I have a simple DSP setup on the Live! that routes these signals to the front and rear digital outs. Those digital outs are connectd to the CD_SPDIF and AUD_EXT-SPDIF0 on the Audigy. I then am also using the Line-in and the CD_IN on the Audigy for four more channels. This brings me up to 8 channels, which is OK, but I want more.

...

I understand that this should be feasable, but lack the coding skills to do this myself, I have looked at the ASIO SDK, but C++ scares me.

Even Live! Drive has ADC on it's own, if you don't/can't use native ASIO w/ this card, you can set only one source at once for input (-2). If you can fix this w/ routing capability of kX then you propably can get more than just one source into use.

Arent those CD_IN and Line-In on Audigy mixed? (both uses the AnalogMix() port (original drivers) which means you can't record discrete signal from those into separate tracks (-2)). If you can set these two as separate sources w/ kX drivers then it's not mixed and you get four channels into use.

If you start using the Asio4All, it'll drop your inputs to max Two because of, you need to select the recording source through "surround mixer"/"windows recording controls" then (there is no more than one source selectable at once). If Asio4All works w/ kX drivers differently then it's maybe showing only those same I/Os you get w/ native kX ASIO.

Behringer ADA8000 (~ $300US) + E-MU 1212M (~$100US) could give you
- 8 channels w/ mic-preamps (through ADAT) +
- 2 analog mono channels +
- one stereo S/PDIF channel
w/ quality boost you can't even imagine yet.

w/ 2 x Behringer ADA8000 + RME HDSP 9652 (~$500US) you can get all those 16 Inputs (+ option for one more ADA8000 addon) w/ really high quality.
or
2 x Behringsr ADA8000 + 2xMARIAN MARC A (2x ~$130US)

Sure there are some other devices/combinations you could use for total 16 channels but w/ your present cards it's not possible.


BTW, there are also ASIO/VST SDKs for Delphi available @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/delphiasiovst/
