#2 SOUND CARDS IN ONE PC DRIVERS#

Never having used this Tascam FW-1082 with a computer before (only stand-alone mode) I hooked it up to laptop via it's Firewire. Just yesterday, I've actually began to do something a little different than the above.or should I say 'in addition to the above'. I've been using this Tascam FW-1082 in 'stand-alone' operation as my monitor mixer.monitoring all 4 DAW when one, or more, or all 4 are playing in sync. From each of my 4 Aardvark Q10's main Left/Right monitor outputs, I run 1/4' cables out via an 8 cable snake - into my Tascam FW-1082 mixer/controller/interface's Line Inputs. I use Aardvark Q10 audio cards in each of my 4 DAW PC's. You 'can' however do the piggy-backing as described above.again with one in stand-alone mode, and the other to your DAW via it's ASIO driver selected as your audio device.ДЄctually, come to think of it, what I do in my home studio is something 'kinda similar' (or maybe it's not?). You must choose which 'one' in your DAW is the ASIO device.

unless you're using the cards by the same manufacturer, that are able to run under the same drivers (multi-client drivers I believe it is), you can't use them simultaneously within your DAW software.

I must point out that even though both cards can be connected to your PC. I don't see why you can't run analog audio between cards though. Often their connected to each other by a digital audio connection, 8 channel adat for example. that is one of the sound cards is capable of operating in a 'stand-alone mode' you can run the outputs of that, into the sound card that you're using in your computer (piggy-back) this is typically to gain more inputs/outputs. What I've 'heard' but not have experience myself is.
