down what application is going to use what input or output. Go through all the

applications you plan to use this way, set them all up for the same sample rate, and

set up their inputs and outputs correctly.

You should also turn off your system sounds. Most system sounds tend to be at 11

kHz or 22 kHz. Imagine that you're recording the best guitar solo of your life and

someone clicks on something on the screen. The 22 kHz system sound will play

out of an unused output and drop the sample rate of the whole system to 22,

ruining your take.

If you really want system sounds, go buy a $30 cheapo sound card and play them

through that. Set the preferred device in the Multimedia control panel to the

cheapo sound card and check “Use preferred devices only.”

Q: What are the rules that I should follow if I want to use multiple

audio applications at the same time?

- Set all your applications to the same sample rate. (You can also use the “sample

rate lock” feature in the Console to help with this.)

-Turn off your system sounds.

- Figure out ahead of time which inputs and outputs each application is going to

use. Inputs and outputs cannot be shared between applications.

Q: What I really want to do is use a software synthesizer or sampler

like Gigasampler, Reality, or Retro AS/1. What's the best way to

use this with an audio and MIDI sequencer like Cubase VST or

Cakewalk?

The best thing you can do is run the synthesizer/sampler application first, then run

the sequencer. Make sure that each application is set to use a different set of

inputs and outputs.

With the VxD ASIO drivers, you need to be careful with assigning inputs and

outputs to get Cubase VST to work in multi-client mode. With WDM, the ASIO
