Yeah, I got lucky there. The plugins that I use don't have any problems working with Win7. In fact, because the new laptop is a 7200rpm drive and 4 gigs of ram, most are working much better. No clicks, no pops, no freezing.Ive got a win7 64 bit test rig here.
Lots of companies and plugs havent made the move yet, but for the stuff that has its been good. The reaper bitbridge is working pretty well, but some plugs dont like it
Yeah, mine is a 64 bit version too...Using the latest 64bit version, no hiccups! Works great.
I upgraded yesterday to version 3.4 /x64. Man, is it ever running smooth. It may be just me, but I noticed a real bump in the clarity of my mixes. Of course, since I am away from my monitors, I am on Sennheiser headphones too, which may account for that. But I am really happy with it so far.Bump v2 - so, I'm on a Win7 machine now, and while I haven't done much with it thus far everything seems to be going smoothly.
I'm running 32 bit, though. Assuming the change to 64 won't be an issue (I have a computer savvy friend who's down to do it for however much beer we can drink in the time it takes to back up all my shit, update to 64 bit, and then dump it all back on), what's the performance difference between 32 and 64 like for Reaper?
One more thing, if you are going to render to mp3, you'll need to update the lame dll to the 64 bit version too. It's pretty easy to do, if you chose mp3 on the render tab, it'll give you a pop up with a link to the new dll.
