Windows 10 DAW Woes

[Marc Nostromo [M-.-n]]

Hi Declan,

These days Asio4all not really cutting it anymore. You really need good
native asio driver to do anything decent.
Usually crackles on windows are related to interrupts taking over, a
classic being the wifi driver. Also make sure your system is set to high
performance.
You should use latency monitor to debug your system, and possibly get a
good solid brand like rme if it fails.
Generally, see this, it should be fairly up to date:

Hope this helps
Marc
PS: I'm not really closely following the bar (shame on me). Feel free to
ping my mail if you've got specific questions.
