    Window 10 does seem to deal with audio in a better way. It locates streams quicker. I've not had one buffer error since loading Win 10 and pro tools 12.3

    Might just be something to do with the new Kernel Microsoft created for Windows 10 perhaps, I do remember reading somewhere that they did implement a new Kernel in one of their latest OSes.



    I've got a good basic mix of the track I'm working on, just needs a bit more work on it to fine tune the arrangement, maybe add some more elements and then it'll be ready to upload to soundcloud.

    They also hired a consultant to advise them on audio which has helped immensely

    That was definitely a good move on their part, their new CEO Satya Nadella has certainly steered Microsoft in the right direction.

    It may be worth while to consider the guitar/bass to be used with the interface if anyone is looking at the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. There are some reports of this interface having issues with high output pickups if being used directly. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 has a pad switch which apparently resolves the issue. I do not have any experience with either unit, just thought I'd put it out there.
    Black is my happy colour

    I agree JT with my Bartolini the bass pickups output is too high for the Scarlett but I go into DI box that sorts it out. That kind of sensitivity is also a bonus when you have guitars or basses that have very low output pickups. I also think that's what can also give you that overdriven pre amp sound we sometimes need and love when we record. I love the Halo lights around the gain control that flash red,whenever you go over level a great visual aid. I use the Scarlett 2i2 whenever I travel or just practicing or songwriting with the iPad. It's the reason I bought it as the preamps sound great with anything you throw at it vocals bass, guitars keyboards even recording acoustic instruments it's great for the price. Focusrite do make amazing mic pres. But remember when you record in the digital domain, don't let those meters slam into the red. Best recordings are kept in the 3/4 of the green LEDS

    Kels had another recommendation the Novation Audiobus 2x4 has additional usb sockets for midi controllers and foot pedals.
    I believe it was made by focusrite for Novation so again great preamps.http://youtu.be/amnaC5K-EaQ Cost about $199 AUS

    Oh yeah forgot to reply haha! As a band we managed to buy one, we will give it a rip next Sunday after the others finish their exams and I'll see if I can throw up photos and demos too!

    Also taking a look at that Audiobus now KB, there's too many decent starting points for a personal home studio it's crazy! Hopefully I can have a nice setup when I finish year 12 so I can have some experience heading into my Audio Production course
