I can't seem to figure out how to record my soft synths without recording everything. Meaning, in the full duplex world, I can hear what was recorded previously AND the incoming audio without the two tracks being mixed down to one file(or hearing drums AND the bass on the SAME track...oof). But since soft synths (I'm using NI FM7, NI Reaktor, Reason's synths, VSampler, Kontakt and Lounge Lizard)appear to the sound card like Wave audio, my SBLive records ALL the audio. My workaround has been to mix my curent track down to a stereo track, import it into SONAR, record the soft synth, convert IT to audio and then bring ALL of the audio back into ACID/Vegas. There's gotta a be an easier way...is there? Now I been looking at new soundcards because of this issue. I bought an Audiophile but I had the same problem so I returned it. I'm probably gonna get the Onmi or Quattro when I can but not until this problem is resolved. I think it will probably have something to do with multiple outputs. I was using the KX drivers which seriously boosted the usability of the SBLive but it seemed that the full duplex capability was totally gone no matter what the input so I uninstalled them. Now when I record via Mic, Line or S/PDIF with the SBLive, this problem does not exist...it's only when I try to use a soft synth in standalone mode(as opposed to DXi/VSTi) that this problem occurs. I tried to search and find the "regularly asked and answered" posts but could not find this particular issue...close but not this one. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
