I read that Windows 10 had some changes to it's audio processing stack, which allegedly would cause a massive improvement in audio application latency right off the bat without them even being optimised for Windows 10. I'm taking a break from gigs at the moment so had plenty of time to recover to 8.1 if it all went Pete Tong.
Been hammering it now for hours, unbelievable improvement on my i5 Lenovo. Not one pop or crackle, no flickering tracklists, the load meter and even the program itself runs smoother than it did on 8.1. Just running it with my X1 at the moment, going to give I a full run through with the S4 and timecodes tomorrow, but at present I've got two track decks and 8 remix channels going through 4 FX banks with Maschine in the background and it's running fine.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say that not only has the latency decreased, but the CPU load has decreased as well. On 8.1 Maschine would lag up every so often but so far it's not had a single hiccup.
Genuinely, well done Microsoft.
