what are you waiting for?

[VariKusBrainZ]

My slightly revised OP:

I am waiting for Windows 10 as it will introduce additional multi-touch features for the apps. My new Music strategy is to plan my software and hardware to take advantage of multi-touch work flow for the DAW’s and VST’s and VSTi’s. The two leading DAW’s for multi-touch are Sonar and FL Studio.

But if the programs arent coded for multi touch there will be no difference under Win10, just the same as it is with Win7 and 8.

'Apps' only run under Metro, excluding you from the 'desktop' programs most DAWs and plugins are made for

1. Yes if I understand you correctly, if applications are not coded for multi-touch they will not be multi-touch capable regardless if they run in Windows 7, 8 or 10. I am hoping that the additional support featured in Windows 10 may invite developers to release programs with multi-touch capability.

2. Let me understand this more clearly.
The new Audulus that runs as a VSTi or stand-alone in windows needs to run under Metro. What ever Metro means. I always thought the apps, applications and programs such as DAW's and VST's were the same thing. Please explain to me the situation as I believe I have the wrong picture of how things are.

A good sale on Vertigo VSC-2. I thought for sure it'd be on PA's Advent calendar, but alas it was not to be this year.

[V0RT3X]

A synthesizer like Bazille that uses wavetable scanning synthesis.

The OP started on July 2012 and I like to revive it every year just to see if it was worth waiting for the dream software or hardware. Some of the items that I was waiting for were released to my delight. Others like Komplete 9 and 10 were disappointing. I removed some items because I lost interest in them or they would no longer be useful to my music creativity or workflow.
