Sorry, my RME Multiface I & II are what have totalmix, but sorry to hear yours doesn't as well (since it's so flexible.) My suggestion on soundcards was more in the direction of separate computers each, though I think Red Muze does use a fireface800 with adat connecting to Scope within the same system (and some others do similarly.) I find that this actually makes Scope *more* powerful for me as the things I use it for are now tailored specifically for Scope while 'general' duties on my main DAW are able to consume more free cycles at will. However I will confess I planned for this path when SonicCore was in a bit of a lull period and I wanted to move to Win7 & 10.6.4 (OSX) without having to wait.

2 ASIO drivers will work as long as the system has the bandwidth & cpu headroom to support the data being processed, but I thought the issue was wave drivers initially? You could handle that with the RME surely...just route it to Scope instead for monitoring or vice versa.

Well, in the studuio that´s a good idea and works.

Thx, I didn´t know that, so it´s worth a try.

My personal idea was, using Scope and Scope´s 15DSP classic card together w/ a live-VST rack software and Reason 4.01 on ONE machine, but w/o using rewire because my prefered VST-live host Cantabile doesn´t support rewire.
All apps together should operate at lowest latency possible.
The wave drivers introduce much more latency compared to the ASIO-2,- so it´s unusable for live gigging.
There´s the option to use a faster machine but the relation between ASIO-2 and wave, latency wise, keeps existing.
I´ve found a way using Reaper as the VST host and rewire Reason to Reaper, but has the limitation of only 16 MIDI channels usable w/ Reaper and it´s hard to automate a boot process which loads Scope startup project, Reaper w/ all the VSTis and Reason as a add. instruments rack already loaded w/ combinators.
The 15 DSP classic is only a test scenario for me before buying a Xite-1.
The main idea is to replicate my existing (large) hardware gig-rig in software,- the studio is another story.

I understand. Personally I've found Bidule or Ableton Live to be my preferred working environments for live use, Bidule when I want to be more realtime within the VST realm (or more experimental) and Ableton for it's structure & Max4Live abilities. Either tied with an Xite from SonicCore would be a dream rig.

I also use Bidule as a plugin host on my Scope rig almost exclusively, it can do some really interesting stuff since it has no global clock and is extremely efficient compared to a DAW app.

bidule is a very nice asio host that supports rewire and is cheap to free.....
