PLAN #1: Setup ASIO4ALL
-------------------------------
Since I have separate devices for input and output, I went to:
MULAB --> Audio Setup (ASIO, ASIO4ALL v2, 44100hz) --> Control Panel
I selected my USB microphone as the ASIO input and turned off the ASIO output. I saw the the meters were working and mike was live, so I recorded. I then went back to the Audio Setup and selected my output device. The instrument tracks played fine, but the recorded audio was sputtering and choppy and unusable. In comparison, with Audacity, I am able to use both devices at the same time under MME, Windows DirectSound, and WASAPI.
PLAN #2: Setup Jack for Windows
-----------------------------------------
I followed the instructions to download the 64bit version, which--for some reason--installs in x86 (I think it is 32bit acting like 64bit?). I started the server as recommended, which appears to use ASIO4ALL (???)
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jack>jackd.exe -R -S -d portaudio -d "ASIO::ASIO4ALL v2"
Code: Select all
jackdmp 1.9.10

JACK server starting in realtime mode with priority 10
self-connect-mode is "Don't restrict self connect requests"
InitTime : multimedia timer resolution set to 1 milliseconds
I'd welcome suggestions on how to get this working.
I'd also like to know what audio interfaces and microphones other people are using.
