Art:Funny you should mention the Console. It's what I am currently using. The problem is that when I use it as a VST plugin I lose access to the soundcard's "physical" I/O pins.
As DWK said, it's more than likely that when you are using a VST host plugin (dsp_vst.dll) that is 2-in 2-out there is simply no way to route more than two channels out.
So, when I use Console as a host, I get the needed hardware I/O routing but need to use ASIO4ALL and Virtual Audio Cable just to get the darn music stream into the mix! When I use Console as a plugin, I no longer need ASIO4ALL and Virtual Audio Cable (can stream directly in) but I lose my HARDWARE I/O routing. CATCH 22!! :o)
The solution is to *hope* a 2-in/8-out VST Host plugin comes available, or just cough up the loot for an ASIO Card that *also* has DSP based routing functionality, precluding the need for third-party mixer software altogether.
Thanks for the input!
Cheers,
Presto
