Unfortunately my long and weary wait for MLAN to work with my Vista 64bit DAW has dragged on too long.....

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
indeed. Sometimes living on the bleeding edge has it’s advantages. Such as, you get to experience the pain first, help OEM debug code errors and are first to be frustrated by an industry that evolves faster with each passing year.

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
Frankly, there is no real rush to go 64-bit, the majority of computer users and (by far) the majority of musicians are not ready for full 64-bit audio path… so if you were born to soon, sorry. They will probably cure old age just when you are too old to benefit ... that’s how it goes

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
Thanks for your reply; lol, perhaps I over-exaggerated slightly on the old folks home thing :-) I am still relatively young and my son is only 2, so I’ve got a few years left before he ships me into that home and claims my estate...lol.

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
I’m glad you can laugh about all this… some get seriously miffed when they realize that the music production stuff doesn’t keep strict pace with computer developments.

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
Lol… of course, you’ve made very valid points. I do understand the overhead on Hardware manufacturers like Yamaha who are constantly chasing OS upgrades and feature packs in order to keep their angry PC/Mac mob at bay.

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
“future proofed” !?!? - don’t you belieive it. It is a multi-headed dragon, this technology chase. While you may be safe by having a computer that can run both 32-bit and 64-bit (but only short term), something else will come along that will change and force you to buy new computer hardware… that is what happens. And it seems like it will always happen.

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
I have been using XP 64 bit for about 2 years. I’m using the 01X that has 64 bit XP drivers. My Motif ES Mlan works fantastic with this system as well. When I got my XS8 few weeks ago, I had to give up on connected it to my MLAN system.

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
Newer mLan devices ARE compatible with classical mLan drivers. I run my XS8 with a 01X, i88x and mLan drivers 1.6.3

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
On XP 64 bit you have to use 1.55 as 1.63 is not compatible with 64 bit and it won’t work with newer devices.

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!! Bad_Mister, I completely disagree with you on this. Out of all the industries that will benefit the most from 64 bit it’s definitely the studio musicians. RAM is so cheap these days and RAM availability is so important when working in the box with sample libraries and the likes. I’m sad to hear that yamaha has no plans to support 64 bit. I would go 64 bit in a second if my n12 & XS could support it. Well since it doesn’t sound like this is in the works does that mean if I ever want to go 64 bit on my DAW I’m going to need to ditch my N12 & XS??? |

Re: Vista 64bit AI Driver!!!!
Well, I disagree with you, that you disagree with me… as I never said that musicians would not “benefit the most from 64-bit” technology… My point is that music production/musicians do not lead the way in these type of advances… quite the contrary… it is other computer activities that drive the advances (like gaming, and business for example). Heck, the GAME boxes were 128-bit years ago… All you have to do is go to a Consumer Electronic Show, which is about 100 times the size of the largest music industry trade show.
