I have been reading about optimizing my hardware and settings for low latency, glitch free tracking and mixing for my S1 3 rig. One thing repeated often is to make sure that you are using a low latency ASIO driver for my AudioBox iTwo. I am registered and have access to my downloads for S1 and my audio interface but I cannot find a place to download a driver or anywhere in the software to verify if I have this proper driver. Can anyone help me?

My AB F/W is 1.32. My AB driver in device manager is 3.34.0.0. My Universal Control version is 1.8.3.40882.

Thanks,

George

The current version of UC for the AudioBox iTwo is:

Universal Control v3.2.0.56558

You can download it here:

Before you install a new driver you should perform a proper uninstall:

So downloading the latest version of Universal Control then installs the latest driver for AudioBox iTwo? Is it automatically an ASIO driver for low latency?

Thanks,

When you are using the iTwo together with Studio One there's a good chance that you are already using the driver that allows the lowest latency, even if it doesn't say ASIO. Studio One will recognize PreSonus interfaces and use per default the best driver option available for that interface.

What you want to avoid, if possible, with all your other PC audio (apps) is the WDM driver. Set your default system audio to use the iTwo's ASIO driver and do the same from audio apps that have their own audio interface settings menu. UC does offer WDM channel settings but (imho) only as a last resort.

I cant tell what type of driver that I am using. The only place that I can find a reference to a driver for the AudioBox iTwo is in the Windows device manager - 3.34.0.0. Is there anywhere else to look?

I run the AudioBox ASIO driver IN ADDITION TO the Windows driver for the motherboard Realtek audio. I have all Windows sounds and default audio mapped to the Realtek driver. I have all of my music software mapped to the ASIO driver. The ASIO driver installs with the Universal Control app. You can temporarily switch Windows to the ASIO driver when you want to listen to something (like a YT video) with higher quality audio.

Use the little speaker icon in the lower-right of the taskbar.

Left-click brings up a simple audio source selector.

Right-click brings up a menu where you can open the Sound settings or access the Volume mixer.

That creates a potential problem with apps that don’t have an audio interface/driver menu of their own, like most internet browsers. These apps use the system’s default audio settings and, If your system’s sound card/chip doesn’t support ASIO, that will then be a WDM driver.

Oh, and mute system sounds (an audio workstation must).
