Echo Audiofire.

Half your luck Doc! Could do with a week off myself....

Yeah it's a bit weird regarding the Echo-driver vs the asio4all, but from what I have read this is the case with a number of interfaces. I have been tracking with the Echo driver, and then performing the sets with the Asio4all - I get about 3.5ms in and 3.5ms out with the asio4all driver without any pops and clicks and good cpu use!

One thing for sure though, the Echo sounds really nice indeed! For the money I am pretty darn impressed with the thing.

7ms is awesome! If you're getting that low a latency and still able to use Echo's converters, you are golden my friend.

Hell I may check out asio4all on my system as well.

Yep, I can say that I do not notice any delay at all even when the Ableton set is really pushing my machine hard.

I would recomend trying the latest a4all driver for sure Doc. You can switch from that and the Echo driver on the fly without any trouble at all as well.

Sounds interesting...will say in the past with ASIO4ALL I havbe had terrible problems with latency and compatibility with multi soundcards...to the point I had to reinstall OS and Cubase etc, all so be warned.


On the other had ASIO4ALL is a very useful project but I eprsonally feel it is designed more for onboard soundcards and the lower end market. Perhaps theyve had updates since i last tried.

Have people tried it with ie Echo soundcard and the Virus as a soundcard?

Yep, that's what I thought too, but after reading on a number of forums that people were using it with great success I thought it was worth a shot. From what I have read it works as a sort of translator which works from the original drivers. Pretty much every interface was talked about except RME (no real need to lower the RMEs latency from 1.5ms though right).

When installing I was fully prepared for a complete reformat, but it installed perfectly on my studio machine and the machine used for live stuff.

I don't have a TI, but I would be reluctant to try it. The TI is a fragile beast when it comes to drivers and compatibility from all reports.
