Is there a way to use aggregate audio devices in W7 64bit?

Recently Avid Audio released Pro Tools 9. This version of their software is no longer tied to their hardware. Mac users are now able to use more than one audio interface for audio i/o, increasing the number of channels to simultaneously record from. Is there
any way in W7 Home Premium to create an audio profile that combines different interfaces?
For example, I connect a USB audio device (MBox 2) and a firewire device (M-Audio ProFire 2626). Can I have both recording into Pro Tools at the same time?

Just saw this old Post and had to respond, better late than never and MS Still has not given us musicians the love we need with regard to low latency Audio Processing.
Yes it can be done but it's very Hardware Dependent.  Both your Devices need to be WDM driver compliant. This is not as fast native ASIO driver w/ regard to latency.  There are also limitations like Word Clock timing and no direct monitoring
but depending on what you are looking to do, it may work for you. You could use this for instance to connect a Roland TR-8 (10 Channels out) and Roland TB-3 (2 Channels) and System-1 also 2 Channels out (yeah I'm Roland fan) via USB for
a total of 14 Output channels @96KHz to the DAW.
1. Install all additional audio interface Drivers
2. Install ASIO4all
3. Set ASIO4all as your default driver in your DAW software.
4. Open the ASIO4all control panel and click on the wrench.
5. Enable all desired WDM devices.
6. Device should appear I/O setup of your DAW
Set Word clock to External- (you may also need to reset you Devices driver to "Legacy Mode"

  • Is there a way to use 2 firewire devices on my macbook?

    Hi,
    I want to try using my panasonic gs-120 camcorder to make a little movie of my kids. I have a intel macbook with 2GB. Is there any way to use the camcorder with the firewire port and my external firewire drive? I don't have much internal drive space left? Do I need an adapter?
    Thanks

    most firewire-cases offer TWO firewire ports.. simply daisy-chain:

  • Aggregate Audio Device- half-way works

    Greetings. I'm trying to record multiple audio channels through multiple devices using 'aggregate audio device' feature in the Audio Midi setup.
    the devices are a MOTU (mark of the unicorn) 896/MOTU896HD daisychained via firewire and going into a powerbook via firewire. Recording software is likely to be Raven (cornell lab of ornithology nature sound recording software).
    I can create an aggregated device that says 38 input/40 output channels (the MOTU's can send and receive different formats) in the Aggregate Audio device editor, and these channels show up on the
    We want to record in 16 channels- however, in the Audio Midi Setup menu, under Audio input, the aggregated device still only has a max of 8 channels (one MOTU's worth) in the pull-down format menu. Raven sets up recording by looking at the Audio MIDI setup, so only opens 8 channels for recording. What am I missing? Is there some way to get the audio input format to have an option for 16 channels?
    Thanks for any help you can provide. Happy Holidays
    Alan

    An update- Raven now sees two separate streams from the aggregated device, although one is only 2 channels (instead of 8), which makes me think both streams are from the same unit but one a 2 channel master or something like that... (i'll test this with the mics soon).
    Any advice on using Audio Midi Setup, as well as how to configure audio devices in the firewire console would be greatly appreciated... I am expecting to be able to chose from the pull-down format menu 16 channels (8+8)- but so far haven't been able to do this.
    Thanks, and happy holidays

  • Is there a way to use TV out but continue to play the audio from the iphone?

    is there a way to use TV OUT but keep playing the audio on the iphone? I have a projector that works well but the speakers are broken, would be great if i could still play the sound from my iphone

    What if you connect external speakers to the projector? I do not believe you can redirect the audio to the phone when you are using the video/audio out.

  • Is there a way to use two macs to run one app? I want to use my two macbook pros processors in a shared capacity.

    I have two macbook pros a 2.4ghz and a 2.2ghz. Is there a way to use the other macbook pro to help with any cpu intensive apps like audio and video apps. I haven't had much luck on finding anything about sharing resources. It would be awesome if you could link up two macs and use both of them to power through processor intensive tasks.

    Yep here you go.

  • Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
    Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
    I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
    Hope I'm making sense...

  • Is there a way to use the common J-K-L keystrokes to play forward and backward in iMovie '11?

    Is there a way to use the common J-K-L keystrokes to play forward and backward in iMovie '11? Most editing apps--like Final Cut Pro, QuickTime Pro, Avid, etc.--use this convention.

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • HT204291 Is there any way to use computer speakers when using airplay and apple tv?

    I'm a teacher using an epson hdmi capable projector in my class.  I'd like to play a video (youtube, TED, etc)  to a large class, but as soon as I use airplay, the apple tv mirrors my iPad to the projector, and while the video is fine, the audio is horrible, as it is also mirrored to the epson projector, which has tiny, horrible speakers.  Is there any way to run the audio through the iPad, where I can connect my computer speakers through the headphone jack?  Alternatively, is there an adapter that can connect to the back of the epson projector (see following) that would convert audio in the projector to computer speakers? http://epson.ca/cgi-bin/ceStore/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=V11H428120 -F#2

    I believe if you go to settings> sounds... you can select where you want the sound to come from. So there you can set it to the "internal speakers" and then plug in your computer speakers.

  • Is there a way to use user's photo in portlet?

    Is there a way to use the user's photo in a portlet? Say a small image in one of the corners?

    Hi,
    If you are using release 2, you can use ordimage to show an image in the report. The table should have a ordimage column to select from.
         This will be the SQL to query data from tables having intermedia data.
         Select a.empno,a.ename,a.mgr,a.sal,
         portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_intermedia('EMP','EMP_AUDIO','AUDIO',a.rowid)
         the_audio, b.dname,b.loc,
         portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_intermedia('DEPT','DEPT_PICTURE','IMAGE',b.rowid) the_picture
         from emp a, dept b
         where a.deptno = b.deptno
    You can then publish this report as a portlet.
    If you do not want to select from a table, then you can use dynamic page to have your html content and use an image in that and publish the dynamic page as a portlet.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?

    Hello,
    I want to create a document with cascading 'popups'.  Not the built-in text-only popup, but an annotation containing an appearance stream that defines text and images.  I'm currently using widget annotations based on a pushbutton field.
    Each page in my document has many citations that refer to other pages in the document.  When a user hovers over the citation, I want a 'popup' to appear containing a depiction of the destination.  However, as the destination will itself have citations, I also want the 'popup' to contain citations that the user can hover over, triggering another popup, etc.  In this way, a user could navigate throughout the document without leaving the page or even clicking the mouse.
    Obviously, with even a modest number of citations per page, pre-calculating and statically defining all of these widgets causes a combinatorial explosion, making the document sluggish and very large.
    Instead, I'd like to statically define appearance streams once per document, and then dynamically create annotations and assign the appropriate appearance stream using JS as the user navigates.
    So far I've created a named AP in the names dictionary, but I haven't been able to use it to dynamically set an appearance stream of a dynamically created widget annotation.
    Also, I've called Doc.getIcon(), passing in the named AP, which returns an Icon object.  However, after field.buttonSetIcon() and passing in the named AP, the button does not display the icon.
    Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?
    Thank you,
    Dave

    Hi George, I've gotten named APs to work, and I expect hidden buttons will follow.  Thank you very much!
    Quick follow-up - I will have many documents embedded within the same pdf file, and some of these documents will contain identical popups.  However, I don't want to store identical icons in each document on account of file size.
    Instead, I'd like to store one instance of each icon for all documents in the file.
    Can I store all of the icons in a single document, and then access them by calling <DocName>.getField().getIcon() from any document in the file?
    Thank you again,
    Dave
