Faderfox has a few options, two of which have 6 faders each (LC2 and LV2). They are NOT usb but rather midi, however you can daisy chain them for multple units and they're very compact (roughly 7"x4"x2.75"). They also seem pretty well built for what they are (plastic). JL Cooper has ...

I"m not sure why it's limited to 16khz, but mp3 is 32bit (not 16 or 24) so it's possible that they have everything optimized for mp3 playback and kludged the wav support in on top of that.

The world has long since moved on... PCIe 2.0 systems are debuting this winter. However AGP cards can still be found if you don't mind something last generation (outside of perhaps 1 ati card by some oddball maker for the current gen). For gaming a bit of tweaking in your game's config files can usu...

Given the motherboard he's listing I suspect that he's got enough graphics power, although disabling ugly themes isn't a bad idea. One might wonder if he is running an ATI/Nvidia gaming card and could benefit from Doubledawg. I suspect spacef was on the right path when he listed the latency of manip...

After reading through problem solving more today, It seems that there are multiple dual core users having problems with the wav driver that I haven't seen on NT since the 2.04b days (the first win2k compatible driver). Back then it was due to my using a dual Xeon system when it was still a rarity, b...

Did you try the output preload slider found in the device's properties panel? (accessible from device manager or the hardware tab in sounds & audio devices control panel).

no, the PCI latency timer just sets the maximum unit a device can hog the bus (in my humble understanding) Actually I believe the BIOS level PCI latency setting only gives a default value for a device to initialize to when the BIOS starts up the attached peripherals. I don't know if there's a hardw...

Multiclient MIDI drivers are much like Multiclient ASIO drivers. Many products don't come with them, and many applications don't support them. However some do, and when you use a company's own software with its own products you often gain access to this easier (CME software using a CME driver at the...

Hey guys, why don't we agree on a tagging system to use in the post title, at least for now? I can see a mod devices forum being created, but I think beyond that (mod2/mod3/flexor etc) I can see tagging working ok there. What I mean is something similar to: (Mod2) = Mod2 only (no 3 modules) (Mod23) ...

I actually use StyleXp myself, as I find it more more stable way of enabling loading of styles and unsigned themes than by using the uxtheme.dll hack method. I never liked windowblinds. I do manually kill the StylexpService after boot though (can't recall if that's what 'use no resources' does or no...

Incidentally, I believe that the SATA drivers from Intel (and all SATA and old PATA type Raid chipsets) use the cpu for things that a 'true' SCSI Raid card would coprocess. This could be the reason for the crackles....

There's a halfway decent frontend for patching too. I haven't played with it much since I found out so it slips my mind atm, but I'll fire it up later and post up a link. What was obvious before I even fired it up was that unlike the open source sequencers and other musical tools, most windows softw...

This is a limitation of the SPDIF format, which is really a consumer format. External devices will almost always want to be 'master', as that is how the specification is defined.

ASIO4All wraps itself around the Wav/WDM drivers, and I wouldn't recommend that for the Scope cards. Also I thought you needed to use the same card type to achieve that? Could be wrong there. However there are other solutions. My first choice if I was looking at combining those 2 audio devices would...
