Roland tr-8 using multiple audio outs via USB in Cubase 7.5

I don’t see a quality problem here (sound is same as from analog out), and every channel actually does transmit their sound. However i would like to know same thing. To utilize TR-8 over USB i need to choose it as a soundcard then i can see TR-8 channels - however if i do that every other I/O setup assigned to my original soundcard is missing (obviously).

So the question is - how do i keep and use my original soundcard and my whole setup, as is - but being able to use Tr-8 as well. I do realize that on Mac they have soundcard cascading sort of so people on Mac can do it natively - but i am on Win and AFAIK when working with ASIO only one card can be utilized.

So the question is how?

I don’t want to use asio4all, i want my original RME driver. Did anyone managed to connect and run in Cubase - original soundcard AND tr-8 via USB at the same time on Windows?

I have more then 20 real input/output assigned to my Cubase via my RME MADI card. And i do need them.

I shouldn’t say the Quality is an issue, what I should say is the rate they use is. If your cards don’t play nice you get artifacts and it will sound…well you know.

That said, as already noted… the only way is w/ASIO4all. or switch back and forth between the ARIA and your SC …which is a PITA.
The ARIA is seen as a Soundcard and since you can only have 1 at a time it won’t configure the way we want.

I don’t like ASIO 4 all either and find myself not using my machines as much right now.

I will be re-configuring my setup soon but of course, leave it up to Roland to design this like this and force you Print audio like it was 1999. smmfh

Then again, whose fault is it that allows us only 1 SC in use at a time?

I am totally with you on asking for a working Aira in pair with our soundcard. Because it is very inconvenient to switch cards only to be able to use Aira. Totally stupid. Access Virus TI solved it with their synth, Roland can as well.

Regarding 96khz and your quality issue. Well that isn’t quality issue. That is feature issue for you. I don’t know but i am seeing it like this - it’s 2014 and every decent semi pro soundcard should really run fine at 96khz. Heck i did not had problems at 96khz for the last 7 years or something. Before that was issue since it used a lot of CPU but in today computers 96khz is really fine on i7 2600k given that you have decent audio card.

Anyway does anyone know where of whom to ask via official channel about this? Seems extremely lame to not be able to use Aira in studio setup other then crippling it…
