So at least if my ailing old Win7 PC gives up I can still record on to computer.
A 2020 version of Magix Samplitude Music Studio is recently out, and I tried the free test evaluation option.
Much to my surprise with the Magix ASIO driver option things were quickly up and running.
Reaper and Cakewalk are still no starters though.
I tested it out for audio recording with a quick blues. A blues ballad backing track in G# from Texas Blues Alley, and the PRS SE through the Magix software Vandal SE amplifier. The playing and tone might suffer from (1) a lack of blues electric guitar practice over the last few years, (2) horribly inaccurate bends, and (3) strings on the PRS that are at least 3 years old! Plus my usual flaws!


Having got the audio working i wondered .... will MIDI and VSTs be working too? There's a lot of built in virtual instruments in the 2020 software, so I did a (thankfully) short test using these.
Think along the lines of a creepy scene in Dracula's old abandoned castle?
(May need to up the volume a bit compared to the blues recording).
