Well to be honest, I ended up with a regular job so that helps!
You still in Carolina Beach? I used to gig there in the 90s until hurricane (Fran I think it was) destroyed where we gigged.

To be totally honest, I worked in a good bit of music journalism for a while and PR. That went well with gigs and so on.
Yes, back at the Beach for the winter. But the weather has been so stink here lately that I'd rather go back to my other fave beach -- Cocoa Beach. Warmer, more laid back there and closer to bigger culture ... only about an hour from Orlando.
You do any beach band or shag stuff back then when here? Still goes on but economy has been hard on so many here. Fair amount of broke metal players around these days. I do at least 10% free studio work for these starving bands here ... was a great way to learn Reaper when I quit Cubase ... and no one cares what DAW you use when you provide free services!

Been to Cocoa beach once or twice, have a friend who lives there, stark comparison to here for sure.

No, it was a basic circuit cover band though at the time we covered a lot of ground.. anything from funk to disco to nine inch nails. I can't remember where we played there though it has been so long, we also played Wilmington, Wrightsville beach (Wallys?), Atlantic beach and so on. Good times except for the no money part.

Asheville the hot spot in NC now. Even Chapel Hill has gone a touch sleepy of late. NIN in that mix. I like that.

Interesting, as I just searched this entire thread for that quote, and the only one who said it is you.
Interesting that you would hear, in your mind, someone saying those words, when no one has said them outside your mind, in fact.

What's interesting more than DAW technology, is your psychological condition where:
1. serr makes excuses for a design flaw, apparently on the part of the ASIO designers. Serr suggests that wanting improvements to ASIO is associated with be being sheltered, spoiled, presumably lazy, and even unskilled photographically.
2. I rebut his nonsense, still without accusing Reaper of any wrongdoing.
3. You get ants in your pants and compulsively defend Reaper, against some accusation that was all in your head.
Can't suggest an innovation on this or any other forum without upsetting the fanboys. Innovation is heresy, for the very idea implies that the fanboys' girlfriend (computer program, or in this case, ASIO standard) has room for improvement.

We are more interested in your technical and non-psychological analysis of how Reaper can/should do this alignment automatically and how you propose that should be done.
Nice try though, I'll give you that.

FTFY, because you continue attributing to me statements which I've never made.
I type "ASIO", but you persistently read it as "Reaper".

Please don't mis-quote me like that! Make your own arguments to support your ideas without twisting around my words please!
I don't even use ASIO (or have any microsoft software of any kind at present actually*).
I think my analogies were fine.
A novice picture taker would get very bad results with a manual camera with no training but would get what they were after with a 'point & click' model. But for them to call the manual camera broken or that is has a bug would not be accurate.
I really don't think there's any disrespect from pointing out someone needs training when they aren't aware of how something really works. The point is not belittling the novice. It's to illustrate that a normal intelligent person without specific training or instruction will not just intuitively jump into something complex.
The car analogy is meant to illustrate that someone with a different background can indeed be aloof to things that are considered general knowledge in other circles.
Finally, I did give an exact specific example of digital equipment patched together in such a way that the system itself cannot "see" the latency from connections upstream and needs to be "told". There are many devices we use for audio that need to be configured correctly and don't have modern "smart ports" or some such to enable you to automate everything. It's not a design flaw.
*Oops, spoke too soon. I see I installed this Microsoft.NET thingy that was apparently needed for this Windows only AudioMuxer app I decided I needed to check out. But I run it in OSX. And I digress...

So you are avoiding actually answering anything about your suggestion at all costs because you simply do not know; that's cool. We should probably have this moved to the lounge where it is now better suited because this isn't really the place for all the psyco remarks.
But yes, some of the issues are because the DAW, any native DAW as I noted further up can't actually determine, hence manual, if they can't and someone makes that distinction, which I might add is a very important one when someone is blaming it on the DAW (again any native DAW), it isn't a fanboy remark, it's a technical one. Simple as that.

Ltl ole me?
#1 - the SC driver reports to the "DAW" the latency and the DAW subsequently accounts for it. In my experience what is reported isn't always correct and a loopback test is the way to know the true latency and to correct for it if needed. My personal exposure to it began with Logic around '98 or '99. The manual test is typically one time only and is sample accurate assuming nothing else changes. Been that way as long as I can remember and always worth performing the test just to be sure.
#2 - Any two disparate devices, lets' assume they are word clock linked and using ADAT for example. There is no way that I know of for Reaper (aka a native DAW) to know where the real starting points for both streams are (if it can, school me, great, I'm all for it). Thusly, the streams are tightly locked but the alignment may be off a few samples and stay off by exactly that amount. In other words they are locked but not aligned before the DAW even sees them AFAIK.
If the DAW (again any native one for pedantic reasons) can know that, they should fix that but from my experience they can't hence the manual adjustment that is required to the post recorded items if both devices are passing recording streams into Reaper (oops the DAW) simultaneously.
I hear plenty of voices in my head, that's where all my good ideas come from but not hearing the ones I'm being blamed for other than all the personal jabs making it difficult to reply accurately at times. That's why the technical part is more fruitful than the psyco stuff.

What Serr said is true, as relates to "novice".
When people use words like that the first impression of some is to see elitism or something when the reality is that digital stuff is very complex and it takes time to really fully grasp all of it. These products are really affordable and everybody has them now so it's common to see people owning $400 audio workstations who don't even know what a bus is yet, let alone yet understand the many different cases or places where latency shows up as being potentially problematic.
It was the same for all of us. Those of us who grew up on analog never worried about latency because analog has no perceptible latency. When we went digital we had to learn about all that like everybody else.
It's not a knock, it just is what it is. For a person to just plug in any random ASIO device and have everything line up perfectly to the sample in every case with no intervention would be an amazing feat of engineering. That they do get as close as they do before we adjust it a little is in itself damn good engineering.
They (software vendors) put the adjustment in there because they already know it's not perfect. As a novice, you might only stumble on those settings and the reasoning behind them if you actually read the manual. But nobody does that.
That's why I chuckled when that question "How are they supposed to know that?" came up. Erhm... by reading the manual and also using basic common sense.

Interfaces should be designed to report the latency they introduce, and then DAW's should be designed to use this information to automate latency compensation in more cases. Anything to contrary just sounds like old guys preaching, "When I was a kid we used slide rules instead of calculators, and we walked through 4 feet of snow 8 miles to school, so you should too."

Where you go wrong is the assumption that doing that, reporting and adjusting automatically, always result in timing accuracy down to many tens of thousands of a second sample accuracy, in a hardware box that cost $200 and a software app not much more expensive than that.
It's supposed to be dead perfect because.... why exactly?
It's off a tiny bit. So what? Adjust it and move on to more important things.
Maybe worry about stuff you can't so easily correct, not so much stuff you can. Or not.
Humans can't even detect intervals less than x milliseconds. Translate that value (look it up) to samples and tell me how many samples you need at 88.1k to reach a point where humans can even hear that interval.

I don't think anyone would disagree with you. Anything that gets in the way of the music should be addressed and solved.
However, "should" doesn't help anyone right now. People still have to learn how to use the tools they have.

Absolutely!
The part you're not acknowledging is that interfaces are designed to plug digital signals into. Digital audio streams that have no sync (as in start point of audio stream) information. Sample rate clock yes, but no sync. We build studio "systems" using such gear. The DAW gives us manual overrides to line that stuff up. It's really as simple as that.
If we're talking about just plugging a single audio interface into a computer then I agree with you 100% and the discrepancy raises my eyebrows as well.
I'll risk another analogy with you. You're asking for the driverless car. People are working on it but it's not a common thing yet.
Seen that TNG episode where Picard just tells the computer what tracks to record/play with his flute thing? We're not quite there yet.
Old guy preaching up the past? Hell no! I find this new technology very liberating. In the past, just making the machines behave was an art form sometimes. Now the creativity can be directly channeled into the music with no distractions.

I've never recorded a singer and on playback they said...
"Hey! That sounds 175 samples late! Your daw is broken!"
Maybe if I record Superman one day that might happen.
But i still align my system because I want it to be as close to analog as reasonably possible, the playback against the cue signals.

Slightly OT but just to be clear and helpful as possible, it's one of those things we verify, set and forget as needed. To be more clear, it isn't one of those things where I'd sit around snobbing that I hear something special when it is off by 70 samples or so. However, I do have enough of my own timing problems playing, I need all the alignment help I can get.
Seriously though, in cases such as this, as in something we can very easily control, I simply do that and I never need to even consider the hearing part. IE: I just calibrate what needs to be calibrated and don't have to get into all the GS type minutia. Not directed at this thread just the general benefit of doing so.

I wouldn't know how to provide such poor service to my customers as telling them, "So what? Adjust it." It's easy to advocate poor customer-service when it's not your company on the line; actual developers who tried "so-what'ing" their customers wouldn't be able to compete with developers who "I'll-try-to-save-you-time" their customers. My customers don't have as much time to waste as you seem to have.

I _would_ agree if I hadn't recorded a pretty fast muted guitar pattern in a pretty fast tune once. It was SO off, oh lord :/
Besides that: are you NEVER re-amping or the like? Then blend the re-amped sound with the original?

Huh? You can't be that dense.
I meant adjust the record alignment in the software - for your system - so it doesn't do that anymore, so you can move on to the next minutia jihad. Takes all of 5 minutes.
The developers give you facilities inside their software to correct that for any hardware, what else should they do, take all of the device mfg's to Guantanamo Bay and water board them so they all get it right? "If your device reporting is off by one sample we will hang you."
Aside from that, ASIO can't "report" and correct for the latency of an external converters latency anyway? Not everyone is using a USB audio card. People install their hardware, take measurements of the offset, line everything up, make the correction, and never think about it again.
This is way beyond silly now. Just align your system so the timing is right and let it go. Gosh. Do you expect a software developer to come and do that for you?
If your "customers" knew that you - the audio engineer? - didn't even know how to correctly align your own studio system they might not be your customers.

I expect developers who tell their customers "just-spend-another-five-minutes-and-let-it-go" to lose out to developers who tell their customers "I-just-developed-a-way-to-save-you-five-minutes-of-time".
I get it: Your time is cheap. Five minutes of your time is worth $0. What you don't seem to understand is that other people's time is worth more.
I sweated over every second of my customers' time, and as a result I was able to retire in my 20's; but you keep telling me I'm looking at things wrong. Who are you to tell people not to worry about 5 minutes? Just some jerkoff whose time is worthless.

You are truly special.
It took me - days - to fully setup my studio, this last one, weeks for the brick and mortar one before that, so the 5 minutes it took to align my daw's audio placement was like... well... five minutes. I did all of that - before - I opened for business, not after.
But carry on. I hope you get what you're after, whatever that is.
Go HotChick! You Rock Girl! Assuming you are female.
Best of luck to you on your sample accuracy jihad. Send Cockos an angry email. i'm sure they'll get right on that.
Ivan, you're right. We've been successfully trolled.

Best of luck to you on your sample accuracy jihad. Send Cockos an angry email. i'm sure they'll get right on that.
Ivan, you're right. We've been successfully trolled.

It would take a special kind of idiocy to imagine that I'm expressing anger towards Cockos.
You haven't been trolled, you've just taken to stupidly telling strangers that 5 minutes of their time doesn't matter, and you don't like the response. Go on telling the internet how cheap 5 minutes of your own time is, but you are only foolish telling strangers their time is worth as little as yours.

How much is your hourly rate for being nasty on forums?
You're screwing yourself out of a fortune if you're doing it for free
Why not be productive and actually do something about creating a new digital audio protocol and getting developers and manufacturers to adopt it?

Interesting, as it was the "Shut up about your 5 minutes and go make some music" gang who initiated the nastiness.

I don't think I've been reading the same thread.
Anyway, if you come up with anything productive to do about it I'll lend my support, for what it's worth. Even though I'm on Mac and don't have to deal with ASIO, anything that helps get the technology out of the way of the music is a good cause in my book

However, I do have enough of my own timing problems playing, I need all the alignment help I can get.
Seriously though, in cases such as this, as in something we can very easily control, I simply do that and I never need to even consider the hearing part. IE: I just calibrate what needs to be calibrated and don't have to get into all the GS type minutia. Not directed at this thread just the general benefit of doing so.

Actually my honest reaction isn't so much "Hey, what the heck it didn't offset perfect out of the box!"
More like "Oh, they have automatic correction stuff built into the driver now? Huh... I'll have to check that out. I just do it manually when setting up a new system."
Takes an hour to go through all the sample rates and combinations.
Kind of fun in a geeky way.
Wait... Hot chicks don't like geeks... I see what's going on here!
It took me 2 weeks of tweaking to get the cartridge aligned in my turntable a number of years ago! Progress!

It's one of the few areas of Florida I like. I spend a lot of time in Jacksonville, Melbourne, and points in between. I'm down there in April again, as a matter of fact.

Getting paid extra in the champaign room doesn't make you qualified for much, audio wise.
My time goes for about $200 an hour. Does that qualify me to have an opinion?

It qualifies you to have an opinion about how much your own 5 minutes are worth, and whether you yourself should quit talking on forums about products and just stfu and make music; but it doesn't qualify you to tell anyone to else to stfu and go make some music.

You would know about extra payments in the champaign room wouldn't you.
