MOTU's Performer Lite does not have this limitation. In any case, both MOTU's Performer Lite and Ableton Live Lite are great DAWs, although Ableton Live Lite does have the 8 audio track limitation. Some people were even questioning whether MOTU made the lite version a bit too powerful, and they may be cannibalizing their paid product, Digital Performer.

It is quite full-featured on its own, and what really surprised me is its impressive guitar amp/effect mod plugins that come builtin, especially for something at the lite/free level: I love Ableton Live Lite too, but Digital Performer Lite is the best lite/free version (at least "free" with hardware purchase) of a DAW that I've used. Unless that has changed, I thought that the only way to get ASIO support in Audacity was to compile it from source with the ASIO support patched On a side note - do you need to use Cakewalk specifically? I only ask, since I have a MOTU M2 (gave-up trying to find an M4 in-stock.), and both M-series devices come with licenses for MOTU's new Performer Lite, as well as Ableton Live Lite, one of which may work better for you. On another note - I haven't used Audacity in years, but last I knew, Audacity did not support ASIO, due to licensing issues. You can also try another DAW that does see the Spark with PG's native driver, like the Studio One Prime license that came with the Spark, or Reaper, which has a 60-day trial (and is relatively inexpensive). I suspect that the issue with S-GEAR standalone is the same as with CakeWalk, and like w/S-GEAR, ASIO4ALL will probaby work.

Out of curiosity, I did just now install the PG native driver and tested it with all my guitar software. I didn't even install PG's native driver when I first got the Spark a few weeks ago, since ASIO4ALL already worked out-of-the-box. Over the years, I've found that ASIO4ALL works better than most native drivers, although it does usually require a bit of setup, but well worth the effort, once you get the hang of it.



ASIO4ALL just becomes another device to choose from inputs/outputs, and you can simply switch back-and-forth. Don't need to uninstall PG's native driver if you want to use ASIO4ALL.
