Great news - thanks Bob

Thanks Bob,
As you may have noticed I have a mild interest in the hooks.

[Iain Westland]

may i join your interest Bud? cant wait for the either, but then again this isnt windows or steinberg so we will have to wait till its correct rather than get a program that offers the world but crashes on opening.

After my experience using SAC and SAW together, I can see this becoming a standard way of working for me in all situations. Great work Bob....

Bruce:

How is it that you are using SS & SAC "together"? I thought at this point until the new hooks are available the two programs work separately but not "together". Am I missing something? (Other than possibly Y inputs?)

[Bud Johnson]

Billy K,
If you run SAC you can mix while SS records the dry source input simultaneously. Some run one set of drivers for SAC and a second set of drivers for SS. Personally that doesn't work as well on my setup. I simply run Asio for both.
This only works for recording, not for overdubs as there is now current way to have SAC play SS tracks.

[Bob L]

The record and play hooks appear to be stable at the moment.

I have a few more things I am trying to include in this update and am hoping to get everything finished this weekend.

Billy K, I second everything that Bud said. I bought SAC to do live mixing with SAW recording in the background but when I used them together, I was very impressed and it dawned on me that that this could be a whole new way of working.

I shall have to see the impact of the SAW hooks on overdubbing but if that can be managed, I can get rid of my external mixing desk and use SAW/SAW everywhere in the same fashion. My rig is mobile now and I think this combination will give me a great benefit.

[BillyK]

I guess I am not following how Bud is using ASIO on both programs at the same time and this is why I thought they would not work together until Bob "hooks" them together. I am using a LynxTWO with the LS-ADAT option. I can only assign the sound card (using ASIO) to SS or SAC but not to both at the same time. Could someone please explain how to record on SS while using SAC to mix. IF I missed a thread explaining this procedure I apologize.

Billy,
I'm sure others here will chime in but I believe the Asio driver has to be multi-client to pull this off. RME's drivers are and I can run 2 different apps with them.

[BillyK]

Jazzbox:

Thanks for the info. I thought I had the latest drivers & firmware, but just in case I just downloaded from Lynx and will try an update next time I am at the studio. Hope that will do the trick.

Good luck with it Bill- But from Bob's reply it will be a non-issue very shortly

[Bud Johnson]

What Vinny said, but I don't know that a driver gives all cards the same abilities. Nor do I know they don't.
For more on what I don't know, never mind we don't have time.

[Bob L]

It is driver dependent whether you can work with 2 or more apps at the same time.

With the hooks... it no longer matters, plus it drops the load drastically because SAW no longer even addresses the driver... all audio handling is direct between SAC and SAW and SAC is the only app that deals with the soundcard.

i'm all a quiver waiting for these

Thanks again

Are the hooks going to be available in SawStudio Basic as well? I see that the SawStudio release notes only reference Lite and Full with the hooks.
