Good news... My Firewire card (generic PCI which appears as Texas Instruments 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller) and M-Audio ProjectMix I/O appear to work correctly after upgrading from 8.1 to 10. Cubase 8 Pro runs, although I'm not sure how to recreate the timing issues that Steinberg have reported.andrew71 wrote:I'm cloning my system disk now. I'll run the upgrade in on the cloned disk and start checking things out. My main issue is with the M-Audio ProjectMix and Firewire support. As Cubase 8 Pro is my DAW, I'll see how that runs too. I know about Steinberg's warning and I should be able to easily switch back to my original disk if there are any problems.
Bad news... The iLok authorisation manager is moaning about not being installed correctly and there doesn't appear to be a way of uninstalling it through Control Panel or its own program group or folder. I guess that when I finally try the full upgrade I'll have to uninstall it first. I'd already moved the licenses off of the hard drive prior to upgrading.
Untested... I haven't tried many VST instruments or effects. Quite a lot use challenge/response authentication which I'm sure the upgrade will have broken and they'll need reauthorising.
I'll probably wait until Steinberg patch Cubase Pro 8 before I do the full upgrade.
