MS For Windows 7 64 Bit

[jaguar]

As a 10 year user of Microstudio, I always recommend MTU as the best CDG software publisher. However I just realized MS 4.22 doesn't work for 64 bit version of Windows 7 after telling friends that they couldn't go wrong with MTU. What bothers me the most is that in the ad. for MS 4.22 in the MTU website says it works for 64 bit W7 as 7/2/2010. Does it mean those poor freinds of mine can get a update for free of charge?

The web site states:
Computer Requirements

1. A Windows/PC computer with at least 2GB of free hard drive space. NOTE: Microstudio requires Windows 7, Windows 2000+SR4, XP Home/Pro/Media Center+SR2, or Vista with .NET Framework v1.1 or higher.
   
   
2. WARNING! With ANY Windows 64-bit version (XP, Vista or Windows 7), Microstudio 4.22 can ONLY play files on the hard drive, but CANNOT import, play or write tracks on an optical CD/CDG disc, or duplicate discs. We are working on a fix but have no clear release date.
   
   
3. Graphics video card with 32MB or more of RAM that supports Direct-X 9.0 or higher (cards with less than 32MB RAM usually don't support 9.0 - MTU recommends ATI Radeon cards). Video cards with S3 chips or in laptop computers don't support Direct-X 9.0.
   
   
4. 1GHz or faster Processor (any Intel or AMD). MTU ships Laptop systems with new Core 2 Duo processor motherboards. System RAM: If Windows runs, Microstudio should also.
   
   
5. An MTU Certified CDG Recorder or equivalent to import CDG Karaoke discs to the hard drive and write CDG/CD discs.

Version 4.22 does not work for any 64 bit system yet. MTU is working on finding the solution to this, but currently it is not ready.
As it stands right now if they have purchased within 12 months from the release of the new version then it will be a free upgrade otherwise they will have to purchase an upgrade.

I just got an email from mtu today in regards to the microstudio write feature using 64 bit. I am holding off purchasing a much needed computer to replace my old studio computer, untill the write feature is working. MTU is working daily on this, and have been for about 6 months. They do have microstudio working on 64 bit, but the error correction is not working correctly. They are getting distorted graphics. They're getting closer to getting it done, but like anything else with 64 bit, it's slow going.

Warren, you didn't steer your friends wrong at all. Microstudio is the best software of it's kind period. I purchased my first version of microstudio around 2000, on windows 98 if i recall correctly. I write alot of custom CDG's with khpro for my shows. And use Microstudio to put them on disc. Also of course for writing backups, and custom disc that i take out to other karaoke shows that i sing at. I have even written CDG's for local entertainers using their own original recorded music. A valuable tool.

My Microstudio 4.22 writes tracks onto CD perfectly, and I have Win7 64bit. I've always been able to write onto CD even with my older computer that had XP 64bit.

Unfortunately the majority including MTU cannot write correctly yet.

Dale, yeah I feel for you. I don't understand how mine can write, but we talked about this before. I contacted Bryan on checking mine out , and he asked if I had a program, I forget which one it was, and I told him I didn't. He was thinking that maybe that particular program was enabling me to be able to write, but when I told him I didn't, that was the last time I heard from him. I'm still open to doing a remote, if it will help all my fellow MTU friends.
