ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
Ok maybe a dumb question but bear with me:
So I just bought brand new PC, downloaded my sound interface's driver (2i2 MKI). Now I realized I can't use Ableton and watch Youtube, movie etc etc at the same time, so I've downloaded the ASIO4ALL. Should I keep it or it doesn't worth the downgrade? How much sound quality will I lose, if any?

Re: ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
Asio4all is a driver. It can't affect sound quality directly i don't think. If you think it is, check there's no funny sample rate conversion happening.

That's just down to your exclusivity settings with the soundcard within windows.Monreal wrote:Ok maybe a dumb question but bear with me:

But also, why do you want to use ableton and watch YouTube at the same time?
Re: ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
It's not necessarily at the same time per se. I sometimes minimize Ableton and check out some stuff on the internet.
Are these numbers good?

Re: ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
If you really want to watch youtube or do other stuff while producing.
I 'd say keep it at 44100, 16bit

Re: ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
I often combine Ableton and producing tutorials / inspiration etc from other applications like YT. These settings have always worked fine for me. UMC ASIO Driver is something specific for my audio interface.
Edit: Also in some of the ASIO specific settings for my UMC driver, I've set the ASIO buffer sample size to auto.

Re: ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
You should be able to share a single interface for both Ableton and Windows simultaneously. You need to check your drivers and audio settings. AISO4ALL is meant to aggregate two or more AISO devices/drivers into one virtual device. It don't think it will help with device exclusivity, unless it's a driver limitation. I believe Windows requires audio drivers to support shared mode, although it's been a long time since I was doing driver development.

Re: ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
Withing FL studio I can use autoclose, so when I minimize FL the driver shuts down and I have sound on youtube and others. I used to use Fl studio Asio, cuz it let me use other sound outside FL, but it suddenly started to work like shit (kept crashing FL), so I switched to Asio4 All and the autoclose button
Re: ASIO vs ASIO4ALL
You need a soundcard with an ASIO multiclient driver like the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 supports. RME also have ASIO multiclient drivers.
