Ableton Live 7 - Terratec Phase 26 USB - how?
Hi,
Desperately need some advice and was wondering if you could help? I want to be able to use Ableton Live 7 as a traditional DJ tool, being able to hear the cueing track through headphones separately from the master volume. For this I assume I need a dual-output soundcard? I have an external soundcard with a number of inputs and outputs but cant seem to configure my set up to work in the way i want it too. What i want to do seems incredibly simple: in Ableton set the master to route out via 1/2 stereo and set the cue to route out through 3/4. The soundcard appears to have the settings and sockets (lines out) to do this but i cant seem to get any sound out of it My current set-up consists of PC, Ableton Live 7 and Terratec Phase 26 USB (I also have an old Phonic MM1002 mixer I want to use for inputs like mics but assume this does not need to be considered in the equation for this specific problem). For performance purposes I saw on a forum that ASIO4ALL could be used to convert the wdm driver to ASIO if preferred working that way. I dont fully understand this but strangely the preferencesoutput config in Ableton Live gives me a number of output channels when ASIO4ALL is only picking up my onboard single channel soundcard (?!) which I have connected separately to my amp for desktop sound. Whenever set ASIO4ALL (or Ableton without ASIO4ALL) to use my external soundcard Ableton only sees stereo 1/2.Considering how many input/output options the soundcard offers I assumed it had dual output capability but i am now starting to doubt that (although then i am also not sure why the soundcard has those output sockets?). I am getting incredibly disheartened and frustrated and thinking I have been sold a dud. What i want to do seems incredibly simple: in Ableton set the master to route out via 1/2 stereo and set the cue to route out through 3/4. The soundcard appears to have the settings and sockets (lines out) to do this but i cant seem to get any sound out of it. I am waiting on support from Ableton (if they can or will help on separate hardware) but the support on the Terratec website might as well be non- existant whilst my vendor Thomann seem to have abandoned me. This is why I'm scouring groups for info If can please help! thanks for your time Simon |
