My priorities have been changing over time. About a decade ago computer based music production had a higher priority than it has now. Now computers, storage, music distribution & networking have become a higher priority.

Off topic: The cakewalk article specifically states that the test results are an indication at best, and that real world experience with more test systems is needed when Windows 8 is widely available to confirm or invalidate the results.

Please stop the posts "I'm still using XP, why upgrade". I'm happy for you if you're happy with Windows XP, make your own thread for that. Please focus on the problem, lack of Windows 8 support, which seems to be caused by unsigned drivers. A workaround for that is to put Windows 8 in 'Tes...

Well, you need to be able to install unsigned drivers, since the Sonic Core drivers aren't signed. This is how you allow unsigned drivers in Windows 8: "You can permanently enable Test Mode () by opening an Elevated Command Prompt and typing the following commands, then rebooting: bcdedit -set ...

Yes, it IS an official Windows 8 version, it has been released officially on August 15. The retail version will be released on October 26. (Which make my comments, I must admit, look premature)
Thanks for your great suggestion about driver signing options, I will look into that!

I'm not angry, and am sorry if it looked that way. I just wanted to express my disappointment... And yes, I do think having the latest Windows, which has already been released to MSDN and Volume License clients, is important to me. (or OSX for that matter) I've been on the Scope platform for a long ...

There's only one application/device not working on my Windows 8 (x64) system. That's Scope PCI. I'm guessing it's the Scope PCI driver that's problematic, I expect that the Scope PCI application software would work as it did on Windows 7 if only the driver could be loaded. I'm not surprised that Sco...

The response I received from Sonic Core support: "it's not just a matter of a driver. the program must also work. at this time, there is no win8 version. there are also almost no professional audio applications with win8 versions, so this matter won't be addressed until after v6 is finished.&qu...

I'm really getting tired about 'Windows 8 is not supported' comments. Of course Windows 8 isn't supported, but didn't the Sonic Core development team know Windows 8 has been in the works? That it would be released this year? Most of the 'pro' audio applications don't 'support' Windows 8, but prelimi...

Yes, I did...

Hi,

I just upgraded my Windows 7 (x64) to Windows 8 (x64) (RTM). However, I'm unable to install the Scope driver (x64). Has anyone encountered this problem and better yet, solved it?

I think Verypsb is talking about XTC Mode wich i assume scope plugins will still need a bridge to work in 64bit host just as 32bit Native plugins need one. To my knowledge this is the Natur of dsp-card plugins and a bridge is required for all dsp Platform plugins running as VST's (e.g. UAD, Powerco...

That may be true, but what about x64 compatibility when using a x64 host? Think about the 32-bit VST problems when using a 64-bit host. Or would that be an driver?

Is VSTIM/XTC something that can be tested/used? Or is it just not working?

I'm stil waiting for mine. 36 hours and counting...

EDIT: Just arrived.

As far as i see it Sonic Core only made one announcement about 64bit on this forum, the rest is hearsey and private emails. Nothing official on the website or in magazine articles declaring without a doubt the 64bit version will be release on a specific day, no promises made, no word given, no swea...

6 months later... still no sign of 64-bit drivers.

Yes, it is...

Last chance... for KW21, that is.
