I recently upgraded my audio card to a good quality, ASIO audio card (Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1) and now I’m having big troubles in Wavelab. I can’t configure my Audio Streaming Settings properly, and so I’m having problems recording and playing files. Also, I have no idea how to properly configure my Audio Streaming Settings, as the choices don’t make a lot of sense (what does IN-00 mean?).
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good quality audio card or interface that works with Wavelab 7? I’m really frustrated after a weekend of trying to make this work.
In answer to your specific question … a vote for RME. We have two. The RME AIO has been working from the moment it was installed and stayed rock solid ever since. The packaged TotalMix and DigiCheck are useful.
Good hardware costs money though.
The RME I bought has lasted me 10 years (Hammerfall, Hammerfall PCIe, ADI-8 DS (2 of).
Still working over 10 years later with no troubles.
You cannot - and indeed should not - economize on the audio card or your monitors - it is a false economy.
