All I use is XP, On one right now... Have over a dozen XP machines & one windows 10 64bit ASUS Transformer which a neighbor was throwing away, I changed battery & got a power supply note that I would never BUY a windows 10 or 11 machine nothing but spyware...
A couple days ago installed a Fruity 1.7.6 TS-404, only 10 MB total size installed, ticking 'surround' box in wave options sound is quite good then... This surround option not in later versions... Some nice tunes in there too, better than what I hear from alot nowadays... There's one called 'Syneideses' by Andrew Kelly I rendered out to add to my listening library...
Doing tests of many old DAWs using a HiQ SF2 playing two 8-note chords with plenty of phaser & delay found old Reason 3 clear winner in low CPU actually would not register until I went back in NN-XT & ramped up Filters on modwheel THEN it popped up to 1.56% CPU...
Folks they don't make 'em like that anymore, Lke SUVs DAWs nowadays all look the same, Consume mass amounts of resources, They can't run on older systems (except for Reaper which runs on XP still & you can STILL use DX-DXi in it) and most aren't making better music then back in the day they are just piling on more FX which isn't actual music it's soundFX design...
