Hi threre,
It's not exactly a computing question but I post it here anyway since you guys seem to be quite competent and ready to help.

I have an ANUS PC and 2 cards – Audiophile 2496 and SBLive connected via SPDIF (I keep it for soundfont playback). The SBLive audio driver is not activated. I use Sonar 2.0 under win2k and the whole setup runs just fine.

In Sonar I have only 3 options for audio track input: HW In, S/PDIF In and Mon.mixer. When I play a softsynth I see the activity in the Audiophile's mixer (WavOut section). However, I can only record it when I select Mon.mixer as an input, which means that all other tracks are recorded as well.
I would presume that in addition to mixer output I should be able to record signals from each individual mixer section. However, it turns out that I can record separately ONLY hardware sources but not the ones generated by software. Is this is a fundamental limitation of Sonar or Delta drivers or PC architecture in general? Or am I missing something basic here?

TIA

Thanks Philly,

A very nice site indeed. I'll check the video too. As for DXi, I do exactly that and everything works fine. However, the matter that puzzles me is not covered in either Sonar or Delta manuals. Could you check if you can record a softsynth in AUDIO with your setup (without recording other tracks that is)?

TIA
