Subject:ASIO with two devices Posted by: camper Date:3/6/2012 1:51:42 PM I want to use two ASIO devices (roland UA-1ex and m-audio transit), one for input and one for output. When I go to Options > Audio, I have to select the same ASIO device for both Record and Playback. Is there a way to have Record use one ASIO device and Playback use a different one? Details: Sound Forge 9.0e, Windows XP 32-bit (also occurs on SF 9.0e, Windows 7 64-bit) Thanks.

Google it and DL the driver. This will allow you to aggregate your ASIO devices into one, giving SF access to the I/O of both. Rob.
Subject:RE: ASIO with two devices Reply by: camper Date:3/7/2012 10:04:34 AM Thanks for the tip. I have downloaded and installed ASIO4All and, frankly, I find it to be rather flaky. Error messages like, "computers don't like you" and the such do not engender confidence in the software. I am continuing to battle with ASIO4All. However, the fact that config options that I see on the screen do not line up with what is in the user manual for ASIO4All, and then add in the odd error messages ... I am unconvinced that I would want to rely on the ASIO4All software to function properly.
