The very original reason I joined this forum was because I found my 2003 Home Studio audio tracks were randomly in the wrong place. I had been using a MD 8 digital recorder and an Atari which gave me rock solid timing between the sequences and the audio. But I knew that equipment was becoming dated and looking to use a DAW, so I dove in head first. I had Cakewalk HS which came with my Roland Sound Canvas.
The forum soon pointed out the fact that my Creative Audigy II interface ASIO driver was the issue. Someone here told me about the loop back test and that was exactly what I found. Not only were my tracks out of sync,, it kept changing. They also drifted over time. This my friends is 100% audio driver related, that was 13 years ago and XP 32 bit.
I bought an M Audio Fast Track pro interface and the problem was solved.
So even though WASPI might "work" and reported latency will go down, don't trust it until you run this test, I didn't do the second test which is to loop back 3 minutes of audio and check the drift over time.. that's yet another issue that develops when using so, so audio drivers.
It will be good news if WASPI under Windows 10 is as "good" as using ASIO, in theory why not?
But myself I will be sceptical until I get a solid report from this test.
Brundlefly's results under W10 are what I'm talking about.
Most newbies to audio might not even notice the bad timing and certainly if your not recording audio it won't matter at all. We will be able to at least do some editing and midi work on our laptops while out and about, that's good stuff.
The results may depend on which on board sound card is involved,, a shoot out between Real Tech an others.
