If the M-Audio has its own ASIO drivers then use those rather than ASIO4All - you'll almost certainly get better performance and lower latency. If it hasn't ASIO4ALL should work.

ASIO drivers are available.
You'll be fine with it for a while, then you'll look for an upgrade - for thus work all equipment purchases ;-) |

I'd love to too Tony...but I think its gonna be about 3.7 per cent duty and 21 per cent tax ...Gulp!! I was sort of hoping that it might sneak through without anyone noticing....damn! ... I empathise with you mate. 21% IVA, 300 Euros per month Seguridad Social and then income tax. Sometimes it really does seem like it costs too much to work. I have a ring file full of letters from the tributaria and hacienda. They make lovely bedtime reading if you're ever really bored . (I just did our annual IVA return so I'm even more negative then usual ). I don't know what ASIO is..I am assuming it isn't the same as the driver I have the ASIO4all? Upgrading means you are still alive. ASIO stands for audio stream in/out and is just a digital audio protocol for sound cards running with Windows. An ASIO that is designed specifically for a card should be able to make best use of the card's particular design whereas ASIO4ALL is meant to work with any card. So the first is specific and optimised for a particular card whilst ASIO4ALL is more general.

Ok thanks Tony...I just went to M audio.com and they have so many different products I got lost looking for drivers and manuals. I think this is the one I will need. http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=suppor...vers&f=1126 |

Great decision! I'm using Fast Track Pro at home now and it's really good! M-Audio Asio drivers work better than Asio4all!

This is just an ordinary MkI, I don't think it will compare to your pro version!!! I hope the ASIO/ M Audio combo works well with Reaper/Amplitube because I am getting a lot of horrible feedback everytime I choose something with overdrive in it...I find myself plugging in to my VOX practise amp to get better sounds at the moment, when I really need to be sat in front of the PC top get my best value out of GMC lessons!!! Well, I think that the quality is pretty similar, the difference is that the pro version has more ins/outs and controls. It must work perfect with Reaper and Amplitude. -------------------- My lessons

I got one of these about 4 months ago and still have no clue how to record with it. When you get it or anyone who knows how to use it can you please do a short tutorial. I use or wanna use mine with my Mac Book Pro. Thanks and good luck with it. I have heard nothing but good things about it.
Edit. Is it easier to use with a mic than as a direct plug and play? -------------------- http://mhd-pickups.com/
