Build your own Audacity for Windows with ASIO driver support

You might want Audacity to work with the ASIO drivers supplied with your sound devices. Commmon reasons for this are:

Only ASIO drivers are available for your hardware (eg Behringer mixers)
Performance - ASIO has low latency (delays)
You don't want to use the ASIO4All bridging driver with non ASIO drivers
Multi channel support - though Audacity is not so good at handling other than Stereo or Mono

Due to licensing restrictions the Audacity team cannot provide a prebuilt version with Windows ASIO driver support. But with this guide and script you can easily build your own Audacity with ASIO support.

By default 11ty devmode uses browsersync to reload webbrowsers whenever it regenerates pages to _site. It does this automatically when template files change.

However, the .eleventy.js file is only loaded when 11ty starts so if you edit shortcodes (say) you need to stop and restart 11ty.

The solution is to use nodemon to restart 11ty automatically when the config file changes. But then you need to use browser F5 to refresh. The solution to that is to get browsersync to reload the browsers To achieve that, the 11ty browsersync config option allows you to define a callback when browsersync is ready and you can add a browser reload call there.

Here's example code from music-practice-tools
