![]() No worries with malware or updates…Įvery time I try something with audio on Windows I end up asking myself why people keep supporting this kind of torture. I do use Windows, but not for audio and in a one-time-use virtual machine. Still, Linux, BSD and OSX have these drivers and they work fine. I can understand that partly, because the USB2 audio class is a mess. The older Alesis Multimix and I/O range are going out the window, because MS decided not to include a USB2 audio class compliant driver in Windows 10. And it is always nice if older gear still works after 10 years.Īnother example: Alesis. Pro’s tend to buy the expensive ones, so they need 2-4 years to amortize that gear. For Windows they have been promised since november last year, but haven’t surfaced yet, because developers are unable to make one driver work on Win 7 tot Win 10. To take Tascam as an example: drivers for their older gear are still available for OSX. If Microsoft would decide to wipe the slate clean and start over, there would be a hell of a lot of applause from the makers and users of DAW’s and audio hardware. And these limitations are all there just to overcome some error of the past. ![]() The fact that nobody seems to understand the differences makes for a lot of confusion a pro doesn’t need. Having several different audio systems seems like a waste to me.
