Note that even M-Audio is saying it is a Windows issue. Not RB or BiaB, but windows causing this. We all have to do whatever workaround is necessary to get past the windows issues as the come along. Again, it happens with ASIO, not MME. You can see that ASIO has faster response but comes at a cost. Most computers were not designed for what we are doing with them. Recording uses a LOT of read/write actions compared to most other apps and strains the system more. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to make things work.

I doubt windows developers even look at whether new changes will affect recording apps. We have to adapt to keep up. If support says just installing MIDIYoke or Loopbe fixes the issue, try it, instead of worrying about why windows does that. Then keep tracking.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
