Audio Interface

ASIO-compatible (Windows) / Core Audio (macOS)

ASIO SUPPORT (WINDOWS)

DAW SOLUTION includes a build script to compile PortAudio with Steinberg ASIO driver support for professional low-latency audio (sub-10ms). Without ASIO, Windows uses WASAPI or DirectSound (30-50ms latency).

macOS users are unaffected — Core Audio provides low-latency by default. Linux users can use JACK for professional-grade latency.
