#Mme vs wdm drivers#

So if you export a file using the ASIO driver and the same file using the MME-WDM driver, do they sound different? Also, if you reverse the phase of one export, do you get a null file when you sum it with the other? MME or WDM gives more of that infamous plastic sound doesn't it? I can almost hear some engineer saying that it's actually useful for something.Ĭarlsaff wrote on Fri, 04 November 2005 20:52 I actually liked the sound of the RME digi cards better. After checking all my gear and found nothing wrong I tried installing the old ASIO driver and surprisingly everything sounded good again!

#Mme vs wdm drivers#

I had upgraded the drivers in the morning and really looked forward to give them a go, but after 2 hours of session work I had to stop because for some reason everything sounded a lot worse than it used to. I once wrote to Lynx about why the new AES16 ASIO drivers sounded bad compared to the old AES16 ASIO drivers, they of course totally denied it could ever happen. Provided they don't get hypnotised by 'the powerful voice' of 'THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE'. Maybe the ones that have a Masterlink(or a burner) available could to this test and post what they hear. I've done enough of this to have a basic understanding of what happens sound wise. You record to the Masterlink's hard disc via AES/EBU and then again via S/PDIF and then again via Toslink from the external A/D (if the Masterlink has a toslink input).

You have a Masterlink and an external A/D converter.
