Ok I'm using an M-audio Quattro Interface into a yamaha mixer MG10/2.
I'm using Adobe Audition 1.5 right now to record, but I'm having problems recording. I wanna be able to record my vocals solo with being able to hear the beat while i'm recording then later mix it into stereo. It seems I can only record stereo with Audition. Would i need an asio app to record my vocals solo then later transfer it into a stereo mix? Like I said I still wanna be able to hear my beat while I'm recording, but only catch my vocals.
 
ASIO ASIO ASIO! Much better latency.......i run my sonar 4 producers, with a m-audio delta 66 soundcard.....and have a latency set to 1.5 ms..........with no problems.

try www.asio4all.com for a free asio driver for your computer. i have it, and works great! :)

I'm not producing man. I don't think you got what I was trying to say. I'm not trying to make beats. I just wanna record my voice solo with being able to hear my beat playing instead of recording it stereo. I don't know if audition lets you do that with an interface.
 
So your saying that you can't record your vocals while listening to the playback tracks? that doesn't have anything to do with wheather it's Aiso or WDM, I have the 1010 so I don't know if the control panels are the same, but you have to set-up the "m-audio delta control panel"
 
With Audition 1.5, the choice is simple: it doesn't support ASIO. You have to upgrade to 2.0 for ASIO. I easily ran 8 I/O simultaneously without it, before I got 2.0.
 
So could "asio" be the problem then? Would I be able to record my voice on a seperate track without the music? but still be able to hear the music while I'm recording? How would I be able to do this?
 
Go to the Cool Edit Pro forum (it became Audition a couple of years ago) and read the sticky on what to do when track one records to track two. To listen to the recorded tracks while you are recording a new one, you need a full-duplex sound interface, which means one that can handle audio going in and out at the same time. There's a lot of information at the Adobe website. For some reason I can't post a link here, but go to Adobe/Support/Forums and then select Audition from the list of software in the lefthand column.
 
This is the only bit of info i could find on my card.

Due to driver limitations, most multichannel M-Audio interfaces have only a stereo WDM driver, and their multichannel ability is restricted to ASIO. If your interface is multichannel in some way (like having a independent SP/DIF port or monitor channel), it might be that it can only record off the other, wrong input in Audition 1.5 or any other ASIO-unaware software.

I'm using a wdm driver. From what this guy say's it will only let me record stereo?
Maybe 2.0 will be better suited for my card if i would want to record from just my mic while hearing the beat. What do you think it sounds like from what this guy says?
 
The RME Fireface's manual has a great section on WDM vs. ASIO vs. MME.
 
You don't need more than a stereo driver to record voice after recording something else. But do as LPDeluxe told you, go to the CEP forum. It is only a matter of setting your software mixer and channel selection in CEP. It would help if you just rtfm...

Wdm will do fine for what you want.
