Ok dudes:

Only very few ASIO drivers support true multiple application access. This effectively means that you can not use 2 or more applications using the same ASIO device at the same time.

The ASIO Multiclient wrapper overcomes this problem by providing a 'proxy' ASIO driver (the ASIO client), several of which can connect to the one ASIO Server, which in turn 'speaks' to the target ASIO device (driver). The server mixes the output streams of all applications, and provides that mix to the target device.

This baby acts like an ASIO server in the background! Choose it in multiple ASIO Apps (ASIO client) and have fun!

Many thanks SunSynth,

Yippee, 😀 I can now keep VSTHost running at the same time as S|M for quick testing of my exported VSTs. Have to run my driver at slightly higher latency it seems (not much though), a small price to pay I think.

Nice find sunsynth! and a timely one at that! 😀

Oh ok, so it acts like a ASIO driver to several applications at once, mixes them, then sends the final mixdown to the real ASIO driver. Neato Would be nice if it re-routed streams also, so 1 ASIO out could be another host's ASIO in.

cool!

Very nice. Using it and wishing that I could have this started automatically and run in the back so I dont have to think about it.

Thanx Sunnyboy 🙂

There's a nice little plugin for doing this between VST hosts (Not main ASIO ins/outs though sadly...) http://www.dontcrack.com/freeware/downloads.php/id/3486/software/Soundbus/ Insert an instance into source and destination tracks and then set them to the same channel - the two instances can be within the same host as well - it's a nice little problem solver.

Glad u like it boys 🙂

sadly the link 2 the Soundbus 1.1 VST download is dead 😝 Do u have a working link?

trogluddite ·

Ooops, sorry about that, dragged that one out of my Bookmarks without checking. KVRs link is dead too. 🙁 When I'm next on my big machine I'll try to remember to dig out the .dll and post it up (no license required - freeware)

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
