I've had Magix Samplitude software for years and it used Firewire drivers to make it go. Just upgraded my computer to W10 and am wondering if Magix has included USB support. Firewire is of course outdated and my $1000 mixer is now a boat anchor as far as a sound card interface. Anybody else use Magix on 10 ? What makes it go ? I have tons of music that I would like to be able to use. Interested in acquireing a good USB interface. Any recommendations ?

You can still get firewire cards for your computer very cheap. I put one in my machine a few years ago so I could access some of my old external hard drives. The only problem may be finding Windows 10 drivers for the mixer. I still have my old Windows XP computer I can use if I need something from an outdated format. I would look for Windows 10 drivers before I bought the firewire card to be sure that it will run the mixer.

I actually think the internal firewire circuitry in the mixer is toast. Just want to be able to get a signal from analog to Usb into Magix. If I can retain my ability to use Magix my existing file structure for midi and plug ins will still work , I think.

I bought Samplitude way back...version seven.
I regularly use Samplitude with a wee Focusrite USB interface to process vocals at my house gig.
I doubt that you will encounter issues if the drivers for your interface are current.

I have Samplitude PRO X 6 Suite.
I expect there's a demo available.
