If I have BiaB and ST1 both using ASIO drivers I will get a crash, thus I always have BiaB using MME drivers, i.e. no crashes.
Thanks for trying to help Mario,
Did you see what my AI bot already came up with?

After I discovered that the S1 problem went away when GP isn't running I then followed what the bot said and the problem is still gone even when GP is running.

You and it may be partially saying the same thing. It is specifically saying to use "Standard" in GP, you are saying don't use ASIO if Studio One is using ASIO.

You say I'll experience crashes if S1 is using ASIO. The problem with that is in my configuration there is no ASIO option available in S1!
S1 recognizes the Tascam, and so Series 102i/208i shows up as an option. From day 1, this setting has been set and I've had no problem until GP appeared.

All this continues to point to GP as being the root cause and the solution is to set "Standard" in GP. I think I experienced a driver clash.

You say "A Multi-Client ASIO driver will run more than one program at a time." OK, I am now running more than one program at a time. Which is Multi-Client? The "Standard" in GP of the "Series 102i/208i" in S1?

I'm guessing that over the years there must have been hundreds of people that have had driver issues (like the one I just solved) or different issues. I'm sure some of these folks simply gave up and accepted defeat. I see in S1 that there is also an option to release audio device in background. Other audio programs will have their own set of settings and options. And I'm not convinced that the various manufacturers are even talking amoung themselves in this regard.

I scanned the "tips" post that om referred to and it is no different that an ordinary post; lots of different people offering perspectives sprinkled with YouTube vids. To be sure there is some "wheat" in that tip thread but there is also a lot of "chaff" to work thru.

This tells me we have another need for a well-written paper on all things related to programs that use audio and how to prevent conflicts when multiple such programs are used at the same time. Or maybe somebody has already written it.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
