got monitors set up today, interface, keyboard....

I got a pair of KRK Rokit-8 monitors. I set them up, plugged in the UX-2 and after a bit of trial anderror I got them working, they sound good to me.
 
As for the UX-2 I could choose between ASIO or WDM. The lowest RTL for ASI was 18+ uS. However with WDM I could get it to play well at 3 uS but went with 5 uS. It would play at 2 uS and 44 samples but had a few clicks, none at 3 or 5 though. 3 was IIRC 88 samples and 5 uS was a little under 125 uS. I also plugged in an O2 keyboard controller and again after a bit of trial and error got it to play well with Deminsion Pro.
I had the DPC latency checker running during much of this and it stayed in the "safe zone" mostly around 100. I did not doanything to Norton nor did I go offline. I will try recording tomorrow and will go offline when I do.
I'll let you know how it goes. I'll try a couple of audio and midi tracks and see how the latency/dropout situation goes.
It may be Thursday because first I am going to tryto get the R16 working right.
 
Does anyone know which interface has the better preamps, the R16 or UX-2?
 
Also... I had one little hitch, don't know if it is a bug but I minimized a project and did someting. When I maximized it again the control bar was blank with only the time numbers visible in the middle of a blank space where the control bar shoud have been. I minimized and maximized again and it came back. Hmmm.
 
Thanks!
 
I have had a good and fun day!!!

    Your setup sounds good. Yep that CB thing is a bug.

    Best
