Now that the new computer is up and running, I have to load my music applications onto it and get the drivers for the odd bits of hardware installed.
One of the nice touches with this system is that they, by default, included a full copy of the Acronis backup software. This is the application that I would have installed anyway. This allows me to take a disk image, install something and if the install doesn't work, I can restore back to the previous image.
They installed a stripped down version of Windows Vista and there may be compatibility problems with some of the drivers for the older equipment. This kind of a safety net is invaluable.
Thank you SweetWater!
My main applications are Sonar, Acid, Adobe Audition (used to be Cool Edit Pro) and a couple other obscure utilities and such. Been playing with Traction and Cubase so these will get loaded as well.
Also, this weekend, we are hosting the fifth annual Solstice party. A bunch of crazed backpackers and hikers from the Pacific Northwest will descend upon our farm for a weekend of food, liquor and debauchery. Guerrilla Croquet will be an especial feature. Bonfire on Saturday evening. Pictures will be posted.
