You could instead select the other "USB Audio Codec" for Playback Engine, but then you would only get input - no output (fine if you just need to capture something without monitoring then switch back to the other to play back). Pro Tools is the industry standard for recording software and the teams at Alesis and AVID have crafted a version of this amazing audio and MIDI recording. It also includes all the software you need to begin your production. (Still might need to Default your I/O in the Input and Output tabs.) MultiMix 4 USB FX comes with high-quality Alesis DSP effects that include spacious reverbs, delays, phasers and much more. So try launching Pro Tools with N and select Pro Tools Aggregate I/O for your Playback Engine. Pro Tools is the industry standard for recording software and the teams at Alesis and AVID have crafted a version of this amazing audio and MIDI recording software. Pro Tools Aggregate I/O gets around this limitation by allowing you to combine the Input and Output of your CoreAudio device to treat it as one. The MultiMix 4 USB FX includes all the software you need to begin your production. If you are selecting "USB Audio Codec" then that is either just the Input or just Output of your Alesis (sounds like the latter based on your problem). Pro Tools can only have 1 "device" as its Playback Engine. I have attached another screen shot to show what I see. I do have USB CODEC selected as the Playback engine.
#ALESIS MULTIMIX 4 USB VERSION DRIVERS#
I'm really starting to miss my old Reel to Reel machines and all the other not digital equipment of yesteryear, no drivers required, the old turn the knob, press the button it just worked stuff.I initially DID have to start with the N key down because I was getting the prompt that the I/O was not recognized (or something like that). Unless maybe in the upper extreme price level stuff that are all way way way out of my limited poor person price range.
#ALESIS MULTIMIX 4 USB VERSION 64 BIT#
seek out and buy an old 32 Bit XP machine with a working TI chipset Firewire port, or find one of the old approved by Alesis Belkin 32 bit PCI cards somewhere, and live with the never having more than 3 gigs of usable RAM limit, you must have a 64 bit system to break that 3 gig RAM limit.Īnd even if I do all that it's still a big gamble on the mixer working properly or at all or lasting more than a week, there are a lot of posts/reviews out there about these dysfunctional mixers online, even more about the lousy Alesis customer support problems.Īnyone out there know of a non-Alesis mixer out there that will stream multichannel audio in W7 64 bit into Reaper and still let me use the Hard Drive for recording? I haven't found anything out there so far claiming that ability. buy a new mixer, proven to work in W7 64 environment ,or C. write my own drivers, if Alesis will give me the needed info or B. This compact mixer is perfect for computer-recording setups, intimate live-sound environments, video-editing and production studios, and portable podcasting setups. My only other options now are to either, A. MultiMix 4 USB FX is a four-channel desktop mixer with a USB digital audio interface that lets you mix live, in the home studio, and record audio directly to a computer.
#ALESIS MULTIMIX 4 USB VERSION HOW TO#
So if anyone out there knows how to "Open" the mixer please share that info. I told them to call the guys down the hall that actually wrote the code and ask them why they wrote that word in, what does it really mean, and what is the fix, but of course they wouldn't. Alesis said we don't know what that is, never seen it before. I finally searched out and bought a 64 bit PCI Firewire card, with the latest TI chipset, found several reviews saying it works for Audio, at least with M-Audio products, But what I am bumped up against is this problem, when I run Reaper it sees the mixer, all 10 possible channels, but it also says the mixer is closed.
#ALESIS MULTIMIX 4 USB VERSION INSTALL#
But here is the catch, it only works, according to them this is how their tech guys got it to work,, if you have one of the old 32 bit Firewire cards they listed as proven to work and it has the TI chipset and you install it under/in the Win 7 32 bit XP mode area, which by the way is only available if you have the W7 ultimate premium/Pro version, Unfortunately 99% of us got stuck with the bottom line Home premium version and it has no XP mode option, nor can it be added unless you first buy the other top level version of W7 for around $200 or more.
#ALESIS MULTIMIX 4 USB VERSION DRIVER#
The last driver Alesis posted for the Multi-mix 8 Firewire is version 3.5.3.867 and Alesis said it is the last thing they will ever do for Firewire mixers, and that they have forever washed their hands of the whole mess. Last ever Alesis Win 7 64 bit driver 3.5.3.867
