AA3/Mackie MPU & MCU Pro/Vista 64 bit

Talked to Mackies tech support today and they where not able to tell me if thier MCU or MCU Pro worked with AA3 under Vista 64 bit. They where not sure if either worked with AA3 under XP 64 bit.
Is anyone using a control surface with AA3 and Vista 64 bit?
Thanks
Duff

To all interested:
The Frontier Designs AlphaTrack will work with AA3 & Vista 64 bit.
The Mackie MCU Pro will also as long as it has the new server pack or e-prom chip.
Frontier sent me info including links to newer drivers and all the setup info I would need.
As for Mackie, I had called them twice. Both times I got a run around, and was told,"It will work fine with XP 64." DOH....Finally the boys at Sweetwater came through. They where able to get past sales and to someone in Engineering.
Wonder which ine I can get the wife to buy me for Christmas?

Boot Camp Mac Pro Vista 32 / 64 Nvidia 7300GT Maya / OpenGL apps freeze?

I have successfully installed Vista 32 and 64 in addition to OSX. I have the latest BootCamp install. (which should not matter) I have installed the latest Nvidia drivers for the 7300GT in both 32 and 64. Whenever I try and launch any openGL application (tried Maya, Mudbox, Realflow so far) they all just freeze on startup. I can play DirectX games just fine. I have tried everything, including re-arranging my RAM, changing every Nvidia setting (exhaustive searches on other forums). I have a Mac Pro (quad core), 5GB RAM, two SATA partitions on the primary drive, and a dedicated drive for Vista 64. BTW - I was having the same problem in Vista 32 as well before I decided to try installing Vista 64. This seems to be a very strange issue, since undoubtedly the Apple team would have tested at least a single openGL app before qualifying Vista for boot camp.
I have already installed the latest EFI update, and when I try and install the update to Nvidia firmware OSX in it's verbose glory tells me "you do not need this update".
BTW - when I install Vista 64, BEFORE I install the Nvidia drivers (using Microsoft Nvidia drivers), I can load Maya just fine. Although, it is not very responsive, which defeats the purpose.

I assume you have insured that they WILL install and run properly?

I think it is a shame you don't have the X1900, though. Or 8800 which only works under Windows but interferes with OS X even booting. (I have 8600 which doesn't work in OS X but at least does work in Vista).
Only Business and Ultimate support dual cpus. And only x64 supports 5GB. 32-bit SP1 will see all 5GB but not sure how much it uses. Otherwise, Mac Pro + Vista 32-bit supports 1.9GB RAM - which is paltry.
Does Maya system requirements show the 7300?

Adobe Audition 6 and Mackie MCU Pro Control Surface

I have recently opbtained a Mackie MCU Pro Control Surface, for use with Adobe Audition CS6. At first I used it with an HP i7 running Windows 8. It worked like a dream, doing everything that I expected of it. Now, I have plugged it to my Laptop, running Windows 7 Home Premium. Sadly it refuses to respond to any commands in either direction. The PC giives the two-note ackowledgment that the USB is comminucating. However, that's as far as it goes.
Audition on the laptop knows what's connected and all options offer the USB connected device correctly named. Whatever I do, there is no sign of the Mackie MCU Pro waking up. It just seems to sit there, probably thinking it's a 'fridge or a toaster.
Has anyone else used this combination and did it work OK? I'm sure I'm mssing something obvious and there's an 'enable' of some sort. Can anyone offer any thoughts?
Thabk you for your time and help.
Alan

I have completely reset the Laptop (Packard Bell Easynote) to factory defaults and reinstalled Audition from scratch. It is now exactly the same as that installed on the desktop, except that the Laptop is Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium) and the Desktop is Windows 8.
I was hopeful that a fresh install of Audition CS6 would set the Mackie Control Surface off and running. Sadly, it is not the case.
So:
With precisely the same software (same source and same S/N) the Mackie worlks correctly with the Desktop but doesn't work at all with the laptop.
Just for the record, when plugging the USB from the Mackie to the laptop, it produces the usual two-tone acknowledgement that it is seeing something it recognises, but that is as far as it goes.
I'm now at a loss. Does anyone have any further thoughts?
Many thanks,
Alan

Can someone help me find a workaround to get flash to work in XP Pro 64 bit, like there is a workaround for vista 64 bit?

I am trying to get rid of all my 32 bit apps because the more of them you run in 64 bit the less resources are available.
Firefox has a 64 bit browser they call the Shiretoko build. I love it, it's twice as fast as a heavily tweaked 32 bit firefox. Java has a 64 bit plugin that works with it.
The last holdout is Adobe.
Microsoft is making Vista and Win 7 64 bit as easy and smooth as the 32 bit versions as a means to get people to start using them.
Linux has a way to make flash work with 64 bit.
Remember when we all had a 16 bit operating system and how much better things got with 32 bit?
Adobe, it's time!.. don't you see that?
Can someone help me solve my problem? Please?

I just want a good sound card mounted into my computer...
Thanx in advance.
no the audigy 2 zs is pci based. they have another called audigy 2 zs notebook and that's the one for laptop. if you can't find it from your vendor, you can always try getting it from someone else.

Windows Vista 64 bit w/older 2 dual core 3.0ghz Mac Pro with NVIDIA 7300

I have read a variety of the posts that have appeared here on the use of Windows Vista 64 bits on a Mac Pro. I remain confused, and but want to do this. I have a Mac Pro purchased in the Spring of '07 with dual 3.0Ghz dual core Xeon cpus and 10gb of ram, using the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and running 10.5.1, with multiple drives. I want to run the 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate to use my ram, and to gain the performance this box should offer. It appears that I have three options:
1. Boot Camp: I don't know if the drivers are available, seems like the new Mac Pro drivers probably would not work, even if I could find them, since I have an older Mac Pro with a pair of the dual core Xeon CPUs. Don't know if there is an alternate source than Apple for the drivers, or a way to get around the problem in boot camp.
2. Parallels: I do not believe that 64 bit apps are supported by Parallels
3. Fusion: Their web site says they support Win Vista 64 bit, but it is not clear to me on the web site where the drivers are obtained, or perhaps they are built in to Fusion. Will I get the performance and memory benefits in fusion? Or is the OSX virtual overhead so high that this is a fools errand?
I do a lot of video editing, and fully 95% of my life is in the Mac world, but I have individuals who send files for editing, and occasionally they require Windows tools, much to my chagrin. I also have a small number of programs that need Windows 64. I occasionally am required to do some development work, and would like to use this machine for that purpose if it can indeed run Win Vista 64bit. I have XP loaded on a more modest box andit is running fine when I need it, which isn't very often.
Any help, or successful experience in running Windows Ultimate 64 bit on this hardware, utilizing its resources would be greatly appreciated.

Here are my results after further digging online and from my own experience.
Here is the procedure:
1. Check whether your Mac has the 32-bit EFI or 64-bit EFI
http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/08/snow-leopard-106-and-64-bit-what-you-need-to- know/
2. Create a Boot Camp (BC) partition for Windows 7 x64. Resize the partition size using the slider in the BC app. Follow the instruction, insert the Windows 7 disk and reboot.
3. This will load the PC partition which is FAT formatted for now. Choose the Boot Camp partition on which to install Win 7, but choose in the option to format that partition. It will automatically format it in NTFS. Otherwise, it will not install on that partition.
Note : A "OEM System Builder" Windows 7 64-bit Professional UPGRADE install without any issues what so ever. The upgrade disk is a full install. Read this for further information:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/174288/windows7_upgrade_madecheaper.html
4. Run windows, then insert the Snow Leopard disk. It will tell you your hardware cannot support x64 version. Do the following procedure to manually install the driver:

5. Then update Boot camp using Apple Software Update in Windows.
6. All hardware works fine except the sound. The sound only comes out of the internal speaker, even when headphone or speakers are plugged in the jack. Installing the Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs driver in order to fixe the problem. Shutdown and reboot to make it applicable. Try a second time if it still does not work:

Vista 64 bit and new MacBook Pro 17"

Any idea where to get Boot Camp drivers for the new 17" MBPro? When trying to install Vista 64 bit the system claims there are no drivers available from the OS X disk or when trying to run the 2.1 update.
Thanks!

Macs that support Vista 64-bit:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
And, Boot Camp 2.1 drivers included in 10.5.4+ DVD
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1999
If you don't have or see /BootCamp on your OEM or retail DVD that came with your 17" MacBook Pro, you may need to contact Apple Care or Customer Service.
Even though the above article does not specifically mention the 17" model (newest and latest) I assume it is just that article(s) aren't always updated in a timely enough fashion.
I would not bother with the download, or even via Apple SU if it does 'offer' 2.1, and just use your Leopard DVD. (If you do want to install or update, then be sure to create a Restore Point; use WinClone and/or Vista Ultimate PC Backup and Restore center and backup your system to external drive.

Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit for running CS4 Premiere Pro

     Greetings, I need some advice on whether to upgrade my computer or not! I am currently running CS4 Premiere Pro (ver 4.2.1) with HD 1080 footage. My computer is a HP d4999z Image maker (Pavillon) using Vista 32-bit OS. It has an AMD 9600 Quad-core processor 2.3 GHz (ADM phenom 64 Nvidia), Ram is 4 GB, Windows Vista Home Prem (service pak2), a Nvidia GEForce 8800GT, creative SB-x-Fi, 3 internal HD and 2 external HD.
     I use PremPro CS4 for video editing of my HD footage. I am a serious amateur, and not a professional. HP says that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate on my current computer and go from 4 GB ram to 8 GB, but 8GB is the max. So my question is... will an upgrade like this (Wind 7/64 and more RAM), give me significantly faster or better processing? And is Windows 7/64 Ultimate a more stable platform on which to run CS4?
     Eventually, I will go to CS5; but not on this computer. Probably late next year for the new computer.
     Thanks for any advice. Jean

Jean,
I think that you will find Win7-64 with an increase in RAM will offer a bit more stability and performance gain, though only a 64-bit program will get you a real increase. Whether the "bang for the buck" is enough to justify the move, is another matter. Harm and Bill G. can probably quantify that increase in performance for you, to help with the decision.
One caveat that I might offer would be the 64-bit drivers currently available. Word on the street indicates that that situation will likely improve with Win7-64 SP1. As you will be using CS4, you should not have the issue with Effects, CODEC's, etc., being 32-bit, even if you have a 64-bit OS.
Good luck, and expect a couple of folk to have some real-world numbers for you, to help you make the final decision.

BIOS - going from Vista 32 bit to Win 7 Pro 64 bit

I have Vista 32 bit on my X200 now and I plan on doing a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
My question is: can I upgrade my BIOS now to the latest 64 bit version or do I update BIOS after installing Win 7 64 bit?
Thank you.

32 bit live cam video im pro vista dri

I just purchased a li've cam video im pro and downloaded the vista 32 bit driver. I ran the setup and the files appear to be in the correct directory, but the "driver set-up" progress window stalls at 90%. I thought the installation might need the camera, so I plugged it in, but alas, to no avail. I've tried to install the camera 4 different times, but each time it goes all the way through the process and then freezes at 90%. I've doubled checked and I'm running a new install of Vista 32 bit on a ?new gateway computer. Anybody got any ideas?Pete

MacBook Pro running Windows Vista 64 bit

I have a business requirement to run Windows on my Mac. I have one of the new MacBook Pro's 5.1 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz and glass trackpad. My question is should I buy the 32bit or 64 bit package? I need to run MS Office, specifically Access, and my version is Office 2003. I'd prefer Vista rather than XP only because I've used it previously and it more resembles the Mac OS than XP's desktop. I know that Windows 7 is around the corner but I've got to run with what's available. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Barry

True, Windows 32-bit, if run natively (ie. not in a virtual machine, in which case the whole 4GB isn't available anyway) will not see even the entire available 4GB. But it's a moot point. Even if running Vista 64-bit, MS Office is a 32-bit application - it is already RAM limited to 32-bit address space, regardless of what the OS is capable of. Sometime next year, MS may start shipping a 64-bit version of Office, but then again, when was the last time MS actually met a proposed shipping date with any product?
As I said, to take advantage of 64-bit computing, you need 3 things - more then 4GB of RAM, a 64-bit OS, AND 64-bit applications.
Barry - as to how you want to run it the main thing is do you need or want access to your OS desktop or files at the same time as running Windows? If you do then a virtual machine makes sense. I run VMWare Fusion on my work Mac Pro (which has 10GB of RAM) and have both XP 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines. I simple run my virtual machine in one Spaces desktop, and have 3 other Spaces desktops for my OS X applications. From the Windows virtual machine, I can drag and drop files to and from my shared OS X folders.
If you don't care about simultaneous sharing of resources, then from a performance perspective, it makes more sense to use bootcamp and run Windows natively (since booting to windows will always give better performance then a virtual machine).
If you go the virtual machine route, and are eligible for the education discount, then I would order VMWare Fusion from Apple (actually, once your order is processed, you just get a download account for the VMWare web site, so you actually get near-immediate access to your product).

Does Premiere Pro CS4 really support Vista 64-bit?

I have installed Premiere Pro CS4 on my Vista 64-bit server and recognized in the task manager that Premiere is listed as a 32-bit application "Adobe Premiere Pro.exe *32" which makes me wonder if Adobe's statement given in the FAQ is correct, where they say "Adobe Premiere Pro is optimized to run on 64-bit systems. The key advantage of 64-bit systems is that they can use up to 64GB of RAM. Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 can use large amounts of this memory because it splits different tasks into separate processes."
Am I executing the correct Premiere Pro EXE-file (the application itself works fine) and is that 32-bit application able to make use of the fully available RAM space (which is 8 GB on my system)?

Well great for you Harm, but this problem has me stumped. I've been troubleshooting NLE systems since my Pinnacle DC30 Premiere 4.2 system.
I'm looking for a solution not to start a fight so if anyone has confronted similar problems and found a fix, please reply.
FYI, Adobe has made it clear that Premiere CS4 does not support daisy chaining decks or any other 1394 devices, but this is not my problem.
"Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 doesn't support multiple devices on a FireWire chain or multiple devices on a FireWire card."
Above quote copied from this Adobe support document http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405744.html
I'm not working with DV I have been shooting in 720P on a Sony PVW EX1 if that even matters.
Can you explain why my external array works well with XP fairly well with 32 bit Vista? It's an ASUS P5E Deluxe motherboard. This is not BS, I have a long list of Microsoft case numbers and it is REAL pain having to explain to someone in India the problem over and over again. I've been told by the array manufacturer SimpleTech ProDuo that it should work with the OS drivers. The Internet forums for other 1394 devices have many instances of 64 bit Vista incompatibility. The same problems I'm having with the same OS just different devices. What's really weird is how it will work fine like today, it's back to normal. I have had this system working perfectly then overnight the array vanishes in my computer but shows up in device manager with an error. Then a few hours later without changing anything, it starts working again, very intermittent. As usual, it will fail when there's a deadline.
I've run Avast antivirus, Malwarebytes and Spybot. Swapped cables,defragged drives, updated MB bios and software looked everywhere for solutions.
The MB Manual is found at http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
I can transfer content to my internal array but I'm trying to optimize a workflow that starts by shooting on SxS cards on the PVW EX1 and transferring them to the array in the field with the 32 bit Vista laptop and making rough cuts. I keep the project files on a USB drive. Then transfer the array and USB drive to the 9450 quad desktop system in the studio for final editing. When I get this to work, it's a real time saver. But transferring files to the internal array is possibly the only dependable solution for now.

Satellite Pro A300-1NT - need Vista 64-Bit drivers

Hello,
I bought the notebook Toshiba Satellite A300-1NT which came with Windows Vista 32-Bit pre installed and an XP Recovery Disc.
I bought the Vista 64-Bit Edition but I didn't find any drivers for Vista 64-bit on your website though it is 64-bit compatible.
How can I get them ?

Hi
It looks like the Vista 64bit drivers for A300 series are not available on the Toshiba European driver page at this time.
Therefore youve got two possibilities;
Either you will wait till such drivers will be released on the driver website or you will try to collect such drivers at your own hand.
You could search and try for example such single drivers released for another notebook series and could search also on website from chip manufacturers like Intel, Realtek, etc
Bye
