Clarification regarding ASIO4ALL Authorship

The recent sad news is that Carlos Mateo (“Texvo”) died on August 4, 2008. For his outstanding contribution to the music community, he will be missed by many.  The news came along with a note that suggested his involvement in the conception and/or development of ASIO4ALL. Consequently, people have started sending condolences.

This puts me in the difficult situation of having to clarify that Carlos was at no point in time involved in either the conception or the development of ASIO4ALL. What is true, however, is the great amount of time and dedication he spent helping other people with their audio hardware and software issues – including issues surrounding ASIO4ALL, at times. He surely will be missed!

  • Advanced configuration

    Advanced configuration

    Once the control panel has been switched to advanced mode, things begin to look a little more complicated. The device list is now expandable and you can enable more than one item at a time. The device list contains Devices, Device Interfaces and so called “Pins”. Devices are independent hardware units most of the time.… more

  • Device aggregation

    Device aggregation

    Using the button next to each entry, you can now selectively enable/disable each particular item in the device list. This way, you can also create multi-device-setups (“aggregate devices”). Multi-device-setups require that all the devices involved are running from the same clock source. You can achieve this by daisy-chaining devices via S/PDIF etc. On-board devices usually… more

  • Latency Compensation

    Latency Compensation

    Since ASIO4ALL does not have sufficient knowledge of the underlying hardware/driver architecture, it can only guess the actual latencies involved. With these sliders you can compensate for the latencies unknown to ASIO4ALL such that recordings in your sequencer Software are properly aligned with the rest. Note: In multi-device-setups the largest respective value of all devices… more

  • Hardware Buffer on/off

    Hardware Buffer on/off

    Note: For WaveRT drivers, this box is labeled “Allow Pull Mode (WaveRT)” instead! Enables the hardware buffer for the highlighted device. This only works for so called “WavePCI” miniports, as other types of WDM drivers do not usually allow direct access to the hardware buffer. Adjustment for best hardware buffer performance involves the “ASIO Buffer… more

  • Kernel Buffers/Buffer Offset

    Kernel Buffers/Buffer Offset

    If hardware buffering is disabled, this control lets you add up to two more buffers to be queued for audio output. Each additional buffer increases the output latency of the device by the time it takes to play one buffer. Therefore, the initial setting of “2” should only be changed on less powerful machines, where… more
