Hi. I have been using Nuendo 3 on XP happily for years. However, each time a PC craps out it's getting harder to find a refurb powerful enough to run XP. Eventually I'll have trouble finding an audio interface that will run on XP, though it's fine with my present Steinberg Yamaha UR22. Going forward I can't keep using XP. I just bought a Windows 7 PC (64b,4GBRAM,nVIDI card). I know Nuendo 3 won't install on it. Any ideas for a cheap robust DAW to run on W7? I tried downloading Pro Tools First, but the AVID site seemed to have only newer versions that won't run on W7. A starter Cubase might be good as I might be able to port my old .npr files to it. I downloaded Audacity which was quick. Works OK but is anyone doing serious multitracking with this? The plugins are bare and no pretty meters. Please let me know ideas for a DAW. Also, equally important is that the download installation not be a maze. I don't mind spending a little - $100 would be more in my budget than hundreds. I would love to get a CD to install the oldest version of Nuendo that will go on W7. I guess it would have to be a cracked copy though as I imagine even that version would need a USB key. Finally a platform from a company that has some real support, so I don't get sent in circles, would be nice, if there is still such an animal.
