1) KMixer can be problematic if you're looking for bitperfect or low latency output, it can be useful in other situations (which I won't go into). However it's easily avoidable using ASIO. I use a Windows box in my music (production) rig and get very low latency, multi-channel, bit perfect audio just fine. But as has been correctly stated, KMixer is irrelevant if you're not actually an audio device to the OS.
2) My Macs take more of my time (and are more frequently rebooted) than my XP server, which was last restarted to install SP3 a couple of weeks ago. Co-incidentally the Macs got 10.5.3 last night (another reboot). Regardless, if you're updating an OS in the middle of a party you need to get your priorities straight :) 3) I've heard that SC runs faster on Linux, and I'm happy to believe it, but it runs fine on XP for me. As for OSX, I've seen what seem to be a disproportionate number of OSX/SC issues around the forum recently - it wouldn't be my first choice for that reason, although I'm sure it runs fine in most cases. Short answer - pick whichever OS you like, SC runs fine on all of them. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48214 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
