Then anything not needed for audio analysis like vocals or synths could be bypassed giving more accurate peaks for the frequencies driving events. This would give far more flexibilty to the function and allow better integration with complex audio setups with laptops, decks and live musicians. Plus ASIO has far lower latency and better quality than WDM, and is supported by all the high quality soundcards needed to route audio in a live situation.
bump! (nearly 2 years on...)
Seriously though, are there any plans for asio support in the near future? The latency caused by using wdm/mme is probably my only real problem with resolume, everything else i can work around... Like a straying lover, I've even been starting to look towards max/msp just for this "feature" which really is a bit of a must-have for any app attempting any audio to video... its like resolume is part deaf (as well as part def)..
is it really so hard to introduce?
. Anyway ASIO devices are supported because their latency is unmatched, if you have one you should be able to select it in the Audio Output Device combobox.
