The true believers versus the frustrated 'other DAW users.' LOL

To answer the purportedly imponderable question ... this is the advantage of ASIO: Low Latency.

You know that nasty lag between when you press a key and when you hear a sound?

Some people think that it is a cool idea for recording midi with softsynths while playing back other tracks. As a matter of fact, most people who have ever done this agree.

The issue of 'good' ASIO drivers is incorrect. I have two different pieces of hardware with manufactures ASIO drivers from two different companies whose gear falls in the top 10 of all equipment ... and one in the top 5: RME.

And it doesn't work with only BIAB.

So for you successful ASIOers here, congratulations!

The idea that Steinberg placed some code in ASIO to thwart other coders ... well, that is a sentiment about which each must draw their own conclusion. Interestingly, it hasn't stopped most of their fierce competitors like Sonar/ Cakewalk, Abletion, Sony, etc., from adapting their SDK.

If ASIO is 'flakey, unpredictable, 'your mileage may vary,' etc. with BIAB, then PG Music should stop advertising that it is compatible with BIAB.

i appreciate the avoiding crashing work around of killing a window by hitting the 'x' instead of the 'OK' button ... but c'mon!

As I said in another recent post on this form, just search this forum for 'ASIO' and see all the problems people have.
