Here you are able to set the playback device you would like MixPad to use. Open the Options dialog (File -> Options.) and click on the General tab. If you don't have an ASIO capable sound card then you should choose Windows Core Audio as your playback and recording option.Īnother option is to install the driver from ASIO4ALL which provides a layer over the regular soundcard, allowing it to be used as an ASIO device by software such as MixPad. ASIO will also allow you to play and record from multiple channels of the same device. ASIO and Windows Core Audio will provide the best performance and the lowest possible latency and offer the greatest accuracy when synchronizing recordings. NCH recommends ASIO or Windows Core Audio for both playback and recording. MixPad currently features support for playback to ASIO, DirectSound, Windows Core Audio and MME devices and recording from ASIO, Windows Core Audio and MME devices.
