Party Vibe

I noticed a bunch of affordable new laptops have it already installed, but if I did upgrade I would want to be sure my DJ software works well with it. TBH I would stick with Win 7 for as long as 2 years until first bugs are removed and software made more compatible. I only started using Win 7 last year and at work the bulk of PC’s are still XP based. But I install and work on PC’s for businesses and we can’t afford to take chances or be unpaid beta testers. Even at a radio station I volunteer for we can only use XP PCs as the main audio playout software crashes hard on Win 7.

BTW people use “active topics” here so even if you post in the computer section the thread is still looked at. Some very brainy people visit here as well with good advice, it may not be instant but its worth waiting for or referring back to to solve problems.

this would be for a new machine, the issue is that it appears Microsoft are subsidising better hardware machines to encourage sales of both the new laptop and Win 8 (though I bet the usual MS bloat would eat away at any gains)

the only reason I would want the computer is for live mixing at the radio station as all my current music is digital and it seems daft copying it on to CDs and trying to beatmix on a setup which isn’t as ergonomically ideal as the CDJs are the smaller rackmount type and in a position which is between a conventional radio mixer and a DJ mixer. I will wait a few months and then see if high spec Win 7 machines are also heavily discounted 😉
