Few huge nits. Couple footprint problems. Decided to go back to 7 after less than 48 hours, and it says it can't because some files that were necessary were deleted...???
I didn't delete anything.
The whole "Going back is easy and you can do it at any time." thing is a complete lie. Has to be done withing 30 days, and obviously, there was never an intention to let you go back.
I'll see if I can restore 7 on my days off.
I mean, I've got an 8 core AMD with 10Gig of memory, and all of a sudden all my music won't play because the systems too slow? That's a bit of a footprint problem. I have two SSDs, one for sound files (sound banks, sound fonts, etc) and one that only has my "Documents" folder. Worked great under 7. The system literally lets Reason read from one SSD and write to another, should be flawlessly fast. I realize that the multi-core support only uses two cores...don't know why they didn't allow more...but it should still not have a problem there with 8 to choose from. Tested my memory yesterday and found no faults. Only thing I can think of is possibly the driver for the 1800 is not up to snuff. Everything works, but I can't get more than 30 seconds out of Reason before it says my system is too slow. Used to get that problem if I ran 30+ tracks with lots of EQ and compressors, but I'm even trying to run songs that were never a problem and it dumps...
AFA nits, I don't like a log-in screen. My studio computer had/has a slow boot drive and it takes a minute to get up to speed. Since my internet computer trashed, I need this one to pull double duty, so it takes a while to boot. I want to turn on my computer and come back a few minutes later and find my desktop waiting. No passwords. No login. No hit enter to start. Personal thing, but I can't make 10 do that. It's a modified HP, but installing an SSD as a boot drive on an HP was a challenge, so I just started turning the computer on, making coffee, and coming back.
Ten also is locking up on occasion when it starts. I'll come back after my few minutes and find a cursor flashing on the screen. Turn off, start over.
So, yeah. It's possible, since the US-1800 isn't on the list, but was reported to work with 10, that I could have a driver issue. It plays music fine, but won't let Reason do it's thing, which might mean I need to look at finding an upgrade for Reason to work better with 10. AFA compatibility, I just want my desktop to be there when I walk in the room with my coffee. Doesn't seem too much to ask, so maybe I'm incompatible with Windows 10.
EDIT:
Oh, yeah. The other nit. Stupid blackout screen while I'm sitting reading. Anyone know how to shut that off? Takes me back to the login screen. That's a big FAIL from me, Microsoft!
