Title: VISTA for the DAW
Post by: Moon on May 04, 2008, 03:37:18 PM
There's no escaping: sooner or later we'll have to use Vista... Well, we all know that Vista is a performance killer and therefor totally unfit for a DAW installation. But, there might be a solution with this : http://www.vlite.net/about.html

If anyone should have experience stripping Vista down for DAW-usage, please let us know.

I can't possibly imagine what that might be ;D

It seems I'm using windoze less and less each day. There are Linux tools "hiding" all over the web that will do even the ordinary internet chores that I have been using XP for; only a matter of time and learning. Vizta will not fly here ;)!

Oh yes there is life without Vista. Oren has already proven that..    :)

I have planned very carefully, so that I will not have to feel at the mercy of Vista.

New computer..not the fastest, but plenty fast for my OS..which is XP sp2, (and I have it on CD). I don't
need an upgrade for my DAW anymore, it still knows more than I do..

..and if the day ever comes when this is not enough?? ..Well, I will just drop my amp off  up the street at
Max's Garage and see if they still have Thursday nights open.    8)

From what I have heard from Oren lately,  well..it just doesn't get better than that.

.. listen to those beauties and you will realize that the next best step is Linux.

Wyatt

PS..thank you ever so much for the opportunity to rag about Vista!   ;D

There was life before Vista, there is life during (in spite of Vista) & there will be life long after Vista is a fairy tale to scare the grandkids with ;D

I consider Vista a passing OS like Windows Me, infact it seems at MS they're already working on the following system.

Vista is not worth looking into. XP service pack3 is out and most people I've talked with claim a substantial performance increase with it. I haven't installed it yet myself. So we'll see.

Service Pack 3 is working on one of my XPpro computers; very smooth transition, but with no apparent improvement in performance.

Good to know, so I don't need to hurry  ;)
