Everyone is very strange to it, but curious, but also do not know how to use it.I have done some composing work before. At that time, few people in China would use such software. I have been favoring it since the age of cakewalk 3.0. Every time to upgrade, I am grateful for it. What I want to say is that I have been using cakewalk's software for more than 20 years, even longer. Of course I find out from family while I'm at work and they desperately need to print something for school ?

Last update screwed my network printer and I had to and reinstall drivers. This was not a problem in previous versions of Windows and is quite a significant down-side to being on Windows 10. The October update just used up the last license renewal for Addictive Drums and I now need to raise a support call to get it working again. However, with Windows 10, major changes that used to be saved for version upgrades can be installed at any time, effectively breaking your DAW.
With previous versions of Windows, you knew that if you upgraded, you were in for changes that you could prepare for in advance.

The latest update, 1809 also broke my audio interface driver installation, requiring a full driver re-install. Waves plugins and Addictive Drums being the first two to come to mind.

The only real issue, and it is an issue, that I have with Windows 10 is that each major anniversary update breaks the licensing on a number of components on my DAW. So yes, my next computer will be upgraded, but not with Windows 10. But as is typical, as the company got bigger things changed and not necessarily for the better. I should also note that when Windows first appeared, I was a very big proponent of the software and the company. I have switched over to Linux for just about everything else. In fact, the primary reason this computer still has Windows is due to Sonar/Cakewalk. The amount of 'telemetry' being sent back to the mother ship and the forced updates are my primary factors to moving away from Windows.
Microsoft (and many others) clearly believe that once you put their software on it, your computer and what you do with it belongs to them. For me, it comes down to who does the computer belong to - me, or the company that makes the software the computer runs on. Windows 8.1 will most likely be my last version of Windows that I run. Hardware fails and it's replacement isn't compatible. Your likelihood of things getting corrupted increases. You become ever more susceptible to attacks as vulnerabilities multiply and become easier and easier to exploit. The thing about falling behind is that the further you fall behind, the further you fall behind. Scads of people use it regularly and have no problems. W10 is not "an atrocious piece of garbage. Either because you choose to or because you are forced to. Eventually your beloved antique computer with it's beloved antique OS is going to die. But I really don't understand the bullheaded resistance to upgrading after four years.īut W7 is going away. I get that those who live on the cutting edge often end up bleeding to death. I get "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I get not always having to jump on the latest update the minute it drops. I really don't understand the bullheaded resistance to Windows 10. At some point, app developers will discontinue support for unsupported OS. But as mentioned earlier, the older apps should be fine on a modern 64-bit OS, at least for now. and intend to maintain a "legacy" computing environment. Moving to a supported OS would be recommended at that point, unless you plan to be completely self supported. On the Windows 7 topic, I can understand the desire to retain older apps that still work, but Windows 7 will lose support next year. Then gradually migrate your workflow to the newer 64-bit apps when you are ready.

Many 32-bit DAW applications and plugins will still run fine on 64-bit Windows, so you can install your trusted apps side by side with the new versions and still continue to use the 32-bit DAW apps that you are comfortable with. You could acquire a 64-bit computer to try out newer software on. It seems that many developers have decided to focus their development resources on the 64-bit model. I don't see many new versions of applications being released in 32-bit these days.
