CE2k on Windows 7 64-bit?

Hi,

I am wondering if Cool Edit 2k will load and run properly under Windows 7 64-bit. I may need to use Cool Edit for a small project and am satisfied with its' performance and don't want to upgrade to Audition.

Thanks in advance,

I've just installed the basic CE2k and the Studio 4-track add on and registered them, and it all seems to work for a simple one mic recording on my Win7 64-bit machine.

I've only recorded, tried a simple edit and played back. The installers did throw up some Win 7 warnings asking if they had installed correctly, but all the basics seem OK.

I haven't tested whether parameters are remembered correctly between sessions, but that might not matter anyway.

I would be wary of soundcards under Win 7, though - see my thread in the Hardware and Soundcards area here. I can happily work around the problem, but haven't figured out why it's happening.

Really, Go 64-Bit
The caveat section looks longer than the "DO IT" section, but really, you'll probably be just fine running 64-bit. A ton of other people will be 64-bit with this generation of OSes/hardware too, so you won't be alone. The benefits of oodles of RAM, given all the crap you're running simultaneously, are just too good to pass up, especially once more apps are 64-bit native. Besides, the more people that jump on the 64-bit Express, the faster developers will transition their apps to 64-bit, and any bumps in the road will be smoothed out. So don't just do it for yourself, do it for everyone.
