If you have external monitoring and can use a higher latency, it may work
ok. I would rather suggest one of the audio distros Live ISOs. Many of
them have a persistent file system available. I you boot one from a USB
stick you can run audio apps natively and save to the usb stick. Some of
them may allow mounting your windows partition r/w as well for saving
directly to the hard drive. For sure ubuntustudio and I think there is a
Red hat variety too (forget the name just now, CR?? comes to mind). I am
sure there are others too.
