Mac Audio Cards with an ASIO Driver
An audio card with an ASIO driver is your best option if it is available. ASIO does
not guarantee low latency, but it allows for it if the audio card designers take ad-
vantage of its possibilities.
• Using a card via an ASIO driver can give latency figures as low as 3ms.
• When you use ASIO, only one program at a time can access the card.
• Note that to use ASIO you need to add an ASIO driver file to the ASIO Driv-
ers folder in your Reason folder.
If several program take advantage of ASIO this means you will have to dupli-
cate this driver to each program’s ASIO Driver folder.
✪ More information about ASIO can be found on Steinberg Media
Technologies’ web pages, www.steinberg.net.
