It seems I'm the first poster here. Perhaps I'll get some kind of prize?
I have a yamaha synth. I used to play around with cakewalk and so... but the latency from my sound device was frustrating. Also, some software only works with an ASIO driver, and Gigastudio ONLY works with a GSIF card... so I ended up unplugging and storing everything until I was able to buy a TASCAM USB sound card, which is GSIF/ASIO compatible, but very expensive.
Two great news renewed my interest for music lately.
The first, of course, was to find ASIO4ALL. I had tried another utility before, which was NOT free, and whose demo DIDN't work. Sincerely, when I downloaded ASIO4ALL I didn't expect it to work very well. But now I am able to monitor audio with 2.5 mS LATENCY in my crappy AC97 on-board audio! and with reverb, chorus and flanger!
(IN fact it works with a buffer of 64 samples, without a problem... but I use it at 128, just to feel safer).
The other news are that the new Gigastudio version 3 has a ReWire. That means It can be hooked to a ReWired sequencer (cubase, cakewalk... almost all of them) and use the sequencer's ASIO4ALL-driven sound device, instead of requiring a GSIF card!
Now I'm wired again, recording and sequencing. Thank you very much, Michael.
