I agree with rharv on this, when it comes time to do the mixing and mixdown, there is absolutely no advantage to be had by insisting on using ASIO drivers at that point. Might as well switch the program over to the Windows Sound drivers, which do indeed allow for a lot more overhead in the use of plugins here as well.

The ASIO drivers have the advantage when you are actually recording and monitoring. So I do switch to ASIO for that phase of the process.

But there is no difference in the audio sound quality, both drivers make pcm digital audio files of the same type and sound.
