Windows DP9 Stability

Post by shaymehrdad »

Hi. Just want to know if DP9 is fairly stable for most of you guys working in Windows 10. I'm a Mac user that switches between Logic and DP on an iMac but I'm looking into picking up a Windows laptop to save a few bucks and because I'm underwhelmed by the new Macbook Pros. I figure a Windows laptop would do fine for remote recording/composing and I could transfer files when needed, but I just want to be sure DP is capable and in a better spot than when first introduced years ago. I'd also like to avoid shelling out for Cubase/Sonar/Studio One/etc since I already have a DP license. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have never experienced a crash or interruption of my work. Good (industry standard) latency with 9.1.2. Some bugs exist, but they do not affect me.

If you use a Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S-series keyboard, you will need to stay in multi-record mode to get around DP leaving ALL ports exposed.

Otherwise, all good here.
