Have WDM? Need ASIO?

[moskus]

Do you have WDM-drivers for you soundcard? (for example SB Live?)
Do you need ASIO-drivers? (for Cubase, Reason, etc)

Then this is for you!

Sounds like a cool idea....if anyone tries it let us know how the performance is!

Can someone link me to information about the differences between WDM and ASIO?

 

[moskus]

I can't provide you a link, but basically it's just to way of making drivers for soundcard. WDM is from Microsoft and ASIO is from Steinberg...

Moskus,

My Terratec has ASIO drivers. So how do I go about using these with CakeWalk HS2002? I was under the impression that I was forced into using WDM or MME drivers with Cakey.

Do you know something I don't

Basically you don't.

As you say, HomeStudio only supports WDM and MME-drivers, you can't use ASIO-drivers. I don't know, maybe there's an ASIO-to-WDM converter out there...

The Truth Is Out There Moskus - but I suspect a ASIO-to-WDM converter isn't...

If you have a choice between ASIO an WDM, are there pros and cons to each? Is one 'better?'

 

[moskus]

That depends on the developer of your soundcard, but WDM is said to be the better, because it's newer and more efficient.

Only Sonar 2.2 support ASIO driver, so you need an update!!
