Will Wavelab 6 run on a Win 7 64 bit computer ?

[studer58]

It might sound like an archaic question...but I'm very happy with Wavelab 6, hate Wavelab 7 and can't yet justify moving to Wavelab 8. I'll be upgrading from XP 32 bit to a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit laptop soon, can I expect to run my 32 bit Wavelab 6 on it without problems (is anyone here doing this already ?) Cheers for your feedback and advice

[Phil Reynolds]

It does on mine! (Win 7 Pro, 4,2GHz quad-core, 16Gb RAM), so hopefully you'll be OK.

[Scramble]

Yes. (Actually, that chart says 'unofficial', but in my experience Wavelab 6 works on W7).

[studer58]

Thanks for your reassurances, have just gone ahead with a W7 Prof 64 bit laptop purchase !

cheers

+1 no problems here. I run both 6 and 7.

+1 'unnoficial' tends nowadays to mean that if you run into problems the company won't help you sort it out

Thanks Martin,
Yes that's the usual company disclaimer relating to 'obsolete' OS's and/or software. Believe me, this forum would be my first port of call for reliable, fast advice before I'd dock my ship in the Steinberg help/support harbour I'm more than happy to be a Luddite and sail a year or two behind any updates anyway...!

All are you okay, I'm running both 6 and 7 are.

>Yes that's the usual company disclaimer relating to 'obsolete' OS's and/or software.

Not with Steinberg, generally if a piece of software isn't compatible with an OS then it isn't listed on the compatibility chart. But occasionally they have this category of 'unofficially compatible', and the situation then is as Martin says, it seems to work with the OS but they won't provide support for it in the case of problems.
