If you are using Band-in-a-Box or RealBand with ASIO, please post your results here. We're looking to start a database of user experiences. There are a lot of different ASIO drivers, and audio interfaces out there, so we want to know which ones are causing problems (with which programs, OS's, and drivers).
Please list in the following format:
Program(s): e.g. Band-in-a-Box 2011, e.g. RealBand 2011
OS: e.g. Windows 7
ASIO Driver: e.g. ASIO4All, e.g. m-Audio FastTrack
Audio Interface: e.g. built in soundcard on PC, e.g. m-Audio Fast Track,
Results: e.g. Problems Encountered etc.
PLease stay on topic in this thread, it is just to summarize your results. It should be useful as a resource for users, and also for our support staff.
Here is a sample entry:
******************************************************************
Program(s): Band-in-a-Box 2011 and RealBand 2011
OS: Windows 7/64 bit
ASIO Driver: ASIO4All
Audio Interface: built in soundcard on PC
Results: Works well. No problems encountered. Latency is less than 10ms. Cannot use more than one ASIO program at once (as expected with ASIO).
*******************************************************************
Have Fun!

Program(s): Band-in-a-Box 2011 and RealBand 2011
OS: Windows XP SP3
ASIO Driver: Echo ASIO driver, ASIO4All
Audio Interface: Echo Indigo IO Cardbus
Results: Works well. ASIO4All works fine. No problems encountered. Latency is less than 10ms. Cannot use more than one ASIO program at once (as expected with ASIO). However the echo ASIO driver doesn't work. No matter what settings I try it still gives an intermitent and distorted output. I'd love to see a fix from either PGMusic or echo, wherever the problem lies.

Hi Peter,

OS: Windows 7/64 bit
ASIO Driver: Focusrite USB ASIO Driver

Results: Works well. No problems encountered. Latency is less than 10ms. Cannot use more than one ASIO program at once (as expected with ASIO).

I can use 2 programs at once ,but not if biab is one of them. Just tried Cool Edit and Wave Lab together and they work just fine. Never needed 2 programs opened at once to notice before.

Programs: BIAB 2011,RealBand 2011, PTW 2011.
OS: Windows 7 Home Edition
ASIO Driver: Creative
Audio Interface: Creative X-Fi Titanium Soundcard.
Results: Works OK and can support more than one device at a time. I use Creative and VSampler together.
ASIO Driver in this edition is superior to previous versions.
My problem with the Soundcard is with the MME driver "What You Hear" which does not appear to record at 44.1k.

Program(s): Band-in-a-Box 2011, build 317 -- and RealBand 2011, build 4
OS: Windows XP, SP3, Pentium 4, 2.8GHz
ASIO Driver: M-Audio Drivers
Audio Interface: M-Audio 2496 PCI Card
Results: ASIO sputters and clicks for me in BIAB 2011. It worked fine until V. 2011. Had to switch to MME. No problems encountered with MME drivers in BIAB 2011. Can drive CPU to 80% with no problems with MME. ASIO starts sputtering and clicking at 40% -- ASIO works fine in RealBand. Latency is about 12ms. Cannot use more than one ASIO program at once (as expected with ASIO).

Programs: Band In A box
OS: Windows XP sp3
Asio drivers Presonus Fire Studio Project3.5.5.10705
or MME
Latency 46 ms with ASIO or 107 with MME
VST: Cakewalk TTS
Performance: Very good and can run several other audio programs simultaneously including Sonar, runs Garritan JBB3 within BIAB. Rendering audio seems slower than expected. Drag and drop works fine.

If it's any help, after a huge effort to make the ASIO and asio for all thing work, I vowed to never tough the thing again. And that was with 2 version, as in XP and Vista.
I think I don't need to try again, everything is working perfectly, and I actually have NO need for ASIO, my gear goes to the mixer, and band in a box does too. I have no need to try and play my ketron with my keyboard, it's great on it's own.
And I'm having too much fun, it must be illegal.

OS: Windows XP SP3
ASIO Driver: M-Audio driver for delta 24/96 PCI card
Audio Interface: Delta 24/96 PCI card
Results: Works well. ASIO works fine with the exception of CPU usage. I uses a bit more that MME, but is still very stable. Can't use but one program at a time with ASIO as usual

Program(s): Band-in-a-Box 2011 and, infrequently, RealBand 2011 OS: W7x64 ASIO Driver: W7x64 Beta Driver 6.0.1.1246 Audio Interface: E-MU 161PCI Results:  In BIAB - No apparent latency, perfect.  In Real Band (I just tried this now and did a little tweaking, but don't use RB much) - Typical latency, about 200 ms. Fiddled, no joy. Selected ASIO Direct Monitor and got feedback zap.

Program(s): Band-in-a-Box 2011 and RealBand 2011
OS: Windows 7 Pro SP1 (Dell laptop)
ASIO Driver: Echo ASIO driver, ASIO4All
Audio Interface: Echo Indigo IO Cardbus
Results: Neither driver works. I'd ALSO love to see a fix from either PGMusic or Echo, wherever the problem lies.
Program(s): Band-in-a-Box 2011 and RealBand 2011
OS: Windows 7 Pro SP1 (clone AMD desktop)
ASIO Driver: M-Audio ASIO driver, ASIO4All
Audio Interface: M-Audio Delta 2496 PCI card
Results: Both ASIO drivers work fine.
On both my machines, I now use MME for BIAB (2011), and ASIO versions for Forte Ensemble, my VSTi input. In Forte, the ASIO drivers work well. Using this combination is very satisfying.

Program(s): Band-in-a-Box 2011 (build 318)
OS: Windows XP Pro (SP3)
ASIO Drivers: Delta v5.10.0.5069-------TonePort UX2 v4.2.4.4
Audio Interfaces: M-Audio Delta 66 PCI/Line 6 TonePort UX2 USB
Results: Works rather well. No problems encountered. Latency is usually less than 10ms and sometimes as low as as 3ms. Cannot use more than one ASIO program at once (as expected with ASIO). In cases, where I am using BIAB 2011 in "DAW Plugin" mode I set it to use the Line UX 2 ASIO and my main DAW apps (REAPER & SONAR X1) use the Delta 66 in ASIO. This allows me to drag and drop directly from BIAB to my DAW's timeline.

OS: Windows 7 SP1
ASIO Driver: M-Audio USB ASIO
Audio Interface: M-Audio Fast Track Pro
Results: Occasional crash on BIAB or RB startup. ASIO driver not supported message. The rest of the time it works flawlessly with low latency. When I use BIAB DAW plugin, I change BIAB to MME with good results.
