Audio drops Model 12 HELP

[Mark Richards]

A forum Search on "windows audio" turned up 7 pages of threads & posts addressing various issues involving interfacing Windows and the Model series of mixers, a few of which involved trying to use the mixers in ways for which they weren't optimally designed. Some got resolved through fixes, work-a-rounds, or system tweaks; others didn't get resolved at all. Windows also has problems at times co-existing with D.A.W. software.

That's what happens when the C Suite suits think it's a great idea to increase market share by turning an operating system designed from the get go for business applications into something cobbled together to compete with an operating system designed from the ground up as a creative tool, and comes in second best.

I don't own any of the Model series, and don't want or need to, so all this is interesting to read but of no relevance to me.

This is, without a doubt, the best-written summary I’ve read on why not to use Windows as an operating system for audio engineering stuff.

I applaud your command of language and restraint. Thanks man.

AGREED!!!
I learned this the hard way over 20 yrs ago...which is what turned me to basically old-school/hardware-focused studio methods. Never goin' back!

And not even a close second...
