What's gonna happen to our plugins when Windows 8 launches?

Driver latency is drastically increased on Win 8. You can see this by running DPC Latency checker on a PC running Win 7 and then on the same PC after upgrading to Win 8. It is said that this is indeed due to some power saving features which do not appear to be user-configurable.4damind wrote:Runs without problems. There has nothing changed which could break some audio/plug-in compatibility. Something was changed for better energy efficiency, so people expect a very bad latency. But this seems not to be true (if we believe the Cakewalk tests).
Cannot see a problem or a show stopper to use Win8. Upgrade is cheap and it's seems it can be updated directly from a running Win 7. This would for me the most important thing to wait or not.
Do note that this does not necessarily translate to actual DAW latency. But the driver latency is real; I've seen it not only in my own tests with my personal PCs but in several driver labs where I work. It's kind of insane.
There have been one or two DAW tests that seem to show that these weird changes do not harm DAW performance, but I haven't seen anything about Live or Cubase, which I use.
All of the above aside, I like using a mouse, and because of this I don't think I'll be upgrading any of my systems to Windows 8 ever.

Some other reports say that DPC Latency checker is not really giving the right results on W8, due to these power saving features.....
Guess we'll have to wait and see.
I'm still running XP, but now getting into some 'will not run on XP' issues with new software. So I want to upgrade soon, but comparing the XP to W8 upgrade, announced at $40, to the current W7 price, I skip W7. That XP to W7 upgrade price of $ 120 seems quite out of range now with the cheaper W8 just months away.
Guess the cheaper upgrade price is to attract many more to leave XP, so MS can quit XP support.

midi has to be "supported"?...what does it mean (at least... in a planet earth language)?...

MIDI + Windows 8
Non-Intel Windows tablets (i.e. those with ARM processors) will not support the MIDI API.

Metro - as a name for the block-style interface - is kaput now. MS reckons it was a code name but some suggest it was to avoid litigation.

Well it's because DPC latency checker isn't giving you numbers that directly correlate with DAW performance.Albert.VST wrote:Some other reports say that DPC Latency checker is not really giving the right results on W8, due to these power saving features.....

My company makes many devices that run on Windows platforms and Win 8 is definitely different. It seems to be more command & control stuff that's affected, not necessarily basic device functionality.

I won't worry about about it.Everythings working great on Windows 7.
Best to leave 8 well alone until it's well established.

so this means the 'pro' version of 'tablet' should be good for musicians.
vst/guis should start getting ready for multi-touch support
it's not coming out 'till Christmas so they have time
no need for "apps" to control software
you could use it directly provided it supports fullscreen mode and multitouch input

Who the f**k makes real music on a tablet or iphone anyway. That is just one big worktime void/ lunchtime filler little gag anyway. Like this bunch of stylish mixes 'done in ableton at a starbucks' on Resident Advisor lately. Way to kill the craft.

If you mean the posers on stage with ipad, or the so-called "ipad synths", ok you are right. But a tablet running vst would be very comfortable for composition.twilitez wrote:Who the f**k makes real music on a tablet or iphone anyway.
