cakewalk dosent see all four tascam inputs

Pro Audio version 9 (and prior versions) only support recording of 2 audio tracks at a time.

To AI H:
 
That may or may not work. I know you can arm as many tracks for recording as you want. What I would be wondering, because I don't know this myself, is whether you can get the wave profiler to "see" more than two "inputs", not tracks.
 
If what you're saying is correct, that would be very cool and make for a more realistic "studio soundboard" type of recording experience.
 
I hope kook reads all of this and actually tries your suggestion, and please, please report back as to whether it worked or not.
 
This is to kook:
What does the Window's Sound Properties for Record tell you? As far as selecting a set of inputs through Windows to use which the PA9 wave profiler would be able to then recognize?

Thx Al H.
 
I only have an Audigy 2 Platinum with a front side bay, but it does have a number of stereo inputs available and Windows does recognize them. The problem I run into with this setup is it seems that Win XP in the Sound Properties "slash" Record control panel will only allow one check box for one particular set of stereo inputs. So maybe it's a Sound Card and possibly Windows limitation I have?
 
I just downloaded and read the manual for the Delta 1010LT card. From the looks of it the card uses the M Audio software and it's control panel to establish the inputs and outputs. That sounds like a very nice way to go rather than what I am doing. Thx man. I'm definitely going to check that out.

Well I have used various Analog and Digital inputs as well as MIDI, so it would seem that Cakewalk can see it all, but only shows what is "checkbox" selected as a recording input in Windows Sound Control Properties.
 
That's why, after reading a PDF manual on the 1010LT I saw that it uses it's own control panel that more than likely allows selection of all inputs and outputs, whereas either Windows or the Audigy 2 Platinum can only provide a total of 2 at a time for 2 mono or 1 stereo. So right now I run 2 tracks as one left and one right. I then use groups of two other left/right mono tracks to lay down other parts.
 
For recording with other musicians it would be good to have the ability to patch them in as well without using a mixer.
 
The Audigy2 has a Line In, Mic In, Aux In (on the back (the physical sound card itself), and a Line In 2/ Mic In 2 shared RCA with a volume control knob (The line ins are stereo), a left and right RCA pair Aux 2, two RCA (one is in , one is out) SPDIF, and one each in and out Fiber Optic, one each MIDI in and out, Firewire, headphone jack, and IR control on the front side drive bay.
 
I was into both Gaming and Keyboards when I built this PC. As for the keyboards I have, I use a Kurzweil K2600XS and a Roland XP80 workstations. I used to play in bands but now I want to concentrate on song writing and recording again. At my age it's getting more of a hassle to transport gear all over town, but I would like a nice convenient studio that can accomodate a band for recording and practicing.
