Hi Everyone.
Back in the stone age I bought a tascam 144 interface which came with Cubase LE4. I have used this over the years and with the addition of ez drummer and a couple of soft synths the set up has worked fine for me until the beginning of the year when my old Compaq laptop has decided it has not much more to offer. My step son gave me his computer tower last week, all wiped clean and with really good high spec hardware and memory. It uses Windows 8.1. I have moved my files and recordings over to this computer and after a bit of a struggle managed to load in the software for the Tascam and the Cubase LE4 however I am experiencing quite a few problems when playing back my music e.g. jumping and stalling, loading incorrectly sound issues etc.. I tried to find if there was any upgrades for the set up but I fear they may be too old now and may be un-usable with Windows above XP which was my laptop platform.
Has anyone else experienced these kind of problems trying to up grade? If anyone has any advice it will be most gratefully received.
PS The reason for changing from my old laptop is that it has started crashing a lot in the middle of stuff and is struggling to cope with more than a couple of vsti's at the same time. the processor is old and limited.
Thanks in advance,
Phil.
