VistaSound
Windows Vista features new low-latency WaveRT drivers. This driverset makes Windows Vista audio and MIDI devices available for use by MultitrackStudio.
VistaSound Settings window (Professional edition, Pro Plus has four MIDI In and four MIDI Out devices)
In the Audio In Device section you can select the Audio device that will be used for recording.
In the Audio Out Device section you can select the Audio device that will be used for playback.
It's a good idea to use Audio In and Out devices that are on the same soundcard. If they're not their samplerates probably aren't equal. This can be quite a problem, as recorded tracks will slowly go out-of-sync during playback.
VistaSound supports multichannel playback, provided the soundcard driver supports this. Multichannel recording is currently not supported. If you have a multichannel soundcard only the first two channels will be used.
The Latency box determines the time it takes before you hear the sound when playing softsynths live or when using Tape Type Monitoring ('live effects'). You'll hear glitches if this settings is too low. The VistaSound driverset has been designed to not let these glitches end up in the actual recording: If, for example, you record the Guitar Amp effect live using a low latency and you hear glitches while recording, the glitches won't be in the track and it will sound fine when you play it back.
Your soundcard may not support latencies as low as the one you've selected. The actual latency appears in the Studio menu's Devices window.
In the MIDI In Devices section you can select the device that is used for MIDI recording.
In the MIDI Out Devices section you can select the device that is used for MIDI playback. The 'MIDI Mapper' option uses the default Windows MIDI output device.
If you have a hardware control surface you can select the MIDI devices it is connected to in the Control Surface section.
