The soundcard in my Vaio is a Yamaha AC-XG WDM. When I pull up the Cubase ASIO Multimedia Setup, my card is listen in the window. Does that mean anything? I don't understand what ASIO is. I guess I need to read further, but is my card not good enough for what I need to do?

Also, when I go to the Device setup in Cubase and select VST Multitrack. If I change the ASIO driver from ASIO Multimedia driver to ASIO DirectX Full Duplex Driver, the latency goes down to less than half a second, but still not good enough. Am I getting close?
