ASIO (Audio Stream Input/Output)

ASIO, or Audio Stream Input/Output, is a technology that helps computers manage audio data for professional music and sound production. It allows software to communicate directly with audio hardware, reducing delays and improving sound quality. This is particularly important for musicians and audio engineers who need precise timing when recording or mixing sounds. By bypassing standard audio pathways that add latency, ASIO provides a more efficient and reliable experience for creating and manipulating audio in real-time.
