Which is usually the right choice? mme asio was I usually choose ASIO in other music software My sound card is focusrite and also supports ASIO However, I found that my default is Mme So which is the right choice? What do they represent? thank you
But what does "WAS" mean? This is the first time I've seen this.
Is “MME” a driver only belonging to band in a box?
WAS = Windows Audio Service.
MME = is an abbreviation for MultiMedia Extension, a driver for the Windows operating system that enables certain audio or video functions. It is not a driver developed specifically for use by BiaB.

Sorry; I had assumed you would first Google the definitions and wanted more practical advice. A little more:
WAS was defined above and API just means application programming interface. WASAPI is WAS for short.
MME is much older than WAS and I have always used MME.
ASIO is a standard that vendors use to develop drivers for their own equipment. It should work fine unless you also have a DAW or other Windows digital audio program open at the same time as BIAB. I knew you had Studio One.
You can try switching drivers, but you will probably encounter timing issues between audio and MIDI that must be adjusted in BIAB.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors
I have ASIO for my DAW, Studio One Pro 5, and MME for BiaB. This way I can have both BiaB and my DAW running simultaneously. The is the best workflow for me. YMMV
PS - Note that I never record in BiaB. I always record in my DAW. Recording most always requires ASIO drivers.
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

ASIO is typically used if you are using an audio interface. Most audio interface brands that work well with Band-in-a-Box provide their own ASIO drivers to install. Otherwise, two generic ASIO drivers that have worked with Band-in-a-Box in the past are ASIO4ALL and FlexASIO.
ASIO is a hardware specific driver provided by the audio interface manufacturer. WAS and MME are generic audio driver applications provided by Microsoft Windows. MME was the only Windows audio driver from Windows 95 to Windows XP. The WAS application was added in Windows Vista and is also in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.
ASIO4ALL is an audio driver that makes MME appear as ASIO to a DAW. Most DAW developers don't like ASIO4ALL because it can create problems.
Microsoft created MME in Windows to support computer audio cards and CD-ROM audio. WAS adds the capability to handle multiple audio streams at one time.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
