[Perform-Talk] major audio issues with windows ten via bootcamp on my MacBook pro... Driver issue?

Sat Sep 29 04:31:43 UTC 2018

Bootcamp is a mac OS utility that allows you to install/run windows
natively on your Mac so you can have both operating systems on a
single machine but they stay seperat and you aren't splitting up
resources. (For any sort of audio work, this is a better choice than
running windows as a vm.)
