I will also add that that MME/WDM is limited to only 2 channels input. For instance on my Zoom R16 I can record 8 inputs at a time. ASIO supports true 24-bit samples, unlike Windows MME and DirectSound which only pass the upper 16 bits. True 24-bit samples offer the potential for a higher signal-to-noise ratio.
One caveat is that, since ASIO is now such a popular format, some manufacturers only release WDM drivers with limited I/O support.

Really? Someone should tell M-Audio that, since I record 8 at a time using MME quite often using Delta 1010lt..

Number of channels is not LIMITED by WDM.It's up to the manufacturer. I use multiple WDM with my Audidgy card.
I do wish though that the not so experienced stop telling the even less experienced users that YOU MUST USE ASIO.
Once again. You only NEED ASIO if:
1. You are using effects in real time while recording
2. You are playing a soft synth in real time with a controller
3. Your card only supports multiple ins/outs with ASIO

Bob yes there are some manufacture drivers that do support this. My M-Audio Delta 44 does not, as well as my R16. Anyway whatever works for everyone.
Quote from Wiki
MME lacks mixing multiple audio streams during playback and device sharing, so only one audio stream can be rendered at a time. But some sound card drivers can emulate more than one MME device so it could work with MME too. MME supports up to two channels of recording, 16-bit audio bit depth and sampling rates of up to 44.1 kHz with all the audio being mixed and sampled to 44.1 kHz. Wiki

Yeah, but, we are really using WDM drivers. The MME name is from years ago. PGMusic continues to use MME label where WDM would be used.
WDM allows Directsound to be used.
Another quote from wiki-
DirectSound is a software component of the Microsoft DirectX library for the Windows operating system. DirectSound provides a low-latency interface to the sound card driver and can handle the mixing and recording of multiple audio streams.

Correct Bob I should have not included the WDM along with the MME. Also it is my R16 that cannot have multiple inputs with the WDM not my Delta 44. I use the same driver as you do on the 1010.

Not a problem, just trying to keep information clear, since you don't need ASIO to record multiple tracks. The MME setting (actually WDM) will often work fine.
I'm using 1010 on Win7 64 and it seems to be working fine with both ASIO and MME. Actually I find some things (like VST's) that claim they will not work in Win7 64bit, will indeed work. Maybe I'm just lucky that way sometimes.
'ParMeter' is one of my favorite metering plugins and it said it was not supporting 64 bit at all (the jeff rippe/rocksonic site even disappeared!), but it works in RB just fine on a 64 bit system. I almost didn't even try it; I was looking for another metering plugin but saw that I happened to have the install files on one of the old drives and decided to give it a try. Glad I did. It's not the $15 I paid to buy it, but the hassle of learning a new one that concerned me.
Win7 seems pretty good at handling these kind of things even when developers don't want to.
