Steinberg do not alow the ASIO SDK to be redistributed (as required by open source projects). The reason for Audacity's lack of ASIO support is licensing, not technical. For playback from PC, I found the HiFi Driver and ASIO Bridge from VB Audio lets me re-route PC audio out to channels 3 & 4 on the K-Mix, Leaving Channels 1 & 2 free for instruments and Mics. Since writing that, I discovered my McMillen K-Mix digital interface mixer facilities alow routing of inputs 3 & 4 to the main outputs on 1 and 2 so can use the default MME Audacity build after all. Here's a brief blog post explaining why I needed ASIO and it includes a screen shot. So While Audacity still works really well for simple recording tasks, you might want to eventually switch to a full DAW with AISO support. For example, the peak meters always show channels 1 & 2 and to record channels 3 & 4 requires recording 1, 2, 3 & 4. Unfortunately, it turns out the Audacity ASIO build has limited multi channel support. If you do use this to build Audacity with ASIO support you must not redistribute it due to the ASIO SDK licensing terms - see below. A script checks everything is installed and builds a 64 bit release version of Audacity for you. The instructions for the few manual steps should be straight forward to follow. To reduce this requirement, the instructions provided here make it easy to build your own version of Audacity with ASIO support on a Windows PC. While it is possible to build your own Audacity with ASIO support this usually requires considerable technical skills. Another common reason is to take advantage of the low latency or multiple channels supported by ASIO. That said, common reasons for needing ASIO are using digital audio or music equipment that only comes with ASIO drivers, such as Behringer mixers (which actually use the ASIO4ALL ASIO WDM bridging driver). Fortunately, Audiacity's standard MME support is fine for most uses. However, unlike many more advanced DAWs, it doesn't support Windows ASIO drivers "out of the box". The Audacity program is the "go to" solution for many audio recording and editing tasks. Audacity 3.0.0 introduced a new project file format so you will hit compatability problems if you try to use Audacity 2.x.x to open projects saved with this version.** But you can build your own and this guide makes it easy for you to do so. Note, if you have come here from a video the instructions for installing the tools have now changed.ĭue to licensing rules Audacity cannot provide a prebuilt version with ASIO support. Build your own Audacity for Windows with ASIO driver support
