Windows 10 and Sonar Plat = Fantastic combo. Thanks for this awesome update Cake. Loving the experience so far. Things just feel smoother and somewhat faster to me. Definitely very stable. One thing though and this might be a little premature. Latency while not a problem doesn't seem to be any different than it was in Win 7. Are there any settings I need to be aware of in order to see a difference? Like I said it's not a problem. My current settings are 64 samples/1.5ms. It's just that I'm always looking to make things better and get the most out of my gear.
 
Thanks again Cakewalk!!

Thanks!
I really appreciate your focus on the core performance and "issues" (as you call them) in this Sonar update.  The improvement in the Template page is quite useful, however, the improvements around fixing known issues are the most important to many of us (although probably the least exciting to your Marketing Dept.). 
 
Cheers,

Worked on attempt number three ...

I must be lucky!  I logged off then logged on and upgraded on the first attempt.

I upgraded to windows 10, everything is working perfectly fine. Howeve, where do i get the gloucester update? its not showing in my command center. still says im on foxboro update 1. 
 
I retract this statement, it finally appeared now for update.

I believe you won't notice an improvement with latency if you're using ASIO, it's already talking to the system on a low level. The improvement will be with the standard Windows drivers.

To clarify, the improvements are that you can run slightly heavier loads at low latency than Win 10. You won't get lower latency itself. If you are using ASIO the difference may be more subtle. See our benchmarks on the Cakewalk blog for more info. This third party benchmark from PC Audio Labs is also useful.
 

Hmmm....I updated from Windows 7 to 10 this morning.  Just updated to Gloucester just a moment ago and now Sonar stops on the splash screen and I get the message sonarplt.exe has stopped.  Thoughts?
 
Just did a reinstall and the same thing...

Above is your problem. This is a windows system file.
First thing I would do is reinstall your audio driver (latest firmware + driver), and if no joy reinstall Sonar.
 
No dice? Then dump this thread and jump onto this thread with your system specs:

You are the MAN!  Updated the RME to the most recent driver and it fired right up.
 
Thanks!
