They talked a lot about ink flow and zero lag in CAD software but it’s impossible to know how well this can be translated to audio latency and virtual instruments.
I MAC MUSIC STUDIO DRIVERS
Might be fun but without access to ASIO audio drivers the experience will be laggy and limited.
I MAC MUSIC STUDIO WINDOWS 10
I don’t really want to hear about Windows 10 Apps – there was a glimpse of something called Groove Music Maker in the presentation that looks like an App – no good.
I MAC MUSIC STUDIO PRO
Cubase and Pro Tools can both be readily accessed with single touch and the digital pen. FL Studio and Bitwig Studio being the best at the moment. There’s a fair bit of multi-touch-enhanced music software out there now. However, to make this work requires two critical things – software and hardware. You wouldn’t create music on an instrument with a single finger – I couldn’t play guitar with one form of input – why should we accept the same on the device we create the most on. When working with my Surface Pro 4 I feel so released, so enabled to do so much more that I can very quickly get frustrated with non-touch software in how it slows me down. Once you pick up the digital pen – once you start using your fingers your workflow evolves from a passive, sat back mouse driven experience to an active, involved flowing experience.Ĭhannelling all your creativity to that narrow point of a mouses optical sensor seems completely bonkers – we’ve come to accept it so much that we don’t even notice how restricting it is anymore. I’ve been banging on about this since the Surface Pro 3. What is does is brings the Surface immersive experience and workflow to the desktop. The Surface Studio brings better processing and a better looking screen to the party. The form factor is awesome, the convenience and the power is enough to run a decent amount of audio software and processing. The iMac is arguably one of the most common project music production studio platforms – you see it all over the place.
The Surface Studio just made the iMac obsolete.
But was there anything there for us hard done by musicians? Well no, but there could be (I’ve also made a video that expands on these thoughts expressed in this article which you’ll find below). The focus was quite clearly on drawing, on making art, on working in visual mediums moving from 2D to 3D to augmented and then virtual realities – it all looks like a load of fun. And a lot of quite stunning creative updates to Windows 10. Instead what we got was the only slightly leaked Surface Studio. There had been lots of rumours about the Surface Pro 5, Surface Book 2, Surface Phone but none of those appeared.
