Info

Using the WDM/KS drivers (Windows Vista) In Windows XP, multichannel audio cards are treated as surround devices. A 16 input/output audio card would be seen as a 16 channel surround device, a 64 channel audio card (such as the SSL Mixpander or SSL MadiXtreme 64) would be seen as a 64 channel surround device. Since this was not suitable for DAW software, the Soundscape driver implemented stereo and/or eight channel ‘virtual devices’ on top of the actual audio device. In Vista, the way audio devices are handled has been changed several times by Microsoft. At the time of writing, only the first input and output virtual device is seen by Windows Vista. Despite this, DAW applications should still be able to see all the WDM/KS devices, as shown here in Cakewalk Sonar: Note however that most current audio applications can use the SSL Soundscape ASIO-2 drivers (including Sonar).

Using the SSL Soundscape ASIO-2 Driver ASIO (Audio Streaming Input Output) is a Steinberg specification, originally developed for Cubase VST and used thereafter in subsequent versions of Cubase and Nuendo. This driver protocol intends to provide a more direct interface for multi-channel audio streaming than the legacy Multimedia drivers and most PC-based software DAWs (for instance Cakewalk Sonar, Magix Samplitude or Cockos Reaper) now also support ASIO as an option. ASIO-2 expands upon the original specification to provide additional features for compatible audio cards. One such feature allows the monitoring to be switched from play to record so that there is no delay in monitoring the input signal through the PC. Another feature is the ability to use accurate hardware synchronisation capabilities via the card and ASIO-2 driver. The SSL Soundscape ASIO-2 driver is automatically installed as part of the SSL Soundscape Device Drivers and should be available for selection in Cubase or Nuendo under the name SSL Soundscape ASIO. Setting up ASIO (example Steinberg Nuendo): Select Device Setup under the Devices menu, select VST Audio System and use the ASIO Driver drop-down menu: • The Release ASIO Driver in Background box should be unchecked – if it is checked, the audio output from Cubase SX or Nuendo will stop when the window is minimised or you switch to another application (like the SSL Mixer V6). • To access the Direct Monitoring option, select Device Setup under the Devices menu, then select SSL Soundscape ASIO under VST Audio System. The Direct Monitoring box should be checked to switch monitoring between the input (for recording) and output (for playback) from Cubase or Nuendo. Please note that at the time of writing, Direct Monitoring has not been implemented for MadiXtreme and MX4. Page 25
