Surface Pro 6 Audio Performance Testing

A deep dive into the music production performance and capabilities of the Microsoft Surface Pro 6. I’ll be testing plug-in counts on multi-track audio, VSTi virtual instruments, polyphony and live performance. I’ll be using Cubase 10, Ableton Live 10, Studio One 4 and instruments from Arturia, Native Instruments, Tracktion and Serum. The audio interface is the NI Komplete Audio 2. And the Surface Pro 6 is the i5, 8GB with 256GB drive.
