For several years I had been happily writing and recording my songs using BIAB with Computer on XP. I could record the melodies to BIAB or Real Band with no problems using Asio Drivers to take care of the latency problem.

Since switching to Win 7 (Professional edition) Computing platform, I have had multiple problems with recording from an external synth to BIAB because Win 7 latches onto the control of Audio input and output and won't release them for use as they did in XP. I'm sure others have had this problem too and we sure do need to find a solution. First issue was the latency which was solved by installing ASIO drivers but then when I tried again, I could get no sound from BIAB. Was wondering if anyone has used the Virtual Audio Cables and found them to be a suitable solution to the problem. If they are it would be an inexpensive answer to a sticky problem.

I'm not a real tech savvy person and had a hard time grasping all the details about the VAC but thought perhaps some of you folks that are a little more experienced with computers might tell me what I need to know.
