Any way to record multiple USB sources in AL10 /Win10

[jrs77]

Hello there.

I ordered a couple new synths, which all have audio over USB capabilities. In Ableton I can only choose a single input for recording however.
I could feed both synths into an audiointerface and record that audiointerface over USB in Ableton, but that wouldn't let me seperate the two synths to individual tracks, but I would only get a single stereo-input.

So the question is, if there's any way around to record multiple USB audio devices simultaneously in Ableton under Windows 10.

Not easily. Nothing like Apple's aggregate devices. There may be a third-party something that would allow it.

Actually, I gave up on the concept anyway and just started using the line inputs on my interface.

Yeah there is no easy/reliable way to create multiple input devices but it is much more normal to just connect everything to a good quality mixer and feed that into LIve. Unless you want to record multiple synths at the same time, you can easily record one, then just enable a second track and record the next all to separate tracks.

Also, keep in mind that if you only have a stereo input you have 2 mono inputs if your synths are mono.

You can also invest in a multi-channel audio interface instead of a mixer (or in addition to). I personally use a Roland Octa Capture that handles 8 channel inputs and 8 channel outputs and it's cheaper to buy than most synths.
