[RWP] setting a USB input?

[colin McDonald]

actually, it wasn't that complicated after all.
I typically use WDM kirnal for my sound driver because it seems to have the 
lowest latency on my machine.
With that device, only the regular onboard soundcard and the  "USB audio 
device" were showing up.
I switched the driver to direct sound, and suddenly, "mustang amplifier" 
showed up in the audio input list.  I simply hit enter on mustang amplifier, 
and everything works now.
Although, the latency from the amp via USB is just as bad, if not a bit 
worse than going through my soundcard line in jack.
I was hoping that it would be reduced to minimal latency.
However, the audio is excellent through the USB input.  Although, the level 
is rather low compared to line level..about 6 or 7DB down from normal unity 
input...I checked in my windows volume control and although I can find the 
mustang amp device in recording properties, it doesn't have any controls to 
adjust.
No big deal, with massive headroom in reaper, I simply need to increase 
volume by 7 DB to get a good unity level...and anything beyond that is easy 
with over plus30DB of clean headroom.

Now if only fender was good enough to make the mustang into a midi device 
and offer all the patches as plugins or something...they kind of do that, 
but it's with their own fuse software, written in silverlite and completely 
inaccessible with JFW or wineyes.

Colin
