Is there a multi output WDM driver available for Real Band and Power Tracks? I have no success with asio and with mme driver I only have a stereo in and a stereo out. I have a M-audio 4 input 8 output profire 610 interface and it seems like such a waste. Ive tried asio on 3 computers with 3 versions of Power Tracks and none of them gave satisfactory results. I even tried asio4all same results. Ive used multi output WDM drivers with other software but cant seem to see it as one of the options in Power Tracks.
The bigger question would be...does BB & RB actually support more than 2 inputs and 2 outputs (stereo) at a time?
Cakewalk, for example, sells a number of DAW's. Some of those only have 2 inputs allowed, where as the larger Sonar line supports multiple in & out. Their Music Creator line of DAW's don't care how many inputs and outputs the interface has, it will only recognize 2 of them at a time.

Yes RB (not BB) natively supports as many ins/outs as your system can list.
I've run multiple cards, each with 8 in/out, to get 16 in/out total more than once. Mind you these cards could be sync'd to avoid drifting, but a single device with 8 in/out is used quite regularly here in RB and PT.
The OP stated in his post it was RB and PT (not BB).
I suspect the manufacturers driver is not properly installed so windows can see it.

When I click the driver dropdown button I see MME and Asio. Asio gives me glitches and odd noises and all kinds of other problems and when I use MME I only seem to have acess to L,R in and L,R out. Ive used the same interface with other software that under WDM or MME drivers shows me all my inputs and outputs. In Power Tracks I only see the 2 options I mentioned. In Reaper I see 5 different options without changing anything in my computer. Why does Power Tracks only show 2 ? Does anyone else see multiple ins and outs with the mme driver ?

ASIO should be the more stable and capable of the drivers BUT...that depends on the hardware. If the hardware is designed to run with ASIO, and you are having issues, the setup is not right. If the hardware is not designed to run with ASIO, such as factory cards in laptops (generally) MME is the way to go.

I would entertain the idea of malfunctioning driver except this has persisted thru 2 intefaces 3 different computers and 3 versions of power tracks. Also the interface shows me all my ins and outs in 2 other daws and Audacity and Sound Forge audio editors.
I would think if it was some sort of driver issue I would have noticed at least some sort of asio issue with at least one other audio application.
Currently musing a M-Audio Profire 610 but Ive never seen all my inputs under Power Tracks MME driver with other interfaces either. Again has anyone seen multipli ins and outs under MME in Power Tracks or Realband.
Realband is like that, things that work in every other DAW don't in RB and common things in other DAWs are not in RB. It is a shame because it is awesome in what it can do, but the interface is so Junior School and behind the times.
Yes Rharv which version is that you are using? My latest version is Power Tracks 2012. Maybe newer versions have better support for multiple ins and outs under MME.
PT has supported multiple in/outs for many many years, your version is not the problem. You are not using the correct drivers (most likely). Or firewire chip issue.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!
Well Ive tried asio4all and the results were unsatisfactory so I guess Im just out of driver options and I really don't want to experiment with another firewire card as this one works fine with other daws and audio editors. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions. I guess I just have a combination that doesn't play well with Power Tracks.
PT does need the OS to recognize the drivers. Otherwise I'm kind of lost.
I'd suggest making a post in the Off Topic forum and ask if *anyone* has the Firewire 610 working in ANY PGMusic product. If so, their settings/setup may offer clues, as PT should be as capable as the rest of the products.

While NOT the FW 610 I AM using the FW 410 - have been since my first Win XP machine in 2004.
This pre-dates RB and goes back to around PT 10 or maybe PT 9?? (well before PG started naming PT as PTPA 20xx - with a YEAR)
I just did a quick re-install of PTPA 2010 for grins (two versions before yours) and all the MME I/O of the FW 410 is seen by PT (see pic).
For completeness I am running Win 7 64 bit PC (see specs below) now but was running, until just two years ago Win XP 32 bit, and STILL run WIN XP as dual boot, as laptop, and as VM - ALL with PTPA, RB and BIAB installed.
I also normally, but not exclusively, run ASIO drivers (either M- Audio's or ASIO4ALL - depends on how I feel, what I'm doing, etc.)

Your graphic looks like what I see in other Daws on the same computer with WDM or MME drivers. But not in Power Tracks. I only get stereo in and stereo out.
1. In Larry's graphic I'm only seeing 2 'inputs' available. Many more Outputs.
2. Again, suggest checking the driver package for the device. If suspect, uninstall then reinstall new drivers. Larry may be able to offer more insight into which drivers he's had success with, and how he installed them.
3. Notice Larry's selected 'Audio File Type' Is yours the same? This may affect choices available..and behave differently in different DAWs.

"Is there a multi output WDM driver available for Real Band and Power Tracks"
In short, as you pointed out, all 10 outputs are listed: FW 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, S/PDIF (S/PDIF = 9&10), and the SW multichannel. There are no more outs on a FW-410 (that I am aware of?).
Also the picture DOES show all AVAILABLE MME FW 410 inputs: 2 analog "Line 1 &2 (FW 410)," 2 more digital inputs the "S/PDIF (FW410,") - that exhausts the actual physical ins on a FW 410, but it also shows the "Multichannel (FW410)" which represents the FW SW RTN "mix" controlled via the M-Audio FW control panel. Only the M-Audio control panel controls that multichannel mix attribute - not any DAW.
I think I have shown that a on a Win 7 64 machine with a properly installed & configured M-Audio driver PTPA 2010 (and beyond, since I have used 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and now 2014) sees all FW410 I/O's.
Turns out that is also a true statement, for me at least, on a WIN XP 32 bit machine. I already knew this, but I also double checked it works with RB and every other DAW I own - I have a couple Sonar, Reaper, Mixcraft, Cubase and few not so common.
BTW that is NOT my normal I/O config I just selected that config for this quick check of PTPA and RB going back to the first PTPA 20xx.

I do hope you get it sorted out.
Good luck Larry

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
