Downgrading To XP...
I’m a huge audio geek, but just prior to the house move last June, I upgraded to Vista. I’ve been very happy with Vista - it’s worked well.
But with one exception.
I can’t get any of my audio gear to run with it.
This hasn’t been a problem up until now, as I’ve been way busy with other stuff. I’ve been letting my podcasts lapse and just noodling around with my guitar and other audio gear offline, not recording anything. But now, my esteemed amigo and I plan on collaborating long distance on some song writing.
This means I need to get it all running again.
The hub is the EMU 1820 which I use to get all audio into and out of the PC. First of all there weren’t any drivers, but now the drivers exist but bluescreen my Vista box during install. I’ve never managed to get drivers installed for the UAD-1 either. I haven’t even tried to get Cubase running.
Which leaves me with a conundrum.
Do I just downgrade to XP? I know it will all work, but I do love the UI in Vista. Do I actually use Vista though? Nope. Just a few games, Skype and Firefox. For everything else I use my MacBook Pro and my Linux box.
Downgrade I go… See you on the other side…
