The DAW I built is still running rock solid and does everything I need. So I decided to build a more capable desktop machine )) It was getting full (hard drive) and the programs and plugs were taxing it's ability to run efficiently. ((EDIT: at the time I was running a Dell laptop duo core with Vista as the OS. It was, at the time a rock solid and stable platform to support Sonar X1. ( NOTE: This was back around 2008 IIRC 12 years or so ago ) I got Windows XP Pro 32 bit. I decided to use XP and I had to buy XP online. In the Cakewalk forums at the time, it was common knowledge that XP was one of the more stable platforms to use when running the cakewalk DAWs. Ordered the parts on line, put it all together and loaded the OS. It kinda reminds me that he wants you to conform to him and his ways rather than helping you get ahead.but then again that's just me. But since you already have a Intel i5 processor, are running Win 10 and using a recent interface, stepping back to an older build seems pointless. Yes, there are many people who use XP for recording, several here on the forum do exactly that.
In my opinion, and mine only, I don't think this engineer is "shooting straight" with you. Yes, there is the constant forced update issues with Win 10 but I'm willing to trade that off for the security it offers. Particularly if you get into the 32 bit versus 64 bit arena.Windows XP was 32 bit whereas Windows XP Professional was 64 bit as I remember.įrom your "sig", you're running Win 10.one of the most stable and secure Windows OS's yet to be released. Not only that, but as time goes on you may find that newer programs cannot or will not run on XP. Due to that, its become somewhat of a "hackers" dream particularly if the computer is used on the internet. As a result, Microsoft no longer issues patches or security updates. Windows XP support ended on April 8th 2014. As far as I know, neither was the precursor to the other, although they may have "borrowed" extensively from each other as features and technology progressed over the years. Both Cakewalk and ProTools were developed in the late 80's by competing companies, Twelve Tone Systems (then Gibson, then BandLab) and Digidesign (now with Avid Technologies) respectively.
