Are you game for testing the ASIO drivers for the Rock Frog?
I am not directly familiar with the unit, but can offer general instructions. Most of this stuff follows similar protocol.
If it doesn't work, you can change it back, and try WDM.
There is another alternative, ASIO4All, which wraps the WDM drivers, and can make them perform better.
However, if a device has native ASIO drivers, it is generally best to use those.

unfortunately the ASIO driver wont pick any sound up. MME is the only thing giving out sound.

edit: well it shows on there that there is a signal but no sound is coming out on the ASIO. The WDM shows no signal nor any sound coming out.

Sometimes, when you change driver mode, you need to re-select your I/O in Options>Audio>Drivers.
In the Options>Audio>General screen, make sure the Rock Frog is selected for both Recording and Playback timing master.
Also, the sound will not go to your computer speakers. You will need to monitor your sound from the headphone output of the Rock Frog.
Verify your settings.
With a track armed, does the meter show activity?

edit: well it shows on there that there is a signal but no sound is coming out on the ASIO. The WDM shows no signal nor any sound coming out.

Did you close, and restart GTP3?

the meter for ASIO shows activity, I did make sure recording and playback is rock frog. The headphone output on the rock frog is being occupied by my amplifier, that is essentially my speaker. Right now on MME I get a clear sound now, but I still get clipping and delay. The sound is clear and it doesnt echo anymore. the meter is reaching max with just a simple strum but I get roughly a 1 second delay.

That delay will be virtually impossible to get rid of using MME.
Let's try WDM.
Select WDM. Close and restart GTP3. Run the wave profiler.
Verify your I/O settings.
Anything?

when I check the I/O setting on the audio driver check, it shows its using rockfrog, but when the progam starts it says that the rock frog driver was unable to be used and it shows that there is no input in use.


edit: seems like ASIO driver is going to be best to cut back the delay and clipping the max latency. Only thing needing to do is getting the sound to appear with the activity on the meter.

He is going to need a better soundcard and a faster CPU to get rid of the latency.

pete, you'd best get back to washing the dishes. Maybe the waitresses will share their tips.
WN, keep working it. The signal is getting in, you just need to get it out.
Unfortunately, I can't see what you see. We may be missing something small, but important.
It's possible the Frog isn't quite what it looks like on paper, but let's not write it off just yet.
Step away from it for a bit, or sleep on it. Steve or Doc may pick up on something I'm missing.
Keep the faith.

alrighty, I'll probably sleep on it for tonight. I'll wait for steve or docs response tomorrow. thanks for the help though =D

Robert, maybe you should try to be more polite and not be so rude. I don't believe that you have a rock frog do you?
You also never purchased Guitar Tracks have you? How long have you been running the demo of it? You'd think that you would have bought the real version by now.

The symptoms that are shown here are an incompatibilty to the rock frog and the classic inefficient GT code latency. More CPU and a better soundcard would help.
