I don't recall everything that happened last time but it wasn't functional until I re-installed, but this time my audio was just distorted like crazy. Obviously not a huge deal as it takes a minute to re-install the drivers.
FOCUSRITE ASIO DRIVER UPDATE INSTALL
On the last official update, as well as the early release 2021.09, the install has messed with my Focusrite drivers to the point I had to re-install them both times. There are lots of other relatively inexpensive interfaces that have the same feature.I've solved this twice now, so it's more of a notice to Cakewalk. For example the Alesis iO2 is usually pretty cheap but has good drivers and can let you create you monitor mix on its front panel. There will be some latency but hopefully with ASIO drivers this will be low enough to be workable.įinally finally (this is what happens when you finish a post after an hour spend driving your son to the doctor) maybe consider a different interface. You can use the Audition mixer screen to balance between recorded tracks and the input. This will let you monitor your mic after a round trip via your computer. I'd try some recording without it.įinally, you could try setting the Focusrite to Direct Monitor Off and click on the little "I" box (in the Edit Panel at the left end of each track) for your mic. It may be a wild goose chase but it's presence may be confusing your computer. I'm also slightly concerned about your mention of the Astro Mixamp-it's not a device I know but ASIO is very specific in only handling one audio device at a time. Things to try: first update/reinstall your Focusrite driver ( Downloads | Focusrite ) I'm not hopeful but it might help. One of the deficiencies of the low end Focusrite interfaces is that they only allow switching between input and output with no facility to mix-if you look at other interfaces-even low end stuff-you'll find that instead of a simple switch on the monitor control, they have a knob that lets you create a mix of input and output at the same time. (As an aside, that's why so many USB mics can't use ASIO drivers-you have to monitor via you existing sound card.) Once you select ASIO as a driver, whatever device you select has to do input and output. Well, to reply to your TL:DR question, there's no option for a playback device because with ASIO you have to specify a single device for both input and output. TL DR Why is there no option for a playback device when using my Focusrite ASIO? If there is, how do I activate/set it up? This is a problem if I want to have a song playing on one track, while recording on the other. I hear nothing when I "Monitor Input", and when I play the songs or recordings back, I hear nothing. HOWEVER, there is no audio playback via the Focusrite ASIO. ***Focusrite USB ASIO: Absolutely ZERO latency, registers the mic fine! Doing this disables all latency, and I have these options:ĪSIO4ALL v2: Does not register microphone, provides no playback device option and I get no sound.įL Studio ASIO: Registers the mic, is quiter and a slight delay, does not allow me to use my Blizzard/Focusrite interface. I then changed the device class from MME to ASIO (not sure what either of these are). When I checked my preferences, I noticed I could adjust the Latency down to 30ms, which is still noticeable for me. (NOTE: I am using a MXL990 Blizzard through a Focusrite Scarlet Solo Inerface for recording, and an Astro Mixamp plugged into the Optical port on my computer) After doing a test, I noticed I was receiving latency on my recording. I was messing around and trying to record myself rap when I noticed I kept being off beat. So as you may be able to tell, I'm very new to adobe audition.
