Rewire Ableton with Ableton?

[Proj3ktDharma]

Hello,

I am a little confused about the rewire concept.

What I need to do is to run two instances of Live, each using a different sound interface, and send sound from instance A to B, back and forth, in differents tracks.

Is it possible to do that with rewire? Is there a way to achieve it?

The main problem is I have a mackie 1220i and a Focusrite Saffire PRO 14 but when I use the ASIO4ALL drivers, sometime the 2bus on the Mackie come kindof mono or the stereo image got messed.

Thank you for your help!

1) Why in particular do you need to send the audio between the channels of the two instances of Live? Live makes a fine ReWire Host, but not so great of a slave. Perhaps there is a better way to approach? Would it not make more sense to just have 1 copy of Live open?

2) Doe your Mackie and Focusrite not come with ASIO drivers as it is? If so, you should not be using ASIO4ALL, unless there is something I'm missing. I believe ASIO4ALL is a set of drivers you use for hardware that doesn't have low-latency supported drivers in the first place -- surely those two soundcards do?

Because I need to use 2 audio interfaces at the same time and I have trouble running the A4A drivers. I would greatly prefer to only have one instance of live and use 2 audio interfaces, but I have to find a work around.

ASIO4ALL can be use to aggregate 2 or more audio interface. That's the reason I used it in the first place. If I can rewire Live each instance will use it's own drivers of course.
