Hello - I have two M-Audio controller keyboards, and multiple keyboard apps (NI Elektrik Piano, Blue3, several GForce synths) on my PC. I can assign the apps to either keyboard, hear them and record with them to a TEAC DP02. But I haven't been able to hear more than one at a time when I have a different app assigned to each keyboard. I'm looking for advice on how to hear the two keyboards at the same time and record them.
How to hear and record two keyboards with two apps at the same time

Instead of using the stand-alone apps, maybe try running their VSTi counterparts on different tracks in your DAW. On track 1, you'd assign keyboard 1 as the MIDI input and load up an instance of one of your soft synths. And on track 2, assign keyboard 2 as MIDI input and load up an instance of a different soft synth.
My guess is that the stand-alone apps can't share the audio system, so only one at a time would play. But in a DAW you should be able to have as many running concurrently as your PC can handle, each with their own MIDI input/channel, and all playing to the master bus that maps to your main audio outputs.

Thank you - I will check this out.
I figured the problem was that I'm running from my computer audio directly to the DP02 Portastudio. I was just hoping that there would be a work around. I do have the Ableton Light DAW that I can try next. But if there is any way to do this with the DP02, that's what I would prefer.
