Thank you for the video! Question though: Is ASIO needed for music composition systems like Kontakt, Spitfire Audio, etc.? Or does it only affect audio interface hardware that subsequently would only affect physical instruments? The answer seems to be a yes, but I'm asking just to be sure.
Thanks for this crash course. I've made a little bit of music before, but all of it was by writing individual notes for MIDI instruments using a keyboard and mouse. When I decided to add recorded audio and real-time playing into the mix, I was kind of taken aback at just how much latency I get without an audio interface. And now pre-amp on the motherboard! Obviously I had a lot of misconceptions that probably seem silly to some. So I learned about audio interfaces and got one, a Scarlett 4i4 3rd gen. (2i2 might have been enough for me. Honestly, the two line-in's in the back and the MIDI ports are in the "better to have it and not need it..." category for now.) I only learned just enough about ASIO to get my interface running. I think it would be good at some point to actually learn some of the details. You never know what kind of information is going to come in handy at some point.
Can you please help me out, I just want to connect my midi keyboard to PC and get low latency. I'm not into production or anything, I just want low latency at cheap price.
@@arpansolomon7572 Sorry, I don't have any specific recommendations. I recommend looking for up-to-date reviews featuring appropriate devices, and make sure they're using the same operating system (Mac, Windows) as you are. If your MIDI keyboard uses a USB connection, the input latency is probably already as low as it can get. But if you're having issues, you may need to do certain things to try and get the output latency down. ASIO4ALL is a software solution that might help with that. Also, check to see if your DAW or music software has options for audio buffer size. Reducing the buffer can reduce latency, but it might introduce other issues, so it's a balancing act. If none of those help, then it's really time to look for some hardware like an audio interface or a sound card.
Thanks Zane, Awesome video. We had to go the ASIO route, because the computer I use is awesome, fast and works well for music, except for the crappy soundcard that came with it, it would drop out every few seconds and drove me nuts. Fixed it with ASIO for All, then found that even that only worked so far. Once we bought our M-Audio Air 192/4 Interface, the system worked perfectly and is now golden!! We use M-Audio's ASIO driver and yes the latency is so minimal it's awesome. Sound quality is beautiful with this unit too.
When I used ASIO4ALL, my Mooer GE 200 guitar effects pedal Cakewalk said that it doesn't work with Cakewalk and that I should switch to something else. It automatically used WSAPI and things worked pretty fine.
Wish I knew this a couple of years ago, but I'm glad someone is doing this video for beginners. I use a Makie mixer nowadays, sounds better than any of the audio interfaces I've tried.
I understand noting. I don't know what is what in DAW. How do I install one correctly? all odf this is extremely colmplicated and depressing. Where do I leanr everrrything from the very begining? I don't know all the words you are using.
You can look up how to install software on your operating system. Then once you figure out how to install software you can download the installer for one of the DAW programs that you’re interested in. Double click on the installer (or first unzip it if needed) then go through the installation process. Most software should include a help section where you can click and access the user manual. You can look through that for the things that you’re interested in figuring out. If it’s just some words that you aren’t sure of then you can always google those words and see what they mean. This video is talking about what a specific driver type is for audio interfaces so I can see why you’re confused if you clicked and expected a video on “What is a DAW for beginners”.
Brother may i ask… why there is no vocal effects when using asio while i streaming live? I heard the vocal effects on my headphones but normal vocal on live streaming.. can you help me out pls! Im literally so terrified right now! 😭
Never knew setting up bfd with my alesis nitro would be so stressful. I came across a comment this might work. Hope it does cause this has been a hassle to day the least
Hey man i cannot get Asio 4 all to show in my audio setting or protools settings. I have Windows 10. I dont understand why its not showing. I installed and uninstalled several times
So I use a MacBook Air (2020) and I use fl, but when I connect my usb mic and my headphones (that has a mic on them as well) it doesn’t allow me to listen to the DAW while recording on the mic. So how do I use core audio to fix this? A lot of yt videos are saying that I need to download ASIOforall or smth, but I don’t want to have to download something when I didn’t have to for my old Lenovo.
Asio won’t change the sound of your audio it’s just a driver. But if your latency settings are too low it could cause pops and clicks and other weird issues. You can try increasing your latency to see if that helps. Does the Zoom R8 have its own Asio driver so you don’t have to use Asio4all?
ASIO4ALL is good, but it's really only second best to a dedicated ASIO driver for your hardware. I used to use ASIO4ALL all the time and thought the results were OK. I got a Creative soundcard with ASIO, and now latency is around 4ms which I don't notice and sounds really really nice.
Can NOT using ASIO drivers cause a sound card to malfunction? I use an MPC Beats DAW, and the installed windows 10 sound drivers. Now the Creative Audigy Sound Card is not being used - the sound comes from Realtek Speakers or my Nvidia Graphics Card. The Creative Card is no longer even listed as an option. There was a hum or buzz coming out of the speakers and I made the mistake of using the windows sound troubleshooter. It "solved" the problem by switching to Realtek speakers instead of the Creative Audigy speaker setup I was using. The noise is still present, but it is not as loud.
From what I understand about core vs asio drivers at a very geeky level, core has a few features that asio doesn't support natively, like combining multiple I/O's into a single logical device, but it doesn't really matter as software developers are able to create identical features on each platform. Sometimes people get hung up on whether something is "native" or not. In terms of actual code performance and efficiency, asio is the far better driver. In fact, at this point windows has basically turned the tables on osx completely. I personally run both systems and I much prefer my windows rig over my Apple rig. It's more stable and twice as fast for the same money. Unfortunately Apple leans heavily on their reputation from the past, hoping that no one will notice how much they've stagnated.
Installed Asio4all but I cannot hear the one output. I can hear either Ableton but not youtube or anything else, and when I reconfigure the hardware I can hear video and other sounds but cannot hear any ableton sounds inside it. This is soo f%^#d up!
I have just got a usb mic and windows recognises it without ASIO. But when I load up Reason. It can’t find it no matter what I’ve tried to do. I don’t get it. Please help
ok i got the latest asio4all and was able to get my mic recognised but cant hear it through my speakers or headphones but my recording software recognised it HELP!! THIS IS SO ANNOYING! i cant hear the play back of what i recorded but then can hear the other samples i had loaded up in the software through the speakers ...wtf!? why doesnt this stuff just work instead of having to screw around with it so much!
I'm new to music production, currently using Traktion waveform pro 13, it has 3 sound settings, ASIO, Windows output & Direct sound, I just want to know which is best so my final master sounds the brightest & cleanest. I am very new to this so apologies.
The driver won’t change the sound of the final master. But the driver can give you better latency which will affect how you record. Asio is the standard for music production on PC. It is designed for the purpose of music production. You will need to manually install the Asio driver for your audio interface. Go to the website for your interface’s manufacturer and see if they have an Asio driver that you can install.
I NEED Help! I have ableton live lite 11 and M-Audio keystudio 49i is my MIDI. This used to work fine on my older laptop which was windows 10 2016 version. But now that I have updated to a better system windows 10 pro 2020 version along with a newer laptop my MIDI just won’t respond. It’s giving no input even though I used the same driver I was using before. Can’t seem to figure out what the problem is. Somebody please help!!!
Try updating the M-Audio driver first . If that doesn’t work and/ or update your new laptop’s sound card, i.e., ASIO. Le5 me know how it works, and thanks,don’t give up!
@@reginaldcole5596 ah! It’s ok. My computer is fried, motherboard gone, can’t be repaired. and now I can’t afford to buy another. Bad luck I guess. :( Thanks for the help though!
@@joel6427 you should be able to just download Asio4all. I’ve done it several times without downloading a drive updater. Their website is a mess though. So make sure you’re clicking on the right download and not an ad that makes it look like it’s part of the site. Before downloading Asio4all check your audio interface’s manufacturer website to see if there is a proper, dedicated, Asio driver for it. That will be a much better option.
I use Asio4all to reduce lantency with my e-drums and it work fine. But now the problem is that drums sounds is coming to my earphones but if I want to use music from RUclips at the same time the sound is coming from my pc speaker ! Help me please anyone ! Thanks and congrats on very good content !!
If you want to continue to have the sound come through the earphones and then also have the RUclips music come through the earphones too, you’ll need to go into your windows sound settings and change the default playback device to whatever one you have your earphones plugged into. If you want to change it so the drums go through the pc too then go into Asio4all and change the output device to whatever one your pc audio is going through.

Using Reaper with Zoom R8 as interface. Asio4all sounds like crap. When i switch to Windows audio everything sounds much better?

Yes always use a dedicated Asio driver if it’s available for your interface. Asio4all is only if your interface doesn’t have a dedicated Asio driver.

May extuga e22 audio didn't properly work on adobe audition 2024. Lagging while record and it's not fully recording.
Because extuga audio interface has no driver that can interface with asio
