Multiple device recording

Post by miken277 » Sat May 24, 2008 5:57 pm

Greetings. I have 3 M-Audio Audiophile 192 cards that I want to record with, but Audacity only permits recording with one device at a time. Are there plans to fix this? In the past I have also been stymied by the fact that in certain cases (such as the Layla 24/96, my previous gear) it would still only record with one of the Layla channels, the rest being recognized as different devices. Same issue: I was not able to select or use the other devices.

Thanks for your reply.

1.3.5 is the latest pre-1.4.0 release. If it's not there, then it's not going to happen for a while.

Multiple devices is insanely hard to do. Not only are the sampling frequencies never in phase, but they're often off frequency, too. My 48000 sample rate may be one or two cycles off leading to show drift over long captures. The video people have this problem constantly. "How come my lip sync is off after a half-hour capture...
