Topic: digi cards and windows 7 starter (32 bit)

Anybody has any experience with windows 7 starter and DIGI96XX drivers? I want to keep my recording rig as simple and lean as possible. I have an old cubase and need to send a downmix, a bit of a compression and relay back to the vocalist at the lowest RTL possible I use saffire 24pro for i/o and i have couple of old digi cards available that have no extension-daughter cards. I am windows-illiterate but ill figure out. I hate firewire with all of my passion.

many thanks for your input, Jackie.

The old DIGI cards will work with ASIO driver only (no WDM support) as long as the OS is 32-bit version.

Re: digi cards and windows 7 starter (32 bit)

I just installed my first card (HD9652) on windows x64 and I can't believe how painless it was. I now have to sync two PreSonus 2626 units with Xmax prez and map two cascaded BCF2000 for input control. I have a Yamaha 01V96 on outs and I guess I am good to go.

I browsed trough the old stuff about ASIO drivers. I am not sure what is downside of ASIO drivers. All I care is 2-3 channels of clean, zero latency input recorded at 96 without any bits lost crackling or any other nonsense. I use the latest reaper with native instruments essentials

Many thanks Jeff.

Ill work on digi9632 tomorrow.
