Low latency out-of-the-box (without ASIO4ALL) on Windows
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2017 12:43 am
On Windows, ASIO4ALL is very useful to have low-latency, for example for a laptop's built-in soundcard.
But the major drawback is that once ASIO4ALL is used in Ableton, you cannot play music in Youtube in Firefox, you cannot play music with Media Player, you cannot edit a sound in SoundForge, etc. : ASIO4ALL is not multiclient.
Thus:
Feature request: it would be interesting to have low latency out-of-the-box, without ASIO4ALL.
This is now possible thanks to Win10's WASAPI, and Reaper users seem to be happy with that: low latency, out of the box, without ASIO4ALL.
But unfortunately it is not supported in Live.
Feature request: could you enable WASAPI for Live?
It shouldn't be so difficult, since most audio I/O libraries nowadays support WASAPI as well as ASIO (http://www.portaudio.com/, etc.).
