using a USB input along with main I/O device

Post by alichis » Sat Jan 19, 2008 11:46 am

Hi, i've got a Tascam FW-1804 and have also got a Soundtech lightsnake USB input for recording guitar.

My question is...

is it possible to use these two devices simultaniously? If so how? because i can't seem to figure it out.

What i want is to be able to record an input from the snakelight and be able to hear it through the monitors through my tascam.

Something that seems fairly straightforward is proving to be much harder than i thought.

Basically i imagined that when you plug in the new usb hardware an extra selection in the inputs drop-down would be available but it's not there. Any advice or thoughts?

If you are on PC you will need to use asio4all, if your cards will work with it

if you are on mac you will need to create an aggregate device
