Hi all - any help is most appreciated.
Goal: I'm trying to connect the Tascam US -144 audio interface to my computer in order to record guitar/vocals in FL Studio
Software: FL Studio Producer Edition v20.0.1
User interface: TASCAM US-144
Laptop details
Model: dell G5 5587
Windows: Windows 10 Home
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz
RAM: 16.0 GB
System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Problem: Even before I attempt to record anything I am unable to successfully listen to a song/pattern in FL Studio via the headphones I've plugged into the Tascam audio interface. I want to solve this problem before I even begin trying to grapple with using the TASCAM audio interface to record a track
While the Tascam interface is connected I tried the following:
(i) Try to listen to FL Studio song/pattern via computer speakers
In Options -> Audio Settings
For "Device" I chose any of these options ("Primary Sounds Driver" or "Speaker/Headphones" or "ASIO4ALL v2")
Result: works fine. I can hear the song playing clearly & smoothly via the PC (or headphones plugged into PC).
(ii) Try to listen to FL Studio song/pattern via TASCAM US-144 interface (w/ headphones)
In Device -> If I chose ASIO devices: I chose "US-122L / US-144"
Click on "Show ASIO panel" -> Settings are as follows:
- Audio Performance: lowest latency
- Sample clock source: automatic
- digital output format: S/PDIF
Result: The song immediately appears to start buffering (i.e. the green tracker which shows you how far long in the song you are during playback moves incredibly slowly) and through the earphones (plugged into the TASCAM) I can hear the odd micro-second of clipped audio - every couple of seconds.
I get the same results if I choose "Speakers (TASCAM US-144)" under "DirectSound Devices"
********************
Any idea how I can get the song playing smoothly through TASCAM user interface (headphones jack)?
