Problems with the focusrite asio driver drivers#

The issue is how many ins and outs do you need? IвЂ™m not talking analog but digital. They all use the same DAC and everybodyвЂ™s offering one or more units - and I do mean everybody: MOTU, Presonus, NI, Mackie, Focusrite, Behringer, Steinberg and others I donвЂ™t recall at the moment. All are extremely fast and when set up properly, direct monitoring latency is undetectable.

There is a new generation of Fast USB 2В interfaces on the market released since Sept. ItвЂ™s not like Mac where many interfaces get along fine with Core Audio and donвЂ™t require drivers.

Problems with the focusrite asio driver drivers#

Unfortunately, all the latest interfaces require proprietary drivers for Windows. > I have zero bottlenecks except the ASIO issue< That may be an issue no matter what. Everything runs at stock and liquid and air cooled. I have thoroughly vetted my system, which I built myself (AMD x399 platform with TR processor, 64 GB RAM, 5 NVME SSD's, + 3 additional storage drives. So, any pearls of wisdom and recommendations is greatly appreciated. I have zero bottlenecks except the ASIO issue which I have thoroughly tested. A typical setup for me is 24-26 channels of 24 bit/96 khz with 3 mic positions each, some are much bigger. So, I am looking for recommendations on Audio hardware that you have had success with keeping in mind that I am running very dense VST templates with Vienna Ensemble Pro. I am currently using the SB AE-9, but while the sound is very good (which still surprises me), the ASIO drivers do not work whatsoever and ASIO4ALL is very sluggish. These are the interfaces I have used: Focusrite Saffire, Scarlett, and most recently, Clarett USB 2Pre. I can only get ASIO4ALL to work and not all that well. I am having a lot of trouble with running native ASIO drivers with Finale 25 and 26. I am a long time user of Finale since the mid 90's.
