Please, How To Record More Than 2 Mono Channels In Live 5.1

LUCIANO VR6 · Aug 6, 2005, 01:59 PM

Hi People, i´m from Brazil.

Well... I have a doubt.

It´s possible to record more than 2 mono channels in Sound Blaster Live 5.1 (SB0200). At this moment i record by LINE IN port 2 telephone lines (L and R).

Well... I need record more than this for each Sound Blaster 5.1 . I know that if i use more Sound Blaster cards I can record more lines... But i need record more lines with only ONE sound blaster 5.1 ou Audigy....

Can any one help me?

* I don´t need quality!

Use ASIO. With your 10K1 based card you should be able to record up to 14 mono channels using ASIO. (Of course you still only have the 1 line in though, to record multiple external lines, I think you would need some kind of multiplexer).

I *think* you would need to add the LINE2 IN dac/spdif available on the 'live drive' connector. And use ASIO as mentioned above.

U can use digital inputs if your card has the AUD_EXT connector or if you have a LiveDrive - it depends on your card model how many SPDIF inputs are available. Without LiveDrive you need also an analog to SPDIF-converter module for each SPDIF input to have access from analog stereo sources.
