I have been in the Enterprise Software industry since ‘92.
That said, the last things I want to do are 1) learn a new OS, have been on Windows since 3.1 and 2) screw around with issues on my dedicated audio computer.
In August of 2019, after months of shopping, I went with a Sweetwater Creation Station, designed for audio, with an optional ASUS TB3 port.
I use a Lynx Aurora(n) Thunderbolt.
The Creation Station was just under $3K delivered and the support has been excellent.
I have only had one issue, which turned out to be something I can avoid. I moved my studio upstairs to allow my wife to renovate the entire downstairs. During renovations, contractors accidentally shut down power, I had to pull my Thunderbolt card and reinstall. It took a while to figure this out but a UPS ensures I won’t have to do it again.
Other than that, it is quiet and cool enough for studio use, powerful and zero issues over at least 100 sessions, daily mixing and mastering.
Highly recommend both Sweetwater and Lynx for Support. They even worked together to ensure the build was right and when I ran into the TB issue above.
