Tidbit toward audio performance ...

Just one thing I've found in my little corner of the world:  disabling my CD/DVD device on two of my music computers has dropped latency and dumb stuff dramaticaly.  

Although I will say that it was only Cake/Sonar that manifested the problems.  Latency Monitor helped show the situation.  That situation did not seem to make Sequoia, Nuendo or Reaper fail.  Just our baby.

Yea wish i had some words of encouragement. For what it's worth, i've never heard of anyone (actually ever) disabling their cd/dvd player to improve latency.

Is your audio interface bus powered ? or plug in (AC) ?

I actually like what Reaper has to offer (especially in its way to manipulate audio speed). But i find Cakewalk with more features and easier to use. for what i do anyway (typical project is 30 audio tracks/5 midi tracks/50+ plug ins/Region FX). I've had good results in both DAW's (Cakewalk+Reaper). I switched to Reaper for a while when Cakewalk went down. But came back as soon as Cakewalk did. I have an Intel I7 AsRock mobo, 16 GB of ram. Nothing crazy. And a 1st gen Focusrite Scarlett (actually I've never even updated the drivers before LOL).

Great ideas, all.  It creates "NTOSKernel" (or close, my spelling and caps may be wrong) in the top 3 list of resource burdens in LatMon.  The other two are, of course, NVIDIA resources.  Wish I had another brand of vid card, frankly.
