Virtual Audio Cable (VAC)

I found this on another forum±
http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm

Still have to test the demo (its limited to 2 devices I think ) Full version
cost 21 euros.

Anybody using this ? To combine FLStudio & Ableton this might be nice....
I can send FLStudio audio to ableton..... then ableton with asio to scope.

So if I want to change something in a loop, I can just record the changed
signal from flstudio! Or is Rewire better for this ? I wonder... never have
used THAT.

Ok here is the feature list from the Virtual Cable device:

* Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista platforms (32-bit and 64-bit).
* Native WDM/KS audio technology.
* Up 256 Virtual Cables (Windows limits number of MME devices to 32. Number of DirectSound devices is not limited). Trial version is limited to 2 cables only.
* 1..20 milliseconds per interrupt.
* 1..100 pin instances.
* Almost any of fixed point PCM audio formats (200..1000000 samples per second, 8..32 bits per sample, 1..8 channels). Floating point formats are not supported.
* Almost no sound latency with maximal interrupt frequency.
* Unlimited number of clients connected to each port.
* Signal mixing (with saturation) between output port clients.
* PCM format conversion.
* Volume control features.
* Control Panel application to dynamically configure cables.
* Audio Repeater application that transfers from any Wave In to any Wave Out port.

you can use fruityloops as a vst plugin anywways, and the rewire thingy, (although i dont trust that very much)

yes but I swore an oath not to use VST. I already get lost on Scope & FLStudio and as tempting as VST land is, it would be too much of a distraction

So perhaps I'll try rewire. Maybe I am still getting one to see what its capable of. And how much cpu it takes. I like having things seperate. and connecting wires & cables. Do flexible routing. Dont know where that comes from

Perhaps we can link Scope & Xite with it

or maybe SCP5 will have more flexible drivers.... that be nice

Using VAC to route audio will result in a lot of latency.

There's nothing dirty about VST plugins.... you're shooting yourself in the foot by refusing to use them IMHO. You'll still be playing samples on the computer's CPU whichever method you use to connect up the apps. At least if you use a VST plugin it's properly sync'ed and recalled with your host project.
