Hello everyone. I’ve had my Fireface 800 since introduced many years ago. I’ve also been a Cubase user since it was just a midi program while producing small time commercials.
I love the silkyness of my FF800 but RME has not created an updated driver for Windows 8. Is there a sound workaround for this issue? I welcome any advise anyone can offer. Thanks you guys.
It’s never a good idea to just jump to new operating systems or even software that’s on the bleeding edge. I personally will be sticking with windows 7 for a long time and have since uninstalled C7 and will be staying with 6.5 until Steinberg makes it functional again. My advice is to set up a dual boot and use W7. Also, I’m a proud FF800 owner…its never let me down.
Thank you droutloaf for your advice. It makes alot of sense to keep what I have including W7. My system is very stable really don’t want to interupt my workflow right now.
Hi there are work-a-rounds for windows 8, namely the legacy firewire driver, it’s a hassle but it should work (worked for my focusrite safire pro 26 io). Try the RME forum there is the workaround! (Motu forum has also this solution available)
