I don't know which ASIO driver I'm using, maybe it came with the interface
(I selected "ASIO:Focusrite USB 2.0 Audio Driver" in the dialog). I tried
various delays with no callbacks and now I get no distortion with a delay
of 11 or more and block size 64. With Delay less than 11 the audio is
chopped up.
Without callbacks, I get clicks and dropouts occasionally if I do things
with the mouse. That's why I assumed it was the better choice. (Doesn't
audio processing always use callbacks anyway? Otherwise the program must
sit in a loop serving samples. What callbacks are these?)
