Multiple Output devices

Hello abletoners,

Please can someone tell me if its possible at all to route audio from Live 6 to 2 seperate audio devices simultaneously? I have a horrible feeling its impossible but it would help me out so much with the rig I have at the moment.

I would love to be able to have my master out routed to Imac soundcard and then have 2 additional stereo outs to my audiophile with in turn sends audio to DJM400 mixer. I can combine output from both devices in desk mixer and send back to imac input to record the result.

Sorry maybe too much detail but hope this sort of makes sense

ps: i did search for this topic but couldnt find anything.
Thanks people,

it's possible.
[edit, misread the post]
Aggregate devices on OSX, asio4all on pc.

Live itself can not communicate with more than 1 audio device directly. But people seem to get good results using ASIO4ALL for mutiple devices, which you can use to setup your audioroutings:

edit: sorry, my suggestion applies to pc only ...

thanks very much for the speedy responses,

thanks machinate for the idea, can you expand at all what have done in the example you posted? it unfortunately doesnt look like your using different audio devices? cheers though,

I have used asioforall when my pc was actually still able to make music, now its only good for collecting dust...cheers again though mate.

yes it is possible...
but only on mac i think.
first open your audio-midi configuration app.
then press shift-apple-a.
now your in a window where you can easy reconfigure all your in and outs as a new agregated device.

datapopstar - thanks very much for that - brilliant!!! so easy to setup that i was in complete shock!!!

When using aggregate devices does anyone notice a tiny bit of latency between the 2 devices. When i run the metronome through device 1 its slightly ahead of device 2. Should I change the clock source of one of the soundcard to sync external as i think they are both currently set to internal?

your wisdom is much appreciated.

Ta very much
