Hi Jim,
Your correct that BIAB and Samplitude do work fine using the standard MME driver.
But to use the DAW for real time monitoring and using amp sims an asio driver is needed.
I did boot up Cakewalk Bandlab and it has the option when using asio to "Suspend audio engine when not in focus" meaning two apps can use asio drivers and which ever app is active uses the audio engine.
That is exactly what I'm needing.
Unfortunately Samplitude, which I use most of the time, doesn't have that option

Ah well might have to start using Cakewalk more often although most of my projects are in Samplitude.
Does any one on this forum use Samplitude with any suggestions.
Many thanks
Brian
