(Be careful not to press [Shift]+ Lower Display Button where you ...

All Bootcamp does is make the nice new EFI firmware look like the crappy ancient BIOS firmware so Windows can boot. After it's booted there's no interaction.
Watch what you say about my BIOS!!!

The M-Audio Projectmix IO has touch sensitive motorized faders. It's a a good piece of kit with lots of capability and excellent audio IO. Not in the same league as a Mackie but cheaper.

Many here have had poor experiences with the ProjectMix and M-Audio. So take that under advisement. I've had ...

I've been unable to get the M-Audio ProjectMix I/O to work under Vista RTM (build 6000).

I tried installing the current M-Audio FireWire Family drivers (5.10.00.5036 and 5.10.00.5036v2) in XP compatibility mode and that allows them to install, but computer doesn't seem to be able to detect the ...

but as long as hardware vendors update their drivers there shouldn't be any issues with most hardware.

This is probably the thorniest issue for Live users. So far I've found some XP sound drivers work in Vista, but many do not. Often the problems seem to be just with the installers. Vista ...

I've been using Vista with Live 5.2 and now 6.01 for a few months. Most recently with the final RTM version. Works fine. One thing is Live kills Vista's Aero Glass features (transparent windows, 3D task switch, live thumbnails, etc). Not a big deal as it comes back when you quit the program.

Edirol PCR-1 XP driver 1.01 works in Vista RTM build 6000. Performance of the ASIO driver is pretty bad on my 2GHz Core Duo Acer laptop. But it does work as does DX/WDM and MIDI. DX/WDM performance is similarly poor.

The XP 1.01 driver was from the Edirol.com site.
The XP driver labeled 2.00 on the ...

Maybe I should have mentioned that I'm running a mac coz I don't think I have any dlls here. (I think that dlls are a Windows thing, right?)

As long as you are not running on an Intel Mac. Reaktor doesn't yet support Intel Macs. All plugins on the Mac MUST run in the same binary mode as the host ...
