Don't ask me for a release date for this patch, it'll be done when it's done!

That is correct, having used them myself. Most mixers with USB work that way, with only a few exceptions in the lower price range (more of the expensive stuff does have multitrack interfaces built in). Reminds me, I have a Mackie Onyx 1640 with the firewire interface that I need to finish rebuilding. Wonder if it'll work in BIAB... I work here

There are so many interfaces to choose in the sub-$300 USD price range, but I think the UAD will take off if the 610 and 1176 emulation in it is good. Personally would've preferred an LA-2A over the 1176, at least for vocals, but the 1176 is definitely no slouch! I work here

Impressive ive found. And NO before someone asks i have no link to them other than as a user.

Jim Fogle Veteran Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 10,205 Winston-Salem, NC USA	The Lewitt Control 6 audio interface looks very interesting. It has a lot of connectivity options, two independent headphone jacks, built-in DSP as well as a standalone two channel mixer option. Not bad at all for $299 US. Hopefully Lewitt USA will be able to convince USA music retailers to offer the product.

I don't use expensive audio devices on RB I just use the system audio with Voicemeeter ASIO to create up tracks and mix. I had a Phonic 18ch USB Mixer I lent out and they had it on all the time using it as a system audio device and the power supply burnt out and I had to pull it all apart to fix it. RB used to crash like ALL the time but directly they made it 64bit I rarely got a crash. With Voicemeeter you have Voicemeeter ASIO and Voicemeeter AUX ASIO so I can run Biab on one ASIO and Reaper on the other. https://stash.reaper.fm/u/ReaTrak (Scripts for Biab Reaper) Open SGU in Reaper Instantly

rharv Veteran Joined: May 2000 Posts: 21,692 Mi., USA	You keep using this term multi-client. Scarlett interfaces have been able to be used on multiple software apps at the same time for a long time. Example: I run the stand-alone version of Kontakt and RB at the same time thru it commonly. Send MIDI to Kontakt, and use the Audio Out routings in Komplete to get it back into the Focusrite mixer where I want it. IE send Komplete out 5/6, which is routed back around into RB 3/4 inputs .. does this meet the requirements? .. if so this has been the case since gen 1 I think ... Or are you talking about syncing clocks? Cause syncing clocks is a whole different animal. Or are you talking about having RB somehow talk to Kontakt (other than MIDI)? Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Interfaces are not multi-client - drivers are. Since Focusrite uses a universal driver for the Scarlett interfaces, this should mean that all Scarlett interfaces are multi-client. Other manufacturers are likely the same, however this is a pretty broad generalization. For example, Behringer uses ASIO4All for some of their interfaces (which is NOT multi-client), while others have bespoke drivers (which may or may not be multi-client). I work here
