Leander Posted Friday at 11:28 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:28 PM (edited) Hey! When looking through the different settings, I saw that Cakewalk uses Asio4all here and not my audio device. I wanted to set it to Motu asio (my device), but it always resets to Asio4all. Why? This setting is about recording latency compensation.

OutrageProductions Posted yesterday at 12:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:02 AM Delete Asio4All from your system... it only causes problems. It's not real ASIO, but a wrapper for the Windows WDM driver. This subject has been covered a thousand times in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This setting is about recording latency compensation. That's not showing the device you're actually using currently, its just a list. Go up to the devices tab of the Preferences and make sure the correct one is selected there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perrhaps a good UI change to prevent confusion would be to force the currently selected driver (or the first if there is more than one?) to be what shows in that dropdown when it isnt' being dropped down.

Wookiee Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago @Leander, Cakewalk uses the first Audio device that Windows initialises. It appears Windows does this in alphabetically, which is irritating. Don't blame Cakewalk it just uses what Windows gives it. Unless you have a really good reason, and does have to really good one, ASIO4all should not be installed on a DAW.
