Hi there! What’s been on your mind? What have you done this week? Any fun plans next week?

    I tried ASIO and had some really annoying problems. I don’t remember all of them but, for one, I really don’t like “exclusive” mode, I multitask way too much. I don’t think that was a requirement of ASIO but seemed to be highly recommended to get the benefits. Maybe I’ll take another look at it now that I understand better how this stuff works.

    Also, it turned out the M-Auido drivers caused even more annoying problems. I’d get random audio cut outs, anything that was already making a sound would just stop. The fix was to just play a sound from a new source and everything would turn back on. The biggest issue was Rocket League, I had to play a random sound every single time I started the game but there was still a good chance it would randomly cut out mid-game and the framerate would drop drastically until I played another sound. I ended up finding the fix for all those problems on a Rocket League post which was to just install the generic Windows drivers. I haven’t had any issues since.

    It took some work but I got the latency with WASAPI down to 10ms, nothing I can really notice. It’s more about the dependency on a DAW that I’d like to avoid when working with hardware.

      Sounds annoying indeed. I don’t have any firsthand experience with pedals, but I see Strymon Bigsky recommended a lot.

      Edit: Oops, forgot you said you already picked something.

        No problem, suggestions are still welcome :) Maybe I need 2 reverb pedals… 👀
