Lot of inferring going on here.

Trying to support an argument that there is no advantage of ASIO over MME ... regardless of what personally works for you ... is a loser. You may dislike ASIO for any reason you care to, but that does not arrive at a cogent argument.

This would:
1: I prefer MME because even though it has large latency, you never have to worry about any issues of sharing a driver if you are using more than one program.

2: I prefer ASIO because even though you may have to adjust settings since only one program can use the driver at a time, you never have to worry about latency.

Congrats on your good income and, more importantly, grandson. Enjoy every precious moment with him and the others you love.

Peace.
