Thanks Craig[/quote] You can't download Cubase LE for free legally... Audacity will work, but because of licensing problems, the ASIO code can't be distributed with the downloaded version. If you want Audacity to be able to see ASIO drivers, then you have to download the source code for Audacity and compile the ASIO support in to it... I found that using the Zoom interface with Audacity suffers from a noticeable latency problem without ASIO support... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Cooke Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 doesn't work... Audacity doesn't see the ASIO driver... [url="http://www.audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=ASIO_Audio_Interface"]http://www.audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php...Audio_Interface[/url] [quote]Audacity and ASIO Audacity, as an open source program licensed under the GPL , is currently unable to support ASIO. This is because ASIO is a proprietary, closed source technology protected by a licensing agreement which prevents redistribution of its source code. So although Audacity is ASIO-capable (providing the user's sound device is similarly capable), ASIO support cannot be distributed in Audacity without violating either Steinberg's licence agreement (if the code was distributed), or Audacity's GPL Licence (if the code was withheld). There are persistent rumours of Steinberg opening up licensing, but without any apparent movement. Anyone who cares about this issue is invited to make their views known to Steinberg at this email address.[/quote] If you want ASIO support with Audacity, then you have to compile it in yourself.
