mte Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 hello I'd just like to make sure if I'm right: If a sound card has digital IO (well, output in my example) is it possible to (through some converters and with special software) get multitrack outputs to place them on different channels on an analog mixer? This isn't possible, is it? Thanks, Matej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how many physical outputs there are on the sound card. Unless your sound card has an 8-channel lightpipe output or something similar, each output is capable of a left and right channel only. --Ethan [ 10-30-2001: Message edited by: Ethan Winer ] The acoustic treatment experts Ethan's Audio Expert Book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XNU8D Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Couple problem with your request, but yes it's possible. You do not need digital i/o, if you did the you would need a DA converter of some sort to get it into a analog mixer. Also some soundcards and softwares will allow multiple soundcards in the same computer, to get multiple outputs to your mixer. That can add up to as many stereo (L/R) times (X) # of soundcards you can handle. Also good to look at products from aardvark and midiman that have multiple analog ins an outs, Good Luck.
