    Alex - Don't get me wrong - I'm not a great fan of windows!!
    I just saw the tech's on Vista - and the WaveRT and MMCSS is a major improvement in my opinion.

    But that said - if there where Sonar and VSL Linux versions (together with
    all the other stuff I use) - I'd propably leave windows at once and never look back.


    Lol.

    Bjorne, i didn't think you were a fan of windows, so don't worry, your respectability is intact!

    I agree with your second point though, not only for Sonar or VSL, but other programs too, and i wouldn't look back, anymore than you would.
    I wonder if there are developers out there who would like a more mainstream version of linux, so they can write better code without the restrictions of MS or Apple.

    Alex, I wouldn't say that I'm more knowledgeable about anything! However, there are a lot of scare stories about Vista floating around, and in many cases there is actually no difference from XP (or even OSX). I certainly agree that the people who may suffer are most likely to be the ones who like to change the hardware regularly, although I believe that MS has made a few concessions in this regard, compared with their original intentions. However, I have no desire to re-build my PC once it is running to my satisfaction, so this is unlikely to affect me.

    I also like the idea of a slimmed down OS, and still miss using my trusty Acorn, where the OS was in ROM, but as bloating the OS seems to have become the norm these days, I will settle for just being able to use the PC without having to think about the OS.

    I guess that I'm old fashioned as well. [:D]

    DG


    Daryl, you're not the only one that misses older kit. I still regret getting rid of the fairlight!
    Yes, a slimmed down os seems to be an almost ideal scenario for us, with resource focused on the basics, instead of consumer crap.
    Can't see it happening...... [[:|]]

    Regards,

    Alex.

    but I also have heard that as it "learns" from your workflow
    this is an exaggerated wording for a simple feature ... move often used files into the fastest region of your harddisk ... same as OS X does on system drives which are formatted HFS+ journaled

    i personally would be a little bit cautious regarding waveRT - they understand *streaming audio* as receiving (continuous) audio streams from a server-source and not in the sense of sample-streaming, i doubt it will be more performant than ASIO

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    With my limited computer intellect Christian, i understand this as waveRT developing and working based on continual stream, rather than the stop start mechanism of multiple sample streaming.

    Is this correct?

    Is this the new direction of computing?

    LOL - seems someone was pretty bored ...

    waveRT - that's exactly how i understood the papers
    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Wow Alex, that is fantastic. I am going to stare at this for the rest of today. This is what we should really be doing with computers.

    Do you know what it say's in Russian?

    Cm, Alex - you maybe right about the streaming which mostly will benefit recorded tracks - but I think (hope? [[;)]] ) there will be a performance gain in the sample area as well.
    If I understand it correctly, the WaveRT operates without changing to kernel mode at each I/O request - as opposed to current portdrivers.

    But then again, I'm not sure how the ASIO is operating - might do just as good.

    lol, i kjnew someone was going to ask me.

    Roughly translated, it says:

    'At last! Someone managed to present the thinking process of women in simple and clear form.'

    But then this is from a nation that goes by the adage:

    'Thinking decorates a woman...."

    And don't shoot me you ladies out there, i'm only the translator.. [[[:|]]]
