I imagine that will work since DirectSound and mme work but the latency is horrible as far as using that WDM driver for anything! As I said, I use ASIO because I can get my latency down to 2.1 ms. The other drivers are 15 and up ms. I can't work with those kind of latencys. Mixbus and Sonar get along great on the laptop so I guess I will use it there for mixing and mastering. That Saffire 6 USB only has 2 ins and 4 outs. No live recording there! I have never tried using the Roland Studios on that laptop. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and try them on the laptop to see if I have the same issues. It can't be anymore trouble than I have now. Famous last words, huh? LOL
Harrison did contact me back and I have to say Ben over there has given me one of the best support experiences I have had in a long time! He makes you feel as if they really care about your problem and they SINCERELY wish to make their product the best they can. Even if it is in small baby steps. Anyway, we emailed back and forth a few times and he said they had even tested on a Octa-Capture which I don't think is much different from the Studio models. Anyway, he has not seen any issues so far. I asked him if they had tested between Sonar and Mixbus with the Octa-Capture and my response was that I had exceeded their abilities to troubleshoot with my own troubleshooting but they would still keep working on the problem. We will stay in touch. Hats off to Harrison support.
I didn't mean to get long winded but as I posted I would let you all know if I happen to stumble on the magic combination. It has to be a setting in either the programs or a Windows 10 setting somewhere. They all worked fine for a long time and then about the time windows 10 came out even before I installed 10 everything went haywire.
Keep you posted. Thanks, guys.
