Windows 7 should offer better performance for digital audio than Vista.Ī Windows XP PC, that is. Both of them used Nuendo from Steinberg (which is basically the upmarket version of Cubase) as their primary digital audio workstation (DAW), and they ran it on a Windows PC.

In late 2007 I took an introductory audio production class taught by David Huber (who wrote one of the bibles on the subject, "Modern Recording Techniques") and Scott Colburn (who has produced albums by The Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, and Sun City Girls, among many others). But there are Windows loyalists out there.


Most of the audio engineers I've met-both home and professional-are Mac people, and Avid's ProTools running on a Mac is often cited as the industry standard.
