yeah I figured I wouldn’t get that lucky. It’s too bad when companies designs these things they don’t make them compatible with each other. I am pretty sure I am not the only one that could use a couple more channels. it would be nice if you could purchase these interfaces standardized throughout the line by the same company to work with cubase or other DAW without having to shell out the money to buy another 8 channel interface.

Hi you may (or may not) want to consider ‘aggregate audio devices’, Apple:OSX once had this in their [System Preferences]::AudioSetup [as a default], and it is still do able in the current OSX, just not as easy to find.

I believe in Windows, you would have to try something like ASIO4ALL.
The ASIO4ALL driver would end up wrapping up the multiple interfaces[drivers] and then present into the DAW.
If you Google “asio4all” you will no doubt see some examples … I have not tried this in Windows at all myself though.
Cheers,

It might work with Asio4all, but at what latency rates ? - I think, it is not a good idea at all…
