Yes, it sounds as though i need to have sonar 8.5 or maybe more, I'm not sure 
alongwith caketalking 8.8 before it will run on a windows 7 machine.

  Isn't CT8.8 for Sonar 8.5? If you have Sonar 8.0 I think you need a lower 
version. You'll have to check with Bill to be sure.

  Thanks for the tip, but sounds like am going to have to upgrade anyway in 
order to use with caketalking 8.8 since will need that for windows 7 I gather. 

  I have 8.0 and had done the tricks to upgrade to 8.5 on my old xp machine, 
but since it bit the dust, would have to do that step or steps all over again. 
being an far from preficient computer user was hoping to avoid doing lots of 
extra steps in order to get sonar to work with most recent caketalking. just 
never ends, hahahah.

    Hi, Sonar 8is 64bit compatible, you can select to install 32bit or 64bit 
when installing. Note that direct x for the most part is useless on 64bit 
sonar, so if you plan to use allot of those, you might want to stick to 32bit 
sonar on windows 64.

     

    HTH, D!J!X!

    Howdy Friends, After my xp bit the dust and not worth fixing,  couple 
e-mails from Bill, and see now that I'm going to need to upgrade my caketalking 
version to 8.8 in order to run on windows 7 which is ok, but pretty sure my win 
7 machine is a 64 bit computer so thinking that I may need to buy a new copy of 
sonar as well, since believe first version in 2009 that i have is a 32 bit.

        Does anyone know if the version i can currently buy from dancing dots 
is most current with caketalking 8.8, as hoping to avoid some of the updating 
and stuff needed to do previously in order to bring sonar 8.0 up to 8.53? 
Hoping there is a sonar 8.53 64 bit so I will be set.

    As it is, one crash of my xp machine is going to be possibly expensive and 
a major hastle configuring caketalking so hoping to find the path of least 
resistance. at least I already had the win 7 machine or would have just tried 
to get a "like new" win xp computer. the old caketalking 8.0 worked plenty good 
for me and was just perfect til the crash, so hoping to get back to that and 
after only a few days, really missing my recording setup.

    obviously, at this point will do whatever is required, but looking for 
least expensive and least hastle as i can since not a computer literate 
person....

       In closing, cant thank those on this list enough for all your help, 
including Bill and DJX. Hoping to purchase whatever updates necessary today but 
webpage a little confusing and will probably call office first.

    As it is, turns out caketalking 8.8 is able to work with jaws 15 and not 
even on their web page, so not taking any chances of buying anything else til I 
am sure it will work together. at least believe my focusrite scarlet 2 should 
work on windows 7. Sincerely, Dave
