Setup (1): A music software in ASIO + a standard application like Firefox using the so-called Windows WDM driver The real difficulty is that we would like to use (Ok switching to Mac would have been a faster solution.) This is really annoying and I can't count how many hours of my life I wasted since 10 years to find a solution for this (every few months/years I retried and retried and benchmarked every new method). then it won't work: the audio is not available for them: your DAW and ASIO4ALL have locked your soundcard.

or Youtube in your browser, to get some inspiration from your favourite artist.

or your media player to listen to a MP3 (for example to compare the mix you're currently working on with another song).

an external sound editor, such as SoundForge, to edit a sample.

This means that if your DAW is open with ASIO4ALL as sound driver, then, if you open: Without it, the delay of more than 50 ms between the keypress and the sound makes it nearly impossible to play.īut ASIO4ALL has one major drawback: it's not multi-client.

Michael Tippach's ASIO4ALL is incredibly useful for the PC music community since more than 10 years, because it turns your cheap computer's built-in soundcard into a low-latency one! With ASIO4ALL, you can plug a MIDI keyboard and play piano or synth with no 'delay'. use an external USB soundcard (but sometimes you're not in your studio - maybe traveling - and it is not an option to have a soundcard in your backpack!).So you want to use your music production software, with low latency on your PC/Windows laptop? Update: if you're into sampling or beatmaking, here is how to remove drums from a song! 5 October 2018, by Joseph #audio #windows #asio #multiclient #ableton #production #tech #music
