8.5 is definitely better for audio people than
8.3. Besides the additional 64-bit combination
effects that come with Sonar 8.5, AudioSnap is
far more stable than it used to be.
The key to having a good experience with
CakeTalking is to be sure to use only the
software version combinations that have been
tested. Due to slight differences with how
different versions of Jaws behave, and, in some
cases, bugs that CakeTalking must work around,
CakeTalking is highly sensitive to changes in
the Jaws version, in particular. I'm not saying
that it isn't possible to use CakeTalking 8.5
with Jaws 10 on Windows 7, but, if you do, you
may find gotchas where CakeTalking is sluggish,
where certain commands are slow or don't work at
all, or where incorrect information is reported.
For CakeTalking 8.3 and 8.5 users, Jaws 11 is
suggested on all versions of Windows. Again, you
could use Jaws versions as old as 10 on Windows
7, Jaws 8 on Vista, and Jaws 7.1 on XP, but you
really should use 11. Jaws 11 has been
extensively tested with CT, and is known to work
well (that is, we account for all of the qwerks in Jaws 11 :)).
