2 soundcards?

[soundprizm]

Is there anyway to have 2 soundcards? One for all your inputs for recording, and one for playback? I'm trying to use the soundscape mixtreme with a creative audigy. Is this possible?

[matty_boy]

Yes. I have 2. I believe that many people have 2.

Hi soundprizm,

The only way you can run two soundcards for audio
with Cubase is if they are both the same soundcards.
Asio only allows one card to be active at a time. How
ever, you can use one card for audio in and outs and
one card for midi.

Hope this helps!

Well that surely sucks! There's gotta be a way around this. I know Samplitude is capable of this. Cubase is a big leader so it should be able to do this.

soundprizm,

I know the mixtreme is a digital only card, so I'm assuming
you want to use the audigy for an analogue input. Do you
have anything else to use as a front-end a/d conversion
for the mixtreme?...a preamp with digital outputs?...a
masterlink?...etc.

Well, I just want to use the audigy for playback and midi. I'm using a Tascam TMD1000 with the mixtreme. So I'm using the mixtreme for all my inputs. I just want to be able to use the audigy for monitoring.

Why can't you monitor with the Tascam mixer?

I guess I could take the monitor outs of the Tascam and route them to the line in of the Audigy. If that's what I gotta do, gotta get myself to radio shack. My speakers are computer speakers, so I have to use the Audigy. I'm using the Klipsh Promedia 5.1's. But, I still want to use the Audigy's Midi. So, I dunno.... thanks a lot for the help though.

No prob!...good luck!
