Windows 10 - Focusrite - Buncha Stuff - Help!

Alright, so I was previously running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) and had a myriad of hardware failures so I bit the bullet and just built a new rig.

Advice Please

I am a long term user of cakewalk going all the way back to Cakewalk 2 or 3 when it was MIDI only.

DAW Desk Recommendation?

I'm in the process of upgrading my studio and am looking for a new DAW desk. Thing is, most of the desks I see on the market are HUGE, and I have a very limited space in my studio for one, due to how the room is configured.Here are my DAW desk requirements: 1) No more than 40" wide2) Raised area for..
