Default Asio Toolbar Button

Is there way to make a toolbar button that when you press it, the panel that allows you to adjust the asio latency pops up?

I have certain projects where during recording, I want the lowest latency possible, then during mixing, I adjust it up. I just hate having to go to the preferences every time...

That would be a really useful feature for Reaper. As far as I know, it's not possible at the moment.

Not quite the same thing, but...

If your audio interface puts an icon in the windows control panel, then you can make a shortcut to that (hold down right mouse button + drag the icon to the desktop).

You can pin the shortcut to the windows taskbar (open it and right click on icon in win7 or vista), or drag it to the quicklaunch bar thing (win xp). I think you can do something similar if you have a mac.

Then you can open up the audio interface panel from the taskbar whenever you want.

Yeah.. My Interface has a seperate asio latency panel, but I'll have to check to see if it can be brought up individually by making a shortcut on the windows start menu bar...

Thanks for the tip!

Maybe I should recommend this for V4!

Download asio4all. The icon stays on your windows toolbar.

You know that you can shorten the procedure "Options -> Preferences -> Device" by just clicking in the right upper corner on the line which shows the current settings? So that's a button...

I have a dedicated ASIO device. Don't need it... The ASIO drivers for my card work amazingly well...

Even with dedicated ASIO drivers for a dedicated recording card such as an EMU 0404 192K?

I doubt it. ASIO4ALL works great for things like combining different hardware into one big device but it won't engage features that may be exclusive to your proprietary audio driver.

It passes audio in and out, that's pretty much it. Any other feature specific to your proprietary driver won't be available to it... like the hardware monitoring of the UC driver and my FSMobile. Not that it matters in Reaper which doesn't support it either, but it also doesn't support ASIO DM.

Unless your paired driver is just plain crappy, you're usually better off using it with that hardware.

Hi Silar, if you want to make a button you can, and assign the action "audio device configuration" to it.
