Good "Smart" advice, Bryan. No better way to screw up your DAW than to update and install in a hurry. BTW *always* do a restore point before an install/upgrade, and even better, an image if you have the means to do so.

You can run it, but expect some surprise, somewhere. We'll announce official support after further testing and potentially a maintenance release of CakeTalking. If you're using Sonar/CT on your every day computer, then you could install Jaws 12, leaving Jaws 11 installed, and run Jaws 11 when you plan to use Sonar. On a DAW, though, try not to be in a hurry to always run the latest version of every piece of software that is available. It is more important to your productivity to run versions that are known to be strongly compatible, than it is to run the latest version of everything. In some cases, the older drivers for gear might be better than the new drivers. Not every Windows update is best for maintaining good performance on a DAW. If history is any teacher, Freedom Scientific will be offering a maintenance release of Jaws 12 in just a few weeks.

I was wondering what the status is concerning CakeTalking functioning okay in this version. I know that there was some brief discussion on it a while back, but I may have missed something since. I'll be running it on an XP machine; so what's the scoop? I'm not going to install version 12 until I know that CakeTalking will be all right with it. Cheers!
