This conversation goes on at every forum board on the net that deal with recording software. We always get someone who insists on chasing the ASIO trail.

ASIO is iffy on ALL PG products. I use it, but will admit i am using a very mature and solid interface. The mixer interface you are using has at times come up as being a little iffy in the driver area, in other conversations, here and on other boards. Also the CPU use in PT/RB is far greater with ASIO, than with WDM (MME). WDM is a good driver, and will give reasonable latency especially with basic tracking as you described. Make music, don't wrestle drivers, it is boring, and frustrating. PTPA has always worked better for me on MME drivers than ASIO. Also consider that the buzz, and faltering is caused by the fact that PT, RB, and BiaB were never built with a gapless or seemless audio engine like some of the biggies like Cubase, and Logic were, it is just a fact. Making big effect, and instrument changes will cause this.

People get way to hung up on ASIO, it is not always, and sometimes not at all needed. It is like a hammer and a air nailer, both drive nails, and in some situations the nailer is way faster, but in some situations it is not needed, or even advisable. Use the tool that works for the job.
