I have the 3.0 version. It's not the Adobe part, it's the Vista part. Like with any OS (including Apple OS stuff, so don't start a PC/Apple war here, everyone), it takes a while to figure out how to optimize and configure. Basically I have to figure out all over again which services need to be turned off, and/or tweak memory/CPU settings.bluesman wrote:Which version of Audition are you using?kayagum wrote:If you have a choice, stick with XP.

Adobe says that Audition version 3 is Vista ready.
Windows Vista or stick with XP for Adobe Audition

Well...there are RED FLAGS all over the place with 64 bit processors. Adobe will not guarantee that anything will work, Alesis says that their fireport will not work, no 64 bit labelmakers either!.....Vista is not the problem, its the 64 bit thing.......This means that I will be getting a 32 bit quad core....and Dell says that they will load it with XP & include a free Vista installation DVD, incase I ever decide to go Vista. This means that I will be using all my existing software!!! Easiest on the pocket! It certainly pays to do your homework!!!!! Now I will not be having any compatibility issues with Vista or 64 bit non existant software.
Thanks to All for planting the seed of doubt! Thanks a THOUSAND times!!!!!!

My laptop died on the road a couple weeks back. Bought a new Vaio dual core. While I knew I was getting Vista, turns out it came with 64bit Vista. Problem- no 64 bit drivers for my M-Audio interface. No matter what I tried couldn't get them installed (turned off driver signing, install as legacy device etc). After some fussing around I managed to get XP installed on a separate partition. I've got Audition 3.0 installed on both partitions right now. Haven't used it heavily yet but I can say that it starts up and runs simple functions fine on both OS. No crashes on Vista 64 yet. Vista IS a resource hog. Even with a lot of stuff disabled (including all of Sony's trialware) 1Gb of my 4Gb of RAM is consumed by the OS. Like previous versions of Windows it also has a tendency to not clear RAM after an application has been exited. So, while I'm not ready to completely wipe Vista from the machine I expect my audio work will be done primarily on the XP partition. YMMV

Don't change an existing computer to Vista. But if the best deal on a new maching includes Vista, no need to run around screaming. Certainly you should give it a try before getting complicated with dual-booting. If you have older programs or hardware that don't like Vista - sure set up an XP boot as well. But you may be pleasantly surprised. The latest Audition runs fine on Vista.
What video editor are you using? It sounds as if you could benefit from doing the whole thing in Vegas - it started out as a multitrack audio application and all that functionality is still there alongside the video stuff.

I used Vegas from right after it first came out up through version 4.x and even after they released version 5.0 (about six years). I don't recommend it as a DAW. For less money you can get better sound quality and workflow with MUCH better plug-ins. I think the needs of video editing and audio production are different enough that there isn't really an all-in-one app out there that is even as good as, not to mention better than, two separate solutions.
Going back to the 64-bit OS question, it is a real issue. Staying 32-bit for now is a good idea.
Of course, Leopard is 64-bit with no problems...

I just bought a new laptop for taking with me on the road (work). I really, really wanted it to come with XP, but I didn't have the option. I went with Vista Home Premium 32bit, and after a week I haven't had a single problem. The pop up windows asking for permission were about my only complaint, so I turned that feature off. Works great. I think all of the extra security stuff is aimed towards people who don't know much about computers. It's like a padded room. But for people who know how to not run into walls, the pads can be taken off. I'm slowly removing the fluff that comes packed with a new system. Like, no I don't need your Norton I like AVG, etc.
I have a 2.4GHz dual core AMD and 3Gb of RAM. The problems I read about Vista were mainly with the 64bit version, which is why I didn't go with 4Gb of RAM (HP said I'd have to get 64bit to use 4Gb).
I haven't had a chance to install Sonar or Reason yet, and I'm very curious as to how they will perform on a laptop and in Vista. Really, I thought Vista would be a nightmare from what I've 'heard', but I'm really liking it so far. Years ago I was an unfortunate user of Win ME. I absolutely hate that OS. Major crashes at least once a month. Vista is way better, kind of reminds me of XP but a bit faster and prettier.
I know I'm probably just asking for it. I leave on my first work trip this week, so we'll see how it goes.

For anyone who is still following this thread, Even though I was only considering PC solutions, I wound up buying a G5 PowerPC with dual core 2.5gig processor, OS X.4 & 4 gigs of ram. I decided to buy this older but still powerful Mac for video editing & keep my pc for all my audio mixing, label printing etc.....I have an extra lcd monitor that can be employed for video tasks. The Mac comes with imovie6, which should be all that I will need to edit my music videos. No new software to buy! No learning curve for new audio software.
I can't wait to dive in!
Thanks to all

VISTA RULES> PERIOD
I leave it all up and running too.
All of those popup windows are great too......after you get it broke in they only come up when you put new stuff on your computer.......
OR when you enter porn sites. It is a really good program for stopping that porn crap from bogging down the computer.
I couldn't go back to xp if I wanted too it sucks so bad.
I have been running vista for one year now. brilliant looking and acting. no reloading the operating system every five months anymore......plus there is a driver for everything included in the damn operating system which helps out....when you plug something in it works...instead of searching for the damn xp driver.

Vista is OK
I recently needed to update my machine and ended up with a 32 bit Vista machine - maxed the ram to 4gig etc. I was a little worried and not looking forward to the UI etc. but after using it for a week I really liked it. Not sure what all the hate is. Yes - you can turn off lots of the bells and whistles. I've had no trouble with crashes and Cubase runs on it just fine.
