Did you ever dream about using your laptop or notebook computer as a synthesizer or digital effects box live on stage or in your recording studio? Until now this was not really possible - too high latencies of typical on-board sound cards and questionable sound quality prevented you from doing this... With our new USB ASIO driver now you can have both: superb sound quality and latencies as low as 4 ms on Windows are now possible without hassle. From now on you can use all supported USB audio (get list below) interfaces with ASIO-compatible applications such as Nuendo, Cubase, Sequel, Wavelab from Steinberg, Logic from Apple, Ableton Live, Propellerhead Reason, BPM Studio, Traktor DJ Studio, PRO-52, Absynth, Reaktor and FM7 from Native Instruments and many more applications which support ASIO 2.0 standard. The USB ASIO driver offers a fast USB Audio connection which allows to bypass the normal computer audio system and a directly link between application and audio hardware. Additionally the USB ASIO driver can enhance your audio quality using dithering functionality. The installation of the USB ASIO driver is pretty simple: A self explaining and automated installation routine helps you to install the driver properly into your computer system. The provided USB ASIO control panel application allows an easy to use setup of levels, bit depth, dithering and latency.

TechTalk: Why should I use USB Audio and ASIO 2.0? The "Universal Serial Bus" (USB) offers an easy to use interface between your computer and external peripherals. USB for audio works with 12 Mb/s (Full Speed) and offers up to eight uncompressed audio channels simultaneously. ASIO stands for "Audio Stream Input Output" and has been developped by Steinberg in order to achieve a standardized technology which connects audio hardware with audio applications at minimal CPU load. This leads to a dependable synchronization and very low latencies. * Hint: The test version of the USB ASIO driver is fully functional but will output a beep once every 30 seconds. This beep can be switched off by entering the key code. This code can be obtained by ordering the USB ASIO driver.
