What will Vista do to music making hard/software?

some scary stuff

Degraded sound and video? Extra processing overhead for encryption and device polling? The ability to REVOKE hardware drivers?!

...the fuck...?!

other than the above text file you linked to, be prepared for a sound software marketing scam upgrade nightmare.

meaning that all music making software companies will repackage stuff like Cubase 4, Sonar and just release a new whole number version upgrade for no reason just to make it compatible with vista

Hello Linux.

to be honest, i still run windows 2000 on my music compy. i am in no hurry to give microsoft any more money, either.

consumers will have the last laugh, as eventually they will stop this DRM crap and cry about all the $$$ they wasted.

edit: does anyone else think microsoft vs. apple is going to be like ps3 vs. wii this round?

Doubt it. Microsoft has much more of a stranglehold on the OS industry than PS2 has a stranglehold on the games industry.

really it wont do anything to music.

i should write a letter to LEENUS TORVALDS and tell him now is the time for lunix to cut the nuts off of the for-profit OS industry

Jesus christ Fleetmouse you're everywhere.

Well Buzz might work even lousier than in XP. Been already training with Ubuntu but music stuff still sucks with it.

I read that the way it syncs with hardware is much improved but it used a lot more resources. So in reality you'll probably see a better latency but your sessions will run out of memory quicker.

same thing XP did? (nothing)

honestly that statistic doesnt mean much unless he tells us what VSTs or plugins hes running

I honestly, get 1ms of latency right now in XP Home, with Renoise + SubDuer + Minimogue + 4 copies of MpReverb @ excellent quality + Renoise Line-In device feeding realtime audio from my Nord Modular and Kawai K5000s, plus running effects on the line in stuff. I could go better, but the M-Audio control panel won't let me go to less than 64 samples of buffer.

Latency is old skool!

Your latency has nothing to do with your OS.
