Hi

I was thinking of getting one of those Echo PCMCIA soundcards for my laptop. Ideally I'd like to record, so the Echo I/O would be a good choice. However, for live performance the Echo DJ is probably better cause of the dual outputs -one for cue, second for mix. Does anyone know if it's easy to set up the laptop's own sound card for cueing and the Echo I/O soundcard for main mix output? That way I'd only need the Echo I/O. Is anyone doing this already? Have you had any probs?

Cheers, Aejaz

i don't know if live supports 2 different audio drivers Simultaneous. you could try asio4all drivers.

Mac OS X Tiger does that for you (aggregate device).
Are you using Win or Mac?

I was posed with the same question. I chose the IO.

Here's my working Setup

Toshiba P15-S479
ECHO IO (main in/out)
Internal card is a 16 bit AC97 card (monitor)
ASIO4ALL 2.6

Latency @ 5ms

I think as long as your laptop sound card isn't completely crap It will work.

Good Luck!

And this works really, really well. Got 2 M-Audio Audiophiles aggregated together for DJing. No issue whatsoever.

Hi Backwoods

What did you have to do in the Live preferences to get the 'cue' to come out of one and the 'mix' out of the other?

Cheers, A.

For all of you Win XP users this will do the trick
