Thanks, Steve

Hey Steve,

Read here, it tells how to do what you want!

Multiple configurations

Hi Sam, What is happening here is that you can create shortcuts for Cantabile with different aliases to placed on your desktop. After this is done you can start each shortcut you created, configure the options, exit and when it restarts it will load the last known configuration you set up for it. So using the method described in the Guide I created these 2 examples. [image] I then selected the light theme shortcut [image] I set the theme to light and the audio to null ckicked OK and then ex…

Hi Steve,

if you simply want to switch between the two sound cards, you don’t even need to use configurations:

just be sure that your audio ports have LOGICAL names like “Main Stereo Out”, “Piano Out”, “Synth Out” or whatever, so nothing ties your songs to PHYSICAL outputs like “Babyface Out”

Now for each sound card do the following:

• In Tools–>Options–>Audio Engine select the audio driver for the respective sound card (ASIO if you have it, I’d say…)
• next, in Audio Ports, you will see the assignments for the individual channels of each logical output. This will be the assignments for this specific sound card; you can make assignments FOR EVERY SOUND CARD in your system. Now simply make the assignments by double-clicking each relevant channel and adding the correct physical output. Now you’ve made your assignments for this sound card; once you close Options, things should work.

So whenever you want to change sound cards, simply go to Tools–>Options–>Audio Engine and select a different driver → done!

Cheers,

Torsten
