Hey James!
I think I write better in the original forum at linuxmusicians (although I do not use Linux as I originally thought).
I don't want to further "pollute" this Linux thread here with my Win10 considerations...
So... See you at:
https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic...7cb90&start=90
I think I will update the thread at linuxmisicians in the coming days/weeks, since the test phase of the DAW workstation is now done.
It means that I will reinstall Win10 on a new M2 SSD and activate it. And reinstall everything: drivers, progs, plugins...
At this point, it could be interesting to write everything down (install order, type of drivers, settings...).
I'm more and more thinking that all the clicks/pops I had in Win10 were related to bad drivers (SATA or so). I've made a Win10 reinstall and tweaked the UEFI/BIOS like for a Mac install.
And then, all glitches were gone.
