How to Use Multiple Audio Interfaces Simultaneously

Музыка

Expand your studios I/O by combining different audio interfaces! No ADAT or interconnectivity required between the two devices! Simply plug both into your computer - watch to find out how.
Note: The ASIO4all drivers on Windows don't have a way to sync audio recordings from different audio interfaces. Be prepared to experience a delay between recording devices.
On Mac to correct for the sync issue simply tick off the Drift Correction box and Mac OS should automatically sync the aggregate device to your primary interface (in theory, I haven't tested this).
The sync issue on Windows is something I will look into and hopefully be able to cover a solution in a future video.
Thanks for watching!

    This was a game changer for me. Appreciate your knowledge! The one thing I had to figure out for me was when I selected the interfaces, as you outlined at 4:35, I needed to expand these folders. I have an 8 channel and 2 channel interface. I needed to make sure all of the interfaces " audio in" were set correctly. Reason why, is for when I set up the corresponding inputs with track numbers, as outlined at 5:00, I'm able to have the needed options to do so. Before I changed this setting I didn't see the available inputs to set up. After making the adjustment, everything was easy.

    Is it also possible to have multiple outputs? so you can route a certain mixer track to one output and have it only play on that output? I am trying to use a talk box without using a synth by putting a vst in a mixer track, and routing it to only 1 output and into the talkbox to generate sound using a simple midi controller. that way I can hear the other music on the normal output and record the talkbox with only the synths sound entering the talkbox.

    I have a ZOOM R8 configured as an audio interface and an SSL 2 running through REAPER. Was able to get them both recognized by REAPER and can record on all channels. Haven't checked the latency yet. The problem is when recording with headphones. Can only hear the interface channels that the head phones are hooked to. Not good for simultaneous recording on all channels. Not sure how to get around this but it is a big issue. Was hoping to use both interfaces to record drums with 4 mics.

  • @szeredaiakos

    If you are using optical, you can pass the optical signal directly into the sound solution of your PC, provided it has input for it. Which you probably want to use. The preamps of motherboards are usually bad but DAC and ADC solutions of motherboards are significantly higher performance than the interface counterparts. 192k 32bit float has been on those chips for the past decade. Obviously, ASIO is a must. Also, some external interfaces come with their own ASIO drivers which do provide a little bit less latency than the open source drivers. A 64 sample buffer should be manageable my most modern hardware, if you want that really immediate response.

    Interesting. There isn't any quality loss with this setup, or at least it wouldn't be any different than using just one interface with more outputs in terms of sound fidelity. Latency will definitely be an issue because you're using ASIO4ALL drivers instead of the drivers that come with your interface, and ASIO4ALL is very latency. What I would do is run a short transient (like a pure sine wave) and use that notch in each re-amped track to re-align everything. By aligning tracks that way you can get things perfectly in sync as far as phase is concerned.

    yes it was helpful, but I have to admit it's all a bit daunting for me, I have a few things already in place but, I guess I'm a bit dumb, maybe it's my age, honestly I should know this by now but I'm a late starter, I was pleased to see your using Cubase which is what I have, I even have a 10 channel mixer, which I can't figure out, I wish I knew someone close to help me set it all up properly, but I don't, tuff luck, that's the way the cookie crumbles, that's life,
