I have been looking and i cant find one anywhere.

Me too - it looks like no such device exists...

I've just had a thought - is the headphone out on my laptop still gonna be accessible when I have my Motu Ultralite connected???

If so, I'll be able to use the set-up as I like!!!

<-Little smile again...

Patch, ASIO4ALL can do this I think (I'm on a mac so might be wrong, Tiger can do this on there).

That's what I thought, robin (I meant to mention ASIO4ALL in my original post - D'oh..!)

I've used ASIO4ALL in the past with a SoundBlaster 5.1 card to give me 6 mono outs, and it worked a treat!

What I'm concerned with, is using the MOTU Ultralite with the ASIO4ALL driver instead of the MOTU driver. Surely the MOTU drivers would give better performance than ASIO4ALL?

Good point, I don't know.

Yes the motu drivers will give better performance.

You can get much tighter latecy times, and the quality of the sound is much crisper.

But then - its difficult to see another way.

Are you actually going to need 2 decks???

Why not use 1, when you have your recorded loop - looping, you could just reasign the MixVibes to a different channel to start again if you wanted.


You probably wont be running both decks at the same time, Will You??

I'd thought of that - but I will be using the turntables for beat juggling too, so I would need both connected...

Yes, I was tired and really shouldnt have been throwing in comments last night.

The turntables take up inputs not out puts.


Duh.

anywayz, I tried myself today... and SSL & Ableton really run together at the same time!

I played one track from Scratch Live (scratched a bit, reversed, changed pitch etc) and recorded the output via my EMU 0404 USB soundcard to the Ableton Live 6.1 what was runnin' on the same computer at the same time. No problems at all. Even threw some effects on the record armed track in Ableton and recorded them too...

I haven't downloaded the SSL 1.6.3 beta yet, I'm still running 1.6.2 - are there any obvious advantages to using 1.6.3 with Ableton, as opposed to 1.6.2? If so, what are they?

Good work, marqs!!!! Finally - some positive feedback on using both together!

Can you post details of your set-up? PC specs I and any hardware you're using...
