Good stuff Simon, perhaps we'll cross paths at some point
I'm glad to hear you managed to get the latency issue sorted out. On Windows, the reason we made shared WASAPI the default instead of exclusive WASAPI is because exclusive takes full control of your sound card preventing other applications from outputting audio and we felt this might bother some users. But for the best experience you should always use exclusive WASAPI.
The audio device settings become irrelevant when you switch Aerodrums to "MIDI Only" mode for use with DAWs or other VST hosts. In this case it is the DAW, not Aerodrums, that outputs the audio so it is that software that will provide the ability to choose an audio output device. They generally recommend ASIO and in fact your DAW may not even provide the WASAPI option. If you need help setting this up, check the manual for mention of ASIO4All and LoopBe1 or post your questions here.
If you end up using the ASIO4All driver you should set the ASIO buffer size as low as possible (e.g. 64) to minimise latency. Your DAW should provide the ability to set this.
