I have problems with my computer and I am about to buy a new one to import all the songs I currently have in my faulty computer. Before I start finding problems or issues in the process I would like to ask some questions:
Would the whole process be as “easy” as to install the all the midi/audio drivers, plugins, and Cantabile and then import all the songs in the new computer? Am I missing something?
I’m considering buying a HP Pavillion x360 with touchscreen and Windows 10 preinstalled. Any thoughts on the computer or anyone can share any experience with it? Will Cantabile work without problems in Windows 10?
32 bit or 64 bit? Would this make any difference in the process?
Any other thing or possible problem I should consider?
I am open to any other computer recomendation/suggestion. The 360-degree geared hinge is a plus for me, and my power needs aren’t that hight. My current pc is an i7 at 2.2GHz with 4BG RAM and I’m using just 60% CPU in use (72% while loading Pianoteq).
If you can match the port names and paths on the new machine, moving the data in Cantabile is a no brainer.
As far as 32/64 bit, if you’re referring to the OS, 64 bits is the only way to go now. If you’re talking about Cantabile, the 32/64 bit decision is determined largely by the plugins you use and whether or not you want to use jbridge.
I keep all my Cantabile data on OneDrive, so that everything is automatically backed up and there are multiple levels of restore available. Since you’re moving your data, I would consider it a good time to think about doing something similar (whether it’s OneDrive or Dropbox or whatever).
thanks to both for the answers, they are really very helpful!!
As for the 32/64 bit I wasn’t very clear. After reading the quick instructions I just have one doubt: do the 32 and 64 bit plugins have the same internal unique ID? or are they treated as different plugins?
I’m asking this becase I had a 64 bit Windows, with a 32 bit cantabile and all plugins in 32 bit format except for VB3 II that is 64 bit (played through jbridge), and I think that maybe it’s time to have all in 64 bit format.
