If this has put anyone off getting the mic, let me add that this issue only seems to affect Windows 8-10 (Windows 7 works great with the AT2020), and it doesn't affect Apple, as far as I know. It is NOT, I repeat NOT a good podcaster/gamer microphone. One thing people don't seem to understand is that the AT2020 is a very sensitive mic and will pickup background noises. Just make sure the room is well isolated, and use a pop shield. This seems to have corrected the problems I had with latency during recording in WASAPI and I'm now getting solid recordings with depth and clarity which are perfectly aligned. Magix has never created this conflict problem. It kept interfering with my Edirol ASIO drivers, so I keep it off my system now. Personally, I've had very mixed results with this ASIO4ALL. I didn't try this with ASIO4ALL, but that might work too. From here you can choose the AT2020 mic as the input/output device.
In Cakewalk, go to Preferences>Devices and choose Magix Low Latency 2016 After that go to Driver Settings tab and click on ASIO Panel.
Mine came bundled with Sound Forge Audio Studio 12.5. To fix latency, I would suggest getting hold of a Magix product that comes with Magix ASIO drivers. This seems to fix the issue of input volume, but not latency. You'll need to play about with the levels to what is desirable for you. So how did I fix it? Firstly, to fix low mic levels Go into Settings>System>Audio you can higher the mic input volume. And on Amazon this Christmas, you will see Audio-Technica 'dumping' their stock at low-low prices. You will see people cursing both on the Microsoft forums. Audio Technica do not offer a solution (they say it's an issue with Windows), Microsoft don't offer a solution (they say it's an issue with bad drivers from the vendor). Especially low levels and distorted sound. Seems that since Windows 7 turned into Winows 8-10, there have been issues with USB mics in general. A search for solutions on-line threw up thread after thread of other users complaining of the same problem.
The quality was not bad, but because I wasn't able to record 'hot', I was having to push up the sound post production, getting a lot of background noise.
Sound levels when recording were low, and I mean low. Since I got the mic for €50 I decided to make the most of what I bought, but straight away started having issues. I'd bought the XLR version from Amazon Warehouse, but when the box arrived it contained the USB+ version. I thought I'd post this here for anyone else who is having issues with the Audio Technica USB+ I got this mic, kind of by accident.
