[SOLVED] Audacity supports ASIO

[danny.guitar]

But it doesn't come shipped with it (for legal reasons), you have to compile it yourself. I don't have C++ installed though.

Does anyone have a compiled copy they can send me or is there one floating around on the net? I can't seem to find one.

What a nice forum. Two years and not a single reply???

Anyone?

I have this same question.

You could try googling Asio4All. It's supposed to be a universal ASIO driver,.. but i have no idea if it would work with Audacity.

ASIO comes with your SOUNDCARD, not with your audio recording program.

(that's IF you've got an asio-compatible one...)

It is the drivers that talk to the hardware and the Operating System.

Audacity doesn't support ASIO unless you compile the coding yourself, which looks to be pretty complicated. ASIO is a proprietary technology of Steinberg and it would be a violation of copyright laws for Audacity, which is free, to include Steinberg's copyrighted code, which is NOT free. Steinberg will let you use ASIO, and Audacity CAN support ASIO, but by default it is not included. You have to do the "programming" yourself by downloading the necessary components from Steinberg's website, after which you are not allowed to distribute your compiled, ASIO-enabled version of Audacity, lest you be in violation of copyright law yourself. You can legally USE it, but not DISTRIBUTE it.
