DX record OK, Asio record broken?

I want to switch to Asio so I can start ercording on the fly. I want to start by using http://plugins.timeshard.com/angstrolooper/ to do a KT Tunstall

But as soon as I switch from MME/DX to Asio the mic no longer records. There's no Asio in control panel. (so it's not the standard mixer that's causing it).

Is this a Live problem? Does ASIO have it's own mixer?

I tried http://www.asio4all.com/ as an experiement.

- the asio4all records ok but doesn't playback
- the creative asio still doesn't record but plays back ok

hmm...

Could be related to me having to use my line out since the green audigy plug needs re-soldering :/

Ableton is the problem.

Using http://www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm I set Asio to `Creative`. I then set the Asio channel selection to Mic and behold it then worked!

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a Asio channel selection option in Ableton?

Any ideas where this might/should be?

Hopefully this post is beginning to be useful to someone now.

the i/o button to the right lets you see the routing for each track. When the channel with the mic on it is selected for a track you can listen, record, and play it back.

Thanks, a good idea and I thought that was it. Unfortunately there's no Mic available to select, only `Ext. In`, `Resampling`, `A-Return`, `B-Return` & `No Input`.

So I can't select line-in or mic input.

The manual doesn't mention any more detail as far as I can see.

you need to select ext.in and then select you mic input there. it doesn't specifically say" mic" becasuse some people don't use mics

im not sure if we have the same kind of issue. I cant record adat out of live. are you using a mac? im running os x. theres no asio driver in coreaudio. again i dont know if your using a pc or mac. But if you are using a mac that might help explain the no asio option

reply: I didn't think Macs used ASIO but I'm not sure. I'm using a cheapy PC.

I got it working but only with the Asio4All driver. I haven't managed to get it working with the Creative Asio driver.
