Bryan If I may if anyone uses jfw 11, make sure to use the latest update, and not just the cd. Earlier versionbs of 11 ate authorizations like crazy acording to jfw support and i surely expericneced it here, <smile. now those days are over <smile>

8.5 is definitely better for audio people than 8.3. Besides the additional 64-bit combination effects that come with Sonar 8.5, AudioSnap is far more stable than it used to be.

The key to having a good experience with CakeTalking is to be sure to use only the software version combinations that have been tested. Due to slight differences with how different versions of Jaws behave, and, in some cases, bugs that CakeTalking must work around, CakeTalking is highly sensitive to changes in the Jaws version, in particular. I'm not saying that it isn't possible to use CakeTalking 8.5 with Jaws 10 on Windows 7, but, if you do, you may find gotchas where CakeTalking is sluggish, where certain commands are slow or don't work at all, or where incorrect information is reported.

For CakeTalking 8.3 and 8.5 users, Jaws 11 is suggested on all versions of Windows. Again, you could use Jaws versions as old as 10 on Windows 7, Jaws 8 on Vista, and Jaws 7.1 on XP, but you really should use 11. Jaws 11 has been extensively tested with CT, and is known to work well (that is, we account for all of the qwerks in Jaws 11 :)).
