Positive Grid applications and other applications

What I would like to do for a little evening practice is run an application to play some media files to play along to and run Bias Amp or Bias FX standalone with low latency under Windows 10 via a cheap 1 in 1 (stereo) out USB interface with a high impedance input. I can get the media to play without any issue over the interface, but even after going and turning off 'exclusive mode' for the output, and using ASIO with ASIO4ALL or Windows Media as modes in Bias Amp, I can only get the media to play or Bias Amp.

I am not a Windows person, more a Linux/UNIX person.

I am enjoying Bias Amp at least, although my favourite ground-up creation of an amp turns out to be just a slightly hotter Vox AC30

ASIO is a single connection at a time,

For free, but with a learning curve:

It gives you a patch bay where you can route audio many ways on a PC. You can mix ASIO and Windows apps.
For example listen to Youtube and your standalone app at the same time. No worries on exclusive mode.
Search out demos on You tube

Other's have success with VB-Audio VoiceMeeter Banana

In the end I got sort-of-acceptable latency with Windows Media. It drag a bit even when it claims to be 3ms. It feels more like 20. The issue I was having before, even when using Windows Media, was that I'd managed to induce feedback and the software had very sensibly muted the output and I hadn't spotted it. Doh!

I've gone the route of importing media into my DAW. I've found multiple advantages for my personal needs with this route. I like using reference tracks through my own converters, and it's a great song learning tool with having the ability to slow down tricky passages while preserving pitch. I use a free program called "ClipGrab". Simply copy/paste a youtube link in the program, and it immediately downloads the link into a file on your PC. Drop that file onto a track in your DAW, and done. Just make sure to turn that mastered track DOWN. It will be much louder than your bass track.

I do that too if I am learning something as opposed to noodling in a more general sense.
