I don't have EZD but a lot of people were talking about it on the CW forums; I'm pretty sure I remember reading they had an update. Also if both BitBridge and jBridge don't solve a problem, you can have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Sonar installed on the same machine.

I dont expect that memory will be an issue for me as well, since I'll probably not get anywhere near your requirements for the DAW. I just really hate to see all this machinery <not to mention the money I dumped into it!> go to waste. My old DAW <core 2 duo e7300, 4 gigs, xp, etc...> is probably more than I'll need in itself, but what the heck.

It is BitBridge it doesn't work with -- the > interface comes up blank. Does this mean I can't use Proteus VX as a plug-in soft synth with my SONAR 7 Studio Edition, XP Home Edition system? I don't know my bridge situation. -- Cheers, Ben |
