Open Audio Hardware Guide
Last updated on 3/29/2016As the leading developer of music and sound software for Windows, Cakewalk has always advocated and supported open industry standards, giving you the flexibility to create the best hardware and software configuration according to your own needs.
Cakewalk software products are designed to work with any audio hardware that supports ASIO or standard Windows drivers, providing you with the widest range of hardware choices available. We created this guide to help you decide which audio hardware is best-suited for your specific Cakewalk-based recording system. For the most up to date driver compatibility information on Windows, please check with the device’s manufacturer.
This list is a resource for both authorized Cakewalk resellers and Cakewalk customers. It allows you to quickly compare the features of a number of different audio interfaces, making your hardware decision that much easier. Please see the Glossary if you are unfamiliar with any of the terms used in this guide. If you would like more information on a specific card, simply click on the name of the manufacturer to open a link to their website.
Disclaimer: this guide provides an extensive hardware listing, but does not represent all available audio hardware products. The following audio cards shown represent a broad cross-section of today’s best-selling and most reliable products. We have made every effort to ensure that the following information is accurate at the time this guide was printed. Cakewalk is not responsible for any inaccurate information. Prices, specifications and availability are subject to change without notice. (Note: the “Max. Bit Depth/Sample Rate” listed is per manufacturer specification, actual results may vary per program.)
