My RME's were great. Just not the right amount of line outs vs. Apollo. Fortunately, my ASUS i9-10900K mobo uses an ASUS addon TB3 card. The mobo is Win 11 compatible. So my Win 11 upgrade will be painless when I do it. Seems like I finally did something right.
I have no problems with all my DAWs except one niggle in ProTools. PT will not operate for me with my interface (Apollo) buffers over 1024. All the others work perfectly at 2048.
I can say without reservation that all my DAW products (CbB, Studio One, Reason, Bitwig, Cubase, Digital Performer, Mixbus/Mixbus 32C, Reaper and ProTools) have pluses and minuses of somewhat eqaul measure (just not the same ones). Each one has its use for me and I use them when I need to.
@cclarry or anyone, I already have a discounted yearly MEGA XXL ($199), can I purchase another now at the yearly $249 now and it be the successor to my current Mega XXL?
