Software vs hardware in music production and live performing - VST

In this presentation I will continue the topic about software and hardware in music production. We will compare both live performance scenario and studio production with many aspects like sound engine and MIDI Edition

In details you can find here:
- Why software sound engines are problematic in real time live performance
- How CPU affect latency and how to avoid it
- What is the reason for VST crash or shoud dropouts
- Is using PC or Mac good idea for home music production
- The definition of live performance
- Looping audio vs looping MIDI data - what is the difference
- Pitch shifting as way of tone generation from sample WAV
- Is there are alternatives to produce music without computer
- How to become DAWLess
- What should I buy to start making music
- What should I buy to playing live sets
