Software standalone multioutput mixer with ASIO support? |
 |
Hey peeps!
Need some help finding a software. The thing is, I just got myself a new soundcard (Terratec Phase 28 ). Otherwise great, but the stupid thing is the cards Control panel, which is supposed to be where you control everything about the card, doesn't have an option to route one source to several outputs. In other words, I can't get the stereo sound from Madtracker to both outputs 1-2 and 3-4 for instance.
So what I need is a simple program that intercepts the audiostream sent to the wave device and gives me the option to send this stream to the soundcard output of my choice. I believe ASIO support would be needed in order to address all outputs, as it seems Windows itself only recognises this card as having one stereo output.
Anyone know of such a program or have any suggestions as to how I could solve this? |

I found a semi-workaround for this using some sort of lite version of FL studio 5 (which came bundled with the soundcard) as a Rewire host and Madtracker as a Slave. Then using the ASIO functions of FL studio I'm able to select which one of the 5 output pairs on my soundcard the signal should be sent to. Still not an ideal solution as
1. this lite version of FL studio doesn't allow me to change the volume of the master channel (apparently the FL Studio people don't think that it is relevant to music production and a proper evaluation of their product), so I have to use the phase 28 controlpanel for volume adjustment.
2. FL studio uses PC resources that I'd rather use for Madtracker.
3. This still doesn't give me monitoring of other wave sources (like iTunes). |

This ASIO stuff looks interesting. Does it work so that I can f.ex play guitar or sing over the MT tracks in realtime? Does most new soundcards support ASIO? |

I must admit I'm a newbie when it comes to ASIO and Rewire, so I don't know that much about it yet. However, I did find one freeware program (Kristal Audio Engine) that had ASIO support and a feature they called LiveIn. What they advertised this as was precisely a way to send in a guitar signal on your soundcards input and have some FX processing and then send it to any output (or record it to a track). I would have loved to use this program for the purpose of my experiments. Unfortunately it doesn't support Rewire 
I'd say most soundcards these days have ASIO support, especially cards that are targeted at producers, like Terratecs producer series, M-Audio's cards etc.
Basically what you want to do is possible. If you have a Rewire host that can record to another track simultaneously, then you could have Madtracker on one channel in the host and record to another. But finding a program that does both ASIO and Rewire and works well seems to be somewhat problematic...
(as I said, I'm a newbie when it comes to these things, so anyone is free to correct me about what I've said  ) |
