Thanks for that response, Pete!
Awesome. That is good to hear!
Yes, I knew about Steinberg working on it, but not how far they had come, so quickly (considering the massive size of the codebase), with such effective results, and with such low latency! That is a BIG deal IMO. Wow!
For Windows on ARM to take off for creatives, you obviously need the big apps, and especially for musicians, you need low latencies, and it looks like you’re accomplishing that. Bravo!
And I also didn’t know the blocking issues of ASIO on ARM, but it makes sense now. Thank you for explaining that.
I can’t overstate how BIG of a deal this whole thing is, and I don’t think a lot of Steinberg users may realize it until after the fact, well into 2025 and probably not until 2026 and beyond.
One side note to all of this, is that I think it shows that Steinberg’s “old bloated codebase” (according to a few serial complainers who love to criticize Steinberg) ain’t so “old” after all… the fact Steinberg has gotten Cubase/Nuendo running so well on Apple Silicon, and now also on Windows ARM, shows they’ve got a modern pipeline and they’ve been working hard behind the scenes. This is a big statement of Steinberg’s development process, and frankly my own confidence in Steinberg just went up two notches. Hats off to Steinberg! They’ve been good at playing their cards close to their chest!
This bodes well for Steinberg, Yamaha, and the other partners you’ve got on board, Pete. I’m not surprised by Reason, and definitely not surprised AT ALL by Justin over at Reaper. He could get Reaper running great on a toaster oven, let alone Linux x86_64 machines, Raspberry Pi, etc…
I expect the Tracktion folks will be able to handle this transition pretty well too – given their business model of DAW engine and history with JUCE, etc… so I’m guessing you’ve had plenty of interactions with Julian Storer, etc… And I’m also guessing Presonus should come on board soon too. They were able to launch an Apple Silicon version pretty quickly, and they’re working on Linux right now, so I expect them to be able to get things going on Windows ARM hopefully soon too. Then add all the major plugin developers are probably thinking about this or already working on it too.
I really appreciate your efforts at Microsoft to make things like this happen. Please don’t leave Microsoft. Your obsession for a long time with MIDI 2.0 and improving performance for DAW users is a really good thing, a lot of normal DAW users do NOT know about you, and I think you’re one of the reasons why MIDI 2.0 has a real chance to thrive, even though it has taken a long time. It looks like you’ve carefully cultivated the relationships inside and out of Microsoft to push this agenda forward. Hats off to you! Much respect! 
The only “negative” thing (depending on one’s perspective!) about this is probably that this huge milestone will suck much of the life out of development resources potentially being channeled into commercial Linux DAW work for now! I’m a huge Linux fan myself (I use all the platforms), and I can see the chess moves here. This was a big milestone. While I am genuinely bummed that my own hopes for a more viable Linux-friendly third DAW platform just got delayed significantly (by a couple more years at least) by this news, I am also very happy about what you’ve accomplished TBH. Linux music production will still go on in its own unique path, but I am certain a lot of attention will now be paid to Windows on ARM.
Again, I can’t overstate the ramifications for getting all these partners on board and for your efforts on low latency performance, MIDI 2.0, and ARM.
I’d say we’ll be looking back at this milestone several years from now as a watershed moment in the DAW market, probably bigger than the transition of x86 to x64, and single/dual-core to many-core, etc. It’s big folks. Trust me.
And again, I’m happy to see Yamaha/Steinberg on the front lines, instead of dragging their feet on this. Before Avid. Before Ableton. And so forth…
Again… wow!
Keep up the great work, Pete! And congrats again to Steinberg! And no hard feelings that you guys just pushed back my Linux dreams a few more years! 
P.S. And seriously consider what I said about getting a Snapdragon machine in Hans Zimmer’s hands for an ad once the betas are all fully baked.
