Brandon Strader Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 The interface I have now is not working on Windows 7 64-bit which means I'm out of luck for recording anything until I find a replacement. This is bad, because I've got a lot of projects right now that want stuff done. I was looking at this as a possible replacement: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=970 The one I have now is this: http://www.alesis.com/io26 So yeah, the change in those 2 is huge. I will have a lot less to work with if I get the smaller interface, BUT THE MAIN THING is that it HAS TO ACTUALLY WORK. You know what I mean? I'd rather have a smaller thing that works than a big thing that doesn't. So to all people with Win7 and 64-bit who record instruments with an interface, what do you use? What could you recommend? I don't have a large budget. My budget is very small. Edirol is $225 and recommended by Usa, an audio engineer who doesn't use 64-bit win7 afaik. Quote
Yoozer Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 So http://www.alesis.com/content216908 is Vista only? Bummer . Quote
Brandon Strader Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 So http://www.alesis.com/content216908 is Vista only? Bummer . Big bummer. Believe me, I installed the 64-bit Win7 drivers for the Alesis io|26 and it is pure disaster. It doesn't work. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 This! http://www.zzounds.com/item--PRSFSMOBILE That looks great. It's a good $70 some dollars more than the Edirol... Have you tested it on Win7 64-bit personally or have you heard about it? Quote
Sixto Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I have the Firebox and it works perfectly in 7 64. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 I have the Firebox and it works perfectly in 7 64. I'm a little confused when it comes to USB vs. Firewire. I know they say firewire is better. I'm not completely sure why my firewire Alesis interface isn't working. I'm sure they wouldn't release drivers if they were completely nonsense. Is there a way I could tell if it is a problem with the computer instead of the interface? It worked ok with XP but then again what didn't. xD Quote
Brandon Strader Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 I just installed an old USB Toneport UX1 that was laying around... If I set it as the audio device in Cubase, I can record with it but I hear no audio... if I set the audio device to my speakers I can hear my music but there's no Toneport functionality. So... I don't know what to do there, you can't choose dual audio devices in Cubase for some weird reason. I need an interface that can both record and run the audio through my speakers. o_o Quote
