here we go again, asio4all destroys the world...

IMX, ASIO4ALL doesn't always destroy the world, but it doesn't always save it either

ASIO4All may or may not work. I just spent the afternoon trying to use Fuse and took it off. Not only would it not start but a couple of times and then it just hang there saying it is loading up. I have a Mustang III V.2 amp and will use the headphone out to record which disconnects the speaker and simulates the amp cabinet and speaker, but the line out of the amp ( low impedence) for hooking up to a mixer board or other input to amplify the amp I guess does not disconnect the speaker on that amp.

I had an original CyberTwin years ago.  When I recorded via line outs, I plugged headphones in to silence the speakers.  Do the Mustangs silence the line outs when 'phones are plugged in?
 
I'm trying to figure out why you would record the headphone jack with one of these amps.

ASIO4ALL does destroy the world. I look forward to seeing the developers on trial at The Hague.

Yup no middle ground me :)

This is what happens when someone digs up and hijacks an old thread instead of starting a new one. 
 
The OP was asking about the use of asio for his Mustang amp, the hijack is now opened the asio4all can of worms. 
There's only one answer to that, buy a proper audio interface with good ASIO drivers, end of thread...

yes, and if he doesn't have a dedicated audio device (or budget to buy one) he may well get very good enough results using asio4all, as some of us actually have :-)
i don't know why people are so touchy about this?

I maintain an open mind...
 

lolarama, but it was a genuine question

No one said ASIO4ALL is "globally bad" and was pretty specific of the situations where it may become an issue (Dok's humor aside, of course).

This is probably a dumb question, but is there a way to get a better ASIO on my laptop than ASIO 4ALL?

I haven't bothered reading the zombie thread you revived or the recent posts but it's not a stupid question at all IMO.
 
Best option... use a proper ASIO interface... of course.
 
Now beyond that for ages ASIO4ALL has been the "in a pinch" solution... especially on laptops, for years. It sucks but it sucks less than the alternatives and has made massive improvements for me on my laptop when just screwing around and trying things out many times.
 
NOT a good alternative to a proper ASIO interface though... even though I said that... but it needs to be stressed.
 
HOWEVER we are currently in a new age where Microsoft has supposedly done some serious work on their own internal audio management shiz. I am not on Win10 but apparently Win10 is now able to get some decent results for audio stuff using the WDM driver mode (or whatever).
 
So essentially the stuff that ASIO4ALL was using to make it work better than nothing at all (it would wrap itself around those Windows audio driver and trick the programs into working better) can now, supposedly, work well on their own.
 
I have NOT tested this. I am NOT on Win10. I probably TOTALLY mangled the technical aspect of all that (not a tech and just barely paying attention)... BUT the reports we have gotten from the Bakers based on their tests (it was in one of the eZines a while back) and what the MS people were saying at NAMM this year indicate that maybe... just maybe, the default Windows audio drivers have finally gotten good enough that ASIO4ALL may no longer be necessary.
 
Do your own research on it though because I am not totally boned up on the issue because... well I have a proper ASIO interface and am not on Win10. I only have a passing interest and wanted to maybe point you in the right direction based on my limited understanding of the subject.
 
Cheers and welcome to the forum.

Might be an idea for a forum host to consider splitting the thread, the two "starter" posts are really about two different things and there's an 18 month gap in the middle of it...
