DBX Driverack 260 and DriveWare

[bjgowers]

Hello,
Has anyone had experience using the DBX Driverack 260 processors along with the editing software, DriveWare? I am specifically looking for a way to connect multiple driverack units to my computer and build a "Venue" in driveware with all the devices. Because the units use RS232 and not Cat5, I am able to edit one unit at a time using my RS232 to USB adapter. I've tried using multiple usb adapters into a USB hub, but this puts each device on its own Com port, and the DriveWare software will only connect to a single com port. I'm thinking about ordering the device at the link below, which will connect multiple RS232 ports to a single USB, but i'm not sure if this will create the same problem. Any thoughts would be helpful. My other space uses BSS London units with AudioArchitect, so I've been a little spoiled lately. I know the driverack units are several steps down, but I'd still like some form of quick access.

Thanks!

That should work. The catch is the software has to be able to use Com 1 through Com 4. I have run into software than won't accept more than a couple of serial port numbers, but I can't say whether that is the case here. I suggest checking that before spending money.

The limitation is a software one. A quick Google shows that opening up two instances of the program and mapping each one to its own com port works just fine.
