Antares software should work fine with Windows 7. Be aware that there is a special installation method for the 64 bit version of Win7 that utilizes the fact that Antares currently has only 32bit releases of their software.

Bottom line is, you should be fine upgrading your system.

All of the current Antares Software should work fine on Windows 7. If you're host is crashing, look at the crash log and see where the problem is rooting from. If you're computer specs aren't at least the minimum requirement for Harmony EFX then you're likely to overload your system and cause it to crash.

I currently have Windows 7 64bit.. SOnar 8.3 producer.. and Antares Vocal studio (which is all over the plugins) And I can be first to say the plugins "don't work" I think out of like 6 hours of install/uninstall disk defragment, reinstall, driver relocation etc.. I managed to get 2 to work at most..

First during install.. you gets errors saying installer is not compatble with Windows 7 and when loading sonar usually when you do your vst scan when it gets to the antares folder it freezes and crashes out. When you finally cntl passed the scan, you'll still see your plugins in the vst folder but when you go to load one it just says "vst or .dll did not install properly" and leave you with a pretty "F-U pop up window"

So for anyone else wondering.. I have a top of the line system.. 8 gigs of ram geforce 9800gtx video card etc.. you get the idea.. andthe plugins won't even install.. let alone scan or load in Sonar 8.. so take with it what you will.. but it's compelte BS.. seeing how the Vocla Studio BUndle Costs over $600!..

Which version of the Auto-Tune Vocal studio are you running (the legacy one with AVOX 2 or the current one with AVOX Evo)? Are you installing off the CD of through the download site where the latest updates are available?

If you are trying to install the version with AVOX 2, you can find the download for the installer here: http://www.antarestech.com/download/update2.shtml

Auto Tune Evo and AVOX Evo can be found here: http://www.antarestech.com/download/update.shtml

Also, make sure you have the latest iLok driver installed:
