ASIO 11/12; what does the 11/12 mean?

[unsaint32]

I am learning Patch Mix software (software mixer) that came with Emu 1212m.


I can understand that a software mixer's strip can be directed to ASIO so that a

software sequencer that uses ASIO can use the signal that travels through the

mixer strip. But I am not familar with the concept of "assigning" a

mixer strip to a certain ASIO section, such as ASIO 1/2, ASIO 3/4 and so on.

What are those numbers--1/2, 3/4, ~ 11/12. Do they somehow have to do with

ASIO's capability to allow multitrack recording? If I assign s/pdif input to

lets say ASIO 13/14, do I have to remember that numbers later when I edit the

s/pdif input?




thanks

That is telling Patchmix which ASIO input to send to... so if you assign SPDIF to ASIO 11/12, in your software you woul dthen know that ASIO input 11/12 is your SPDIF input. Make sense? It is all about routing your signal.
