why is bandlab not seeing my usb cards mutiple outputs??

[eagerbrook eagerbrook]

Hi,

 

New to the forums.

I am using bandlab with a ( cheap) usb sound card.

The card is recognised by Windows 10 and I have configured it for 7;1 surround in the sound settings.

It tests fine.

So...... when I go the the audio preferences in bandlab I see

1)  both of my Virtual  (VAC )  cables  for inputs  ( one of the reasons I am using bandlab is that it can accomodate more than one input )

2) the usb sound card for output.

 

HOWEVER, if I arm a track, although I can select either  virtual cable for input, for output all get is either  L, R,  or stereo output for the card??

What happened to eight individual outputs? - or even four stereo outputs??

I need to be able to assign the track input to different outputs of the sound card?

 

Can anyone help- or am I going mad ?

Hi Thanks for the reply.

 

Sadly have forgotten bandlab.

Moved to another daw that works fine with wasapi shared

 

THanks again

Do you have the outputs checked in Preferences? - i.e. they not only need to be listed, you also need to have them checked.

THanks for the reply MsMcleod

 

Here are screenshots of my audio preferences.

There doesn'tseem to be any options for enabling the multiple outputs of the sound card??

 

ManyThanks

The issue is you're using WASAPI shared, which essentially goes through Window's sound.

Use ASIO if you've got ASIO drivers for your device, otherwise try WASAPI Exclusive.

HI,

That makes no sense to me

 

I am using bandlab to add  audio fx  to multiple browser audio in windows.

Wasapi exclusive does not work with multiple sources at once.

It would appear when I select wasapi shared,  bandlab analyses devices, and the waveprofiler can only see two outputs for the usb sound card.

Every other daw shows the eight available outputs for the card  ( in wasapi shared ), why not Bandlab??

I do not want to use asio.

 

Cheers

The proper way to do this is to purchase a ( not cheap) Audio interface that has a Loopback feature. Most interfaces have this now and for the reason you are stating. Cheapo, none ASIO interfaces rarely work with Cakewalk. This video explains this stuff.

@eagerbrook eagerbrook there is an app that allows you to route multiple apps to an ASIO driver sorry I don't recall the name but try searching the interweb for "ASIO audio router"
