Working with a friend recording original music he wants me to add lead guitar to. I hooked up my Blackstar AMPED 2 guitar amplifier to his Focusrite Clarett +2Pre audio interface. He’s been working with Sonar on a Windows 11 workstation for years and uses the WASAPI driver.

However, I noticed a very noticeable degree of latency when I tried adding my guitar track. A bit of research indicated that the ASIO driver is much better for latency control than WASAPI, so we selected it in our preferences. Doing so unfortunately didn’t show us to see and select his Focusrite audio interface as the track’s input. Only ASIO4ALL show up as options.

How can we get past this Catch-22?
