Giga To Audio Sequencer Path Connection
I know this topic has been covered before but I\'m still not clear on all of the aternatives, their pros and cons nad user experiences. BTW, I am a new Sonar user and my sequencer and Giga reside on the same computer.
Goal: To provide Giga generated audio to a Sonar audio track in real-time i.e. as Sonar sends MIDI to Giga, route the resulting Giga audio back into Sonar for processing/recording.
Solution: From my NS searches, it seems there are three possible solutions;
1) Physically connect an audio card\'s analog/digital outputs to its digital/analog inputs.
2) Set-up the audio card\'s loop-back (monitoring) feature whereby it internally routes \"out\" audio to \"in\" audio (my Echo Mia card does not seem to have this feature).
3) Use a product like ReWire to connect digital audio \"out\" with \"in\" (how does ReWire actually accomplishes this?? - where does it get the Giga output from?)).
Are there other option? What have been your experiences? Do most people simply render .WAV files from Giga and import tem into their audio SW? Can a P3 866MHz keep up with these demands? Thanks.
