Basic question about soundcards with multiple outputs
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 8:23 pm
Sorry about this but I'm far behind the times in terms of tech..
Suppose I buy a soundcard that has multiple outputs, ostensibly for 'surround sound'. Can I route a track to each output channel individually? The software I have in mind is JACK and Ardour multittracker. I plan to route each instrument track to a separate output on the soundcard, and from take each channel from the soundcard to an analog mixer, then dub it while recording the mixed output to tape. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
