Hey everyone, I admit I have not searched extensively either here or elsewhere to find an answer, but hopefully someone will chime in nonetheless...
I'm trying to establish my workflow for mixing out of the box with vegas by interfacing it with either 1 or 2 Tascam DM3200s. Even though I've been a mouse jockey for 25+ years, mixing entirely ITB with a mouse is not something that interests me. Neither does using a control surface since I also want to be able to access racks of outboard analog equipment.
Linking two 3200's together gives me essentially 96 track capability at down mix. Even if I limited myself to the boards' TDIF & ADAT jacks, I'd still have 64 channels - something my MOTU PCIe 424 card can handle easily.
However, it seems that in order to route audio out of vegas, you must assign the track to a bus, of which there is a 26 count restriction (alphabet letters). Then you assign the bus to a hardware output port. So even if I have 96 I/O ports available in the PC, I'm limited to 26 concurrent output tracks? Is this correct?
I am trying to implement a hybrid approach where I use Vegas for things it does better ITB, but either send stems or even individual tracks outboard for mixing and additional work in the analog world before printing a 2 channel or 5.1 mix to the PC...
Any comments?
