Is the Edirol ua-25 compatible with Adobe Audition?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I got the ua-25 but based on posts here, it seems there's some question
as to whether you can use the Ua-25 in 'advanced' mode (i.e. 24 bit)
with Adobe. Adobe doesn't support ASIO and it seems that in 24 bit, the
ua-25 may only be able to use asio compatible systems. Does anyone have
a definitive answer to this?

I'm no expert (at anything really) but I recorded 2 small clips, one
with the advanced switch on, and one off and the file size was the same
leading me to believe there is a problem. (Changing Adobe's setting
from 32 bit to 16 bit did yield a file that was half in size - though
I'm not sure what that implies).

I wrote Edirol. I was surprised they responded. Here's what they said:

Question We purchased the ua-25 to use with Adobe Audition. Adobe does
not support asio. Is it true that we cannot use the advance switch (24
bit) in Adobe b/c they have no asio support?

Answer Greetings,

You should you use your UA-25 in Advanced mode. It will support 24-bit
sound in this mode. If your goal is to record high-quality, low-latency
audio, you may want to consider a more robust recording program, such
as Cakewalk, Peak, Storm or Cubase.

Best Regards,
Edirol Corporation

----so they seem to think it works. I'm not sure I understand they're
beef with Adobe though.
