Hi Mike, it all depends on your card, the manufacturer, and how good they've implemented either drivers. For my saffire for example, I've heard performance is better when using asio, which is what I've always used, with the saffire, my previous delta, and my first tascam us122. If you own an fw-1884 however, it is recommended that you use the wdm drivers, as they provide better stability. This is the case for various cards, some like 1 better, some like the other. So what interface do you have?

Hi D!J!X!, Speaking of this business of asio and wdm drivers, I'd be interested in what you and others prefer to use. I've heard that wdm is better, but then it depends on what source you're reading, etc. I've been using asio for a while now without any problems, but now with the discussion of the metronome underway, I may consider switching to wdm to get more flexibility in my choices for ins and outs. Any thoughts on these drivers?
