Sorry, let me be more clear. I both updated and upgraded.My old computer died, an upgrade meant I bought a computer that actually worked. A lot of my gear (like my ART USB preamp) is plug and play.Since the midi interface didn't work, I assumed the problem was either Windows 8 or the AN1X. I forgot the Uno needed drivers, since I lasted installed drivers many years ago on my since deceased laptop. So the updating was actually installing drivers that work for Windows 8 on my new computer.
And for that, I thank the folks on this discussion group. Also thank you for the reminder to keep up with the updates on the OS for security reasons. I have some sort of happy automated thingie that reminds me to do that.
Someday I will have a computer just for recording, and I will no longer mix down on headphones..
Thanks again
Jimmy
