Hello,

Also i have unselected the u46dj from reason. i have tried restarting and everything. Does anyone have any suggestions??


Sounds to me like Reason did something to the ASIO driver, try reinstalling the ASIO driver and reconfiguring or re"wizard"ing MixVibes for the U46DJ after that. Should work fine afterwards...

thanks for the advice. i will try that. does this mean i can not have reason and mixvibes running on the same computer. Or just at the same time? or just on the same soundcard?

Hello,

Don't know exactly, it could have been a one time problem, it can be something reason will always do, all you can do is try it out. Even if you can't get them both at the same time, you can still get them on the same computer with multi-boot.

Mixvibes is using your full Asio Soundcard.
This means that both inputs and both output are using by Mixvibes.

If the in- or outputs are occupied by an application it is not possible to use a second application on the same card.

It is also not possible to use 2 asiocards on 1 computer, because 1 processor can't handel two of these "heavy"cards.

If it works with a dual processor i don't know.

You can try the normal standard soundcard selected for reason and your asio card for mixvibes.

But attension!! those two programs together will use a lot of CPU.

The way i work: one PC P4(2Gb Ram) with mixvibes and all MP3 files (400Gb)

Another PC P4 (2Gb) with reason and Cubase SX3 (with also ASIO card)

Now i can record files from Mixevibes in the multitrack sequencer from Cubase and import at the same time patterns from reason.

Wire up PC with MV to 2 channels (like usally) to your mixer, then record output to the other PC with Cubase and reason... and voila it works fine.
