Surface Pro 2017 audio performance and reliability for music production

Описание: How many plugins and VST instruments can the Surface Pro 2017 handle? I've run exhaustive tests of many different DAWs with many different plug-ins and can now offer a demonstration of the Surface Pro's potential for music production. IT's GOOD! I'll also show the thermal and CPU stability issues I encountered and how to solve them. Throughout the Surface Pro 2017 has been a reliable and capable platform - is it good enough for what you want? You'll find out in the video.

It's a long video because I had to deal with many aspects of performance testing and deal with thermal and stability issues which were important to spend time on. I've split it up into chapters and highlights below if you want to dive straight into the part that interests you. But I'd recommend watching the whole thing to get the whole picture. Comments are always welcome!
