Hi all,
I dream of a setup where I can mix in my PC the signals from VST, softsynths and, last but not least, a few external gears. The whole thing in realtime of course. The mix would be done either in VST(why not?) or in the mixer of the card...
I know I can do it with Pulsar, but I wouldn't use all the synth part so It's a bit of a waste. Creamware released the Lunar for this purpose, but it's too expensive for what it is and the mixer looks a bit like a toy...
So my questions are:
I don't know if I can do it with the DSP factory, can I?
Is there others card that can do it?
Thanks

Something I don't anderstand: Can I, in VST, select one of the input of the card as the IN of a track and just monitor: VST playing and the data comming from the input won't have any delay?

I've got acid song running and all the tracks routed thru hoontech to outboard mixer then to compressor and to vitalizer and back to stereo channel of my desk. from there i take it to hoontech inputs 1and2...
So how should i record it? i noticed there's some snapping/popping (not from volume) when i recorded it with acid... what program should i use cooledit maybe? or what would be best solution (routing also) with that sort of equipment?

Actually there is a thread in the forum which answerd the question, "How is Hoontech?", the answer is YES. The thing is possible with outboard gears.
Now the next question is about softsynth like Reaktor and others, how can I make them go into the VST mixer if they don't support Rewire???
Pulsar provide some kind of virtual audio port, the synth choose it as an output and the mixer as an input. A bit like Virtual Audio Cable but without any latency... Any other??

By upgrading the PC and getting a good soundcard I could mix the reaktor outputs, let say 2, 2 outgears and the usual things. This makes 6 more dataflow to handler by the PC as the rest is done by the card. This is not a bit deal indeed.
I know setup like that running with Pulsar, with a lot of flexibility. I am just looking for an audio card only (no synth and so on) that can do it as well.
I have sended a mail to creamware asking them more about the Lunar capacities, maybe Creamware are the only one doing that.
