Topic: wavelab 5 ASIO driver help...

[caymanreview]

im trying to use the asio drivers to record for the first time in testing at home...

i was getting a few clicks/pops and someone said i should always run the asio drivers

when i choose them under playback, and then choose what channels i want (1&2 for mic inputs) i get the visible levels, and everything seems ok...

but when i choose record, the levels fall off and there is nothing recorded


am i missing something here??? ive messed with it for a few hours and cant get it to work... any help?

it seems to be a bug, cause the same thing happens to me.  Step back to v4.01 and all will be well...  Or don't use the ASIO I suppose...

[the yokel]

I don't really have an answer to your problem but the MMe ASIO driver works great in 5.0a.  I'm assuming your using the ASIO on the F410. So like scooter says, step back to 4.0 & see if that doesn't fix the problem.

i had probs with 4.0g and the auto split, maybe i will test that out again

i totally fucked my laptop trying to wipe the discs again and install 2kpro, so i did another fresh install of xp pro last night

yes it is the 410 asio drivers im trying to use, and il def try using 4.0 and see if that works

thanks guys and +T

The crashing when auto split is engaged is deffinately a bug in 4.0g.  Sometimes it happens after the 1st split & sometimes it doesn't.  The only thing you can do is to just let it keep running if it gives you an error message.  It will still be recording even after the error message.  Once you shut it down the file's header won't be written properly, so you'll have to open it as a RAW to retrieve the data.  Once you've got it back open save as .wav with the proper bit depth & sampling rate.

wow, so when i was messing with that in 4.0g, and i thought the info after the split was blank, it wasnt? i just needed to do that and get it back?

[caymanreview]

so now im in beetween a rock and a hard place you might say

the only versions of wavelab i have are 4.0g with the auto split error,a nd 5.0a with the asio driver issue...

this is just great!

edit:

can any of you guys help me out with a "demo" of any other version?

[sygdwm]

i think i may have a copy of 4.0c somewhere. if you reallly need it, ill dig it up.

[caymanreview]

please do, i know 4.0c has an error in the dithering, but i can do all my editing resample/dither with 5.0a

the thing is, i need it for friday night!

[caymanreview]

well...

i have found that i have copies of 4.0g and 4.0f and apparently both have issues with the auto split becuase in testign this morning i encountered errors with both

im thinking il run 4.0g and just run 24/48... so i should be all set since the asio drivers work perfect with 4.0f+g and at 24/48 i shouldnt have anything go past 2 gigs

what happens with wavelab when it hits 2+gigs and doesnt have auto split on?

[jmerin]

i have wavelab 4.0c, pm me if you want it.   i used wave lav 5.0 for the first time, last night thanks again for 5.0

thanks

It will just stop recording with an error stating file has become too large to continue recording.

I've experienced the same problems trying to use the FW 1814 through Wavelab 5 Demo trying to use the ASIO drivers. Since I'm looking to multitrack live...and the autosplit is very necessary to what I'm doing (4 tracks 24/96)...I'm wondering if you ever found a resolution to the problem. 

[caymanreview]

i never got any version to work correctly with my setup with everything like its supposed to be!

i was using a fw410 and a vaio laptop, and had so amy problems i got out of laptop taping alltogether!

[caymanreview]

i have 5.0a if you want it, to dither with

[mmedley.]

If you wanna run ASIO you need to ditch WaveLab. Only shortcoming of that program....maybe a few others...

Sony Vegas 5 works perfect with ASIO and has support for large files (i.e >2gb) using .w64 files which can then be edited in Vegas or SoundForge and then you can  use WaveLab for anything else you may need.

[Steve J]

Tried Vegas and it did not function the way I needed it to (i.e., 4 discreet tracks in real time using the FW 1814). Also, I wasn't looking for the video capabilities of Vegas. But for this ASIO situation, Wavelab works very well for my needs. I've had no problems recording 24/96 in two track.

There is an update to the ASIO drivers for Wavelab...but unfortunately you have to have the full version of Wavelab 5 with the CD in order to apply the patch (and I'm just running the demo right now). I'm checking with a couple different sources to determine if the patch works in this situation or not. Be a bummer to plunk down the $$ for Wavelab 5 to discover it won't work even with the patch.
