[PodcastMN] Alesis Firewire

[Steve Borsch]

Brian,

When I did this post (
http://www.iconnectdots.com/ctd/2007/08/ctd-for-august-.html) it was after
wrestling with a bunch of new gear...including the Alesis Multimix8
Firewire. The software that accepts channels like you describe are Logic,
Pro Tools and ones that allow multi-channel setup.

There are also ways to use Soundflower (
http://www.cycling74.com/products/soundflower) to route the Mac's Core Audio
to various applications...but this was just too much effort to figure out
since all I wanted was system-level, Core Audio to be recognized by *any*
app on the Mac. That's why I ended up buying the MBox2 (which comes with Pro
Tools).

I was unable to get Firewire/CoreAudio to be "seen" from the Alesis or the
Mackie 1620 which I replaced it with (and ultimately returned). Maybe others
know more.
