> The two primary audio APIs available on Windows have very high latency, to the point where they make tracking with effects virtually unusable.

My understanding is that pro audio software on Windows generally bypasses the Microsoft audio stack. Instead, they use ASIO to access the sound card directly.

Thus, the Windows ecosystem is not at a disadvantage when it comes to audio latency.
