Hi,

I bought a used Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 and used Komplete Kontrol by Bobdule.
Once the software installation is complete, I come across the settings interface. Every time I want to select Asio, the Windows waiting wheel appears and it crashes.



I'm on the latest firmware. I uninstalled all Native Instrument software (Bobbule source only), reinstalled the MK2 drivers, and nothing works.

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

do you actually have ASIO capable audio interface? onboard audio is not

 

Which DAW do you use and which audio interface do you use? Windows 10?

ASIO4ALL Official Home - Download https://asio4all.org

 

Seems it is internal audio of a laptop, as it reads "AI Noise-Canceling Speaker" in the picture above. You need a proper audio interface to use ASIO drivers.

 

- Behringer U-Control UCA222 - 23 EUR
- Miditech Audiolink III - 30 EUR
- ESI Maya 22 USB - 39 EUR
- Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen - 116 EUR

 

Oh shit... you're True. I have to buy an audio interface

 

Thanks, do you also recommand native instrument audio interface ?

 

Hello Romano_the_one, NI also has good, inexpensive audio faces in its program!

With the Komplete Audio 1 and Komplete Audio 2, Native Instruments delivers two rock-solid audio interfaces for (ambitious) beginners, which impress with decent technology and good sound, but also with an extensive software package as a bonus. In terms of price, they are roughly on a par with the competition, such as the Presonus AudioBox USB 96, the Steinberg UR12, Tascam US-2×2, Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen, M-Audio M-Track 2x2M or the Mackie Onyx Producer 2×2.

With the extremely large competition in this segment, which often only differs in nuances, the software package may even be the deciding factor in the end. If you don't have to count every cent, you should definitely choose the larger Komplete Audio 2, which is simply the better choice in terms of technology with the plus in terms of the microphone preamps, stereo recording and the symmetrical output.

If you're good with 1 mic and 1 instrument, then ESI neva uno is good cheap choice.. usb-c, low latency, small form factor, loopback for internal sampling..

Worth noting that super cheap interfaces have no drivers or really shitty drivers, so you might be better downloading ASIO4ALL and giving it a try. Otherwise, stick with something with decent driver support (I highly recommend Steinberg/Yamaha).

Edit: to elaborate further, an audio interface is NOT a requirement for ASIO. Any Windows PC can run ASIO using ASIO4ALL. Interfaces with really shitty drivers are just as annoying as using ASIO4ALL, if not more sometimes. The pros of buying an interface with good ASIO drivers are reduced latency and some quality of life changes that are hard to explain until you compare ASIO4ALL with a decent driver that works out of the box with no configuration.

New sexy RME 802 FS AE and ARC

 

How much does it cost?

 

RME FF 802 is boring interface, sure the new all-black limited edition looks nice, but to be honest when I had both old UFX and FF802, I sold the FF802 because it lacked digital gain control on everything,
RME ARC is also fairly disappointing, because it supports only few functions, if someone made full control bridge for something like legacy Presonus Faderport, I'd gladly use it
