Lorin,

I have just found this in the PG Music archives.

For Band-in-a-Box 2006 we added live intelligent lopping/playback controls, allowing you to move around to sections of the sing with a single keystroke on a QWERTY or MIDI keyboard. This is great when jamming or performing live. We added ASIO and VSTi support.


After reading the above, I began wondering if ASIO was supported in BIAB 2005.

From a BIAB perspective, ASIO is essentially a shortcut path to the souncard. Like all shortcut paths, it makes getting to the target much quicker. In relation to BIAB, it applies to external input into the soundard and is used to obtain lower latency (that is, the time it takes from when the signal was generated on an external device until when it was heard through the speakers).

I use ASIO4ALL (a freeware ASIO wrapper). My experience is that ASIO only allows one sound application at a time to function. For this reason, I tend to stay with MME as my driver. The only time I activate ASIO is when I'm recording an audio input.

As mentioned at the outset of this post, though, it seems as though ASIO might not work with your BIAB 2005.

Regards,
Noel
