All of a sudden when I boot up Logic, it says no ASIO Driver. What is ASIO, where do I get it, and why do it need it? 'presheateit

You've probably accidentally checked the ASIO box in <Audio> menu <Audio Hardware and Drivers> where you select the drivers required for your soundcard. If you DID in fact use an ASIO driver previously, maybe you accidentally deleted the file (which lives in the folder called <ASIO Drivers> on the same level as your Logic app.

Or B) have you recently installed an Audio interface (hdw and sw), checked the ASIO box in Menu > Audio > Audio Hardware and Drivers, and tried to work in Logic without doing anything else? If it's "B", you skipped the step in Audio Hardware and Drivers where you click in the window labeled Driver and, from the drop down list, select the driver corresponding to your device. (Many a newbie has seen "No Driver" in that little window and failed to realize that it conceals both a drop down list and the obligation to select the correct item in it.) If it's "A", it is possible that in a parameter box for some Audio Object, you (or some unknown evildoer) set the Dev parameter to ASIO. You should restore the Dev setting to what works with your audio interface, or delete the audio object if it is unused. Regards, Bob Penick

Look in your backups (you *DO* backup?) or else download the relevant ASIO driver from the hardware suppliers site. Or maybe you weren't even using one? What soundcard do you use on what system?
