USB Audio Interface Question

[sww1235]

Hello:

I have a question about audio interfaces. I have a computer that is running several pieces of software that have individually configurable audio inputs and outputs separate from the system settings, for example garage band and skype.

I would like to be able to route audio from each program out through an audio interface and then route program audio back into the computer for each program. So basically, 2 ins and 2 outs for skype and 2 ins and 2 outs for garage band.

Now I know i can do this with multiple 2x2 interfaces, but my question is: can i do this with one say 16x16 interface. so routing pairs of channels to each piece of software on the computer.

Thanks

Yes, I've done what you're describing before. Each program should be able to "see" all 16i/o ports so you can assign the i/o however you want.

And, if that doesn't work, you could point the software to Soundflower virtual device(s) - then you can route your hardware channels in whatever arrangement you please.
