So far the only problem I've had is with the 3D viewer. Other than that it has been working perfectly.

Hi there, FreeStyler does indeed work with Vista, but there's one major problem when using Sound-to-Light. Apparently due to the complex Windows Vista driver archicture is takes very long to process an incomine audio signal. The result is a delay of one second. I noticed that two months ago when I set up my new laptop. I thought it was a crappy onboard sound card, but it works well under Windows XP. Somebody asked about the delay somewhere here and the answer was like it's not important and this issue with Freestyle should be ignored. Still, I think it sucks a lot when your fixture react too late to the music, especially when using chasers via DMX-400.

I hope the the new version improves or eliminates the latency under Vista.
