Hey everyone, I am a windows user; I am a musician in a band who performs with VST plugins in live sets on Ableton Live; I frequently have issues with my USB MIDI keyboard and USB external audio interface, sometimes the devices turn unresponsive at random periods. Through tests I have ascertained that it is definitely NOT caused by my usb port nor my midi keyboard.
I think switching to OSX would fix that? Because I heard that OSX drivers work better; also many musicians out there use Macs. Does anyone know about these usb issues in windows or how usb works on osx?

Also I am currently running on a direct output from my laptop's headphone output. ASIO4ALL gives me minimal latency. I heard there is no ASIO4ALL for mac. Does that mean that if I switch to OSX, I will have latency problems in my current setup unless I use an external audio interface?

Your input is appreciated.
