But now let’s take a look at the individual drivers, the so-called “Devices”.
The Most Important: WavePlay and WaveRecord.
Really those worthy of first mention are the “EWX 24/96
WavePlay
” device for audio
playback and “EWX 24/96
WaveRec
” which is responsible for recording. Both drivers
exist in 2 versions – one for analog and again for digital recording and playback. Last
but not least in this context, we present the recording driver “
EWX 24/96 WaveRec
Mixer
”. This driver, if you want, will record the sum of
all
the signals on the card. It can
therefore be used for loss-free digital “resampling” of all driver sources.
All of the mentioned devices support two driver models: MME and DirectSound. De-
pending on the application you should choose the appropriate device for the best
performance in the software being used.
The ASIO Driver.
At a first glance invisible: the AudioSystem EWX 24/96
ASIO driver
. Programs that use
Steinberg’s ASIO (e.g. ASIO 2.0) standard, reach (for Windows standard) extremely low
delay times (latency) during recording/playback. Cubase VST as example should be
able to achieve a latency from 7-20 ms. On a fast and cleanly installed system as little
as 3 ms with a sample rate of 96 kHz is possible! The in- and outputs that are avail-
able in the various programs are here also called “EWX 24/96
WavePlay
” and “EWX
24/96
WaveRecord
”.
