluxe and my sound card driver stop working when I needed to update my computer due to a business software update and subsequent requirement to upgrade the OS to run the biz software. It's not worth the hassle to mess around with compatibility issues when you can buy compatibility right off the shelf. BUT, if I didn't have X1e and needed to buy it, I would opt to buy the newer offerings from Cakewalk that would positively be compatible with the newer OS W-10 even if it was a bit more pricey. If I had a W-10 machine, I would of course try running it. In addition, you can't call CW tech support because they will tell you they don't support it on that OS.
if it doesn't work, you just wasted the entire amount and the time you spent. If it works, you're in fine shape and saved money. It might work and then again it might not. If the software doesn't specifically list W-10 in it's specs, it's a coin-toss.
I understand the lure of really nice low prices. You gotta be careful when you're updating the OS to the latest and greatest and hoping older software will run on it.
