There Is No Tray Icon Asio4all

A couple of things then; if you are changing drivers for different tasks, you need to go into your device settings in Reaper and change the settings there so you can bring up the asio settings for that device. But if you are done tracking and only mixing, low latency is not needed, so again, why bother with asio4all? I do some basic mixing on a laptop and use whatever onboard audio driver there is. I probably have some huge latency, as I set the buffer as high as it can to save CPU load (which in my opinion is the important factor for mixing anyway). If I do track with the laptop, then I switch drivers, plug in a Focusrite interface and lower the buffer settings to get the latency down. So I am still not understanding why you would ever need asio4all when mixing. Keep in mind too that asio4all is NOT an actual asio driver. In fact, it is not a driver at all, it's a wrapper that uses whatever onboard driver you have. It basically 'tricks' Reaper into going into asio-mode (simplistic explanation). So is you have an asio interface with decent drivers to track with, when you switch to mix mode, why bother with asio4all, low latency, and wasting CPU power?
