I am using Ableton Live to output stereo via my PC laptop’s 3.5mm jack and route to my SQ-5’s ST1 In input. I believe it’s using the Realtek ASIO driver - but I’m not positive.
I’d like simultaneously to do a multitrack recording (approx 16 channels) from my SQ-5 to my PC laptop. I’ve tested multitrack recording to a separate PC using the SQ ASIO driver. I’ve read that most ASIO drivers default to exclusive mode and in order for an ASIO driver to be used simultaneously by two applications, the driver must open audio devices in shared mode.
Before I modify drivers on my working Ableton PC, can someone advise if what I want to do is possible or advisable with the SQ ASIO driver?
This is for a live theater production and I don’t want to overtax my PC and potentially have it freeze during a performance. Likewise, I’d just as soon not have to have two PCs if I can accomplish the task with one.
Advice? Thank you!
