So you want to use the A&H’s ASIO ports in parallel to your laptop’s audio output via WASAPI?
Unfortunately, that won’t work - Cantabile will run either in ASIO or in WASAPI mode.
You might try ASIO4ALL - some users have been successfull running multiple parallel audio interfaces through ASIO4ALL. Your mileage may vary though - can’t guarantee that ASIO4ALL will work with your A&H mixer and that running two parallel audio interfaces through it won’t result in sync glitches.
Thanks Torsten - I sorta had a hunch it wouldn’t, just wanted to make sure there was no “sneaky” work-arounds that were guaranteed reliable. As you write, the syncing might be an issue and when playing live that would be a no-no!
What you’d need is this which at one point I did have a proof of concept working. I’d like to finish it, but I’m concerned it would open a can of worms and I’ve got more important things at the moment.
Also, just in case some are wondering what benefits this would bring? Well for one it would allow a separate “out” so one could run a bass patch out to a bass amp without sacrificing a stereo feed. IE panning to allow the separate bass.
For example, if you check the Roland FA-08 it has a mono out that does exactly that. It is totally apart from the main L/R outputs. Be really handy for solo giggers like me that like to play their own basslines!
