Can I use a Keyboard controller and Drum machine at once in my producing programs?

[Itamar-Friedman]

Hello guys.

I'm using Ableton live 9 and my keybaord controller is M audio Axiom pro 49 - - my external sound card is Mbox mini , And now I want to buy the NI machine (drum machine by native instruments)

I have 2 questions for you guys :

1 - can I control my Ableton live with the Axiom pro and also with Machine ? or the program can recognize only one of them ?

2 - I noticed that in my external sound device I have only one input for USB and i use it for the Axiom - does it means that I won't be able to connect the NI machine ?? I really don't want to buy another sound device just because of that

thanks !

They'll both work in Ableton!
I've used 6 controllers with Live 9. Maschine included.

You're plugging into your interface?
Does your computer not have available USB ports?

You will need to work with the channels on the keyboard and Drum machine so that you can get the right signals to the right tracks.
