Setup: Athlon 450Mhz, 64Meg memory, Gadget Labs Wave 8/24
sound card (8 inputs, 8 outputs).
Situation: I'm using Vegas to record a live musical
theatre performance from the soundboard. From the theater
soundboard I submix 5 tracks to the first 5 Wave 8/24
inputs: Stage mics, wireless mics, band, pit singers, and
ambient house mic. This works fine for recording a 5-track
show and doing a 2-track mixdown later. I'm happy with the
recording results.
I would like to take these 5 live feeds (channels 1 through
5 in Vegas) and do a live mix-down to the first two Wave
8/24 outputs (stereo bus 1 in Vegas). In other words, use
Vegas and the Wave 8/24 as a live 5 input, 2 bus mixer.
This is a one-time thing to feed an audio mix to the video
crew. Having Vegas recording at the same time is not
necessary.
I can "arm for record" in Vegas and see that all 5 input
channels are active, even when I'm not actually recording.
But my stereo output bus is dead, other than during
playback of pre-recorded material.
Is there a way to take the 5 armed-for-record channels and
route them directly to stereo bus 1 without having to
record and playback first?
Hope this made sense...
