Error message is "audio device not available" when opening existing projects created on prior versions of CW and with different ad converter and ASIO driver.
Traced this back to Bit Depth settings. I used to record at 16 bits for CD compatibility and file size. My current config is CWbyBL connected to XR18 mixer. The bit depth setting is greyed out and can not be changed in CW but shows 24 . Sample rate is set to 48 on CW. When opening existing projects On the track control bar it shows 44.1/16. All this works if I use the MME drivers but there are quality of sound issues then and I prefer the ASIO drivers.
So whats the deal here? I suspect that the ASIO drivers for the XR18 are only capable of 24 bit depth and CW can not, or will not, change that. Is that the case? If I re-import the audio tracks they all work but still show the old 44.1/16 settings on the control bar. Problem with that is I lose all the automation which is extensive for some projects.
Anyone have a good handle on how this all interacts or a link to such an explanation. I'm not above RTFM, but there really is no manual that covers this stuff.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
