Hello,
I would like to apply two inputs to breakaway one concurrently, an analog input and a digital input which will be fed either from live desk (analog) or automation (digital) depending on if there is a dj on air.
Using Voicemeeter potato or banana this can take two physical ASIO interfaces (digital and analog) and combine to a virtual ASIO output. When I feed this in to breakaway one there is no audio incoming.
I have fed the same inputs via ASIO in to cool edit and it records fine.
How can I get this to work, or is there another way that I can feed two inputs in to breakawayone or easily switch inputs without stopping breakawayone?
Thank you
BA1 can only have one ASIO device defined per core, but, if that device has a digital and an analogue input, both can be active at the same time. Some ASIO sound cards provide switching or mixing capabilities within them, but even if they don't both inputs can be defined, so long as only one is used at a time. I have a digital input via my playout software which comes in via Virtual Audio Cable, and I also have a phono preamp connected directly to the ASIO analogue inputs. If I want to play digital music, it uses VAC. If I play a record, it uses the soundcard input. Of course, there is a risk that you can play both at the same time.
Hi Milky thanks for your reply.
Can you please advise how you defined both inputs? Is one WDM and the other ASIO?
Thank you.
JamesHi James (my real name too :))
I have one HD core selected through Main Configuration > Audio Processing Cores.
Then, click on Main Configuration > HD Processor > Input and select KS Streaming (if this works for you). Also select Breakaway Pipeline 1. This will allow my playback software to play through the VAC interface.Then, click on Main Configuration > HD Processor > Output and select KS Streaming, and then "Disabled" for the output device (you can change this to suit your needs).
Click on Common Audio Devices > ASIO > Main and select your sound card. Set up the buffers, sample rate etc to suit.
Click on Common Audio Devices > ASIO > Inputs and select your soundcard analogue interface. This is where the analogue inputs from the soundcard will mix into the audio.
Click on Common Audio Devices > ASIO > Outs. I have Common Monitor turned OFF. Under HD Processor and select your soundcard Digital Outs Left and Right. I have Speaker Outputs OFF.
That should be it! Connect your analogue and digital inputs to the soundcard, and you should be able to play either.
Cheers, James
Perfect, thank you for your detailed explanation, I will give this a go!
I didn't realise that both inputs could be used at the same time – great! 🙂[quote author=Bambamboyo link=topic=5622.msg19731#msg19731 date=1548581493]

Doing some more fiddling around, I think this might be that BAone doesn't like the 24bit sample depth coming from voicemeter potato's virtual ASIO output (when fed in to BAone). I tried as another expermiment with Dante virtual sound card to feed in to BAone, and that only worked in 16 or 32bit sampling depth, with 24 bit set on the ASIO virtual device, BAone loaded and ran but there was no audio input.
