I had a hankerin' to play me some electric guitar, so I plugged into my old RP300 (the only effect pedal I have). I used it 5 days ago, and it worked great. Yesterday and today, well... It powers up and everything, but there is no sound at all. I switched it to tuner mode and it didn't seem...

Ever since I installed the latest version of Reaper, my Fast Track Pro no longer seems to work with it. I'll go back to the previous version to see if that helps, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues. *edit: okay, so it's an ASIO issue only, and switching to a previous...
