Multiple Sound Cards ?

hello,

i'm building a midi controller for ableton live called sifão,

i've included a exterior sound car for line in and line out.

since i don't have a fancy sound card, i got a crappy usb type pen just enough to get something in and out

now the problem "how to connect two sound cards", the internal and this pen type crap

i use the asio4all driver that allows to connect multiple sound cards and you can assign what you want each one "ear", unfortunately i didn't found a way to send the same thing trough 2 outputs...

digging in ableton live i've found that you can set one output in master for two channels 1/2 (left and right) and you can assign individual tracks to another two channels 3/4 (left and right - the external sound card) but again, it doesn't allow to send the master to 1/2 and 3/4 at the same time.

so i've created a audio track and in the input routed to the master and the output to the 3/4, so the master will go to 1/2 and the audio track will go to 3/4, just as simple as that.

since we are talking about crappy material, there is a slightly latency between the two outputs but is nothing big...

does anyone have a better way to have the same thing going out to 2 sound cards? help appreciated...

thanks

If you are MAC ,
you can go to audio midi set up / audio devices the click + button , it creates aggregate device that you rename has you want.
Then you can select audio device that you want ect.
Next in live yoy can select in audio device your aggregate "sound card".

On a PC you can use the good old ASIO4ALL-driver.

hi, thanks for the answers.

i'm on a pc, windows 7, i used asio4all and i can use two sound cards, the problem is that i can't configure asio or ableton to send the same output sound to both sound cards, i can only send one signal to one, and another signal to the other...

any ideas?
