[Stk] STK latency OK in Windows? Need recent Visual Studio?

[Gary Scavone]

Hi Chuck,

Using ASIO drivers with a good soundcard, you should be able to get  
low latency.  XP is fine.  However, STK no longer compiles on MSVC++  
6.0.  So, you would need to upgrade to a more recent compiler (or use  
mingw, though that can be a bit of a hassle too).

Regards,
