Interesting. What audio interface do you use?

I guess with win 10 running one should avoid watching start trek episodes where self destruct sequence orders are given vocally,or shutting down vital, or non vital systems....Just so things don't blow up...and the ship's Sonar guidance system keeps things on course to Eden's bliss...lol

Yes, Sonar will in fact be 100% compatible the moment that Windows 10 is released, and you can quote me on that. I may be wrong but you may still quote me.


That was very funny. Very nice.  Thank you.

Is there any benefit to running windows 10 for us using the audio. Returning the start menu is nice and all but I will wait and see if there is more improvement before I upgrade.
 
Also there are the rumors that it it moving to a subscription license. The sites I just looked up have said otherwise but I will wait and see.

It's going to a free upgrade in perpetuity for non-enterprise use. So basically the same as Mac OSX.

Thinking about it, there could be some added value services here that operators of professional studios could offer
their clients, so differentiating them from the competition:
 
"Before you guys leave, I should bundle up; there's going to be a cold front moving in soon."
"Oh, and in case the copious amounts of Jack Daniels you just consumed in the session is still working, your car is the tan one over on the right just as you go out."



I think you win.. Love the idea ha.

MS has a team focusing on Pro Audio for Windows 10. They have already fixed some old audio and midi related bugs and tightened up midi timing. They are also working on ultra-low latencies with audio but the new code hasn't yet been added to the Windows 10 Consumer Tech Preview. Supposedly within a couple months the code will be added to the latest build. Some MS employees are at NAMM this year talking with Pro Audio manufacturers like UAD and seem happy to work with MS. So good news for Windows 10 and Pro Audio crowd.

Sorry everybody but I'm sticking with Windows 7 and Sonar X3. This is a combo that works well for me with my hardware and many software programs. I don't use Sonar that much so spending the extra money just isn't worth it to me at this time. Upgrading to Windows 10 might turn into a nightmare for me with hardware problems and software incompatibilities. It's just not worth the headaches.
